While low-altitude operations have long been plagued by challenges such as "low payload capacity, short endurance, and difficulty adapting to various scenarios," the FC100 tethered drone has emerged, delivering groundbreaking performance that breaks through industry constraints and becoming an "all-purpose tool" in fields like power line maintenance, fire rescue, and emergency logistics—redefining the boundaries of efficiency and safety in low-altitude operations.

 

Hardcore specs, breaking the performance ceiling.

In terms of performance, each set of data from the FC100 embodies the spirit of a “pioneer.” Featuring a 4-axis, 8-rotor multirotor configuration paired with 62-inch carbon-fiber propellers optimized for aerodynamic efficiency, it achieves an impressive maximum payload of 80 kg, effortlessly carrying heavy loads such as large-scale equipment and emergency supplies—completely breaking free from the limitation that “light payloads are required for flight.”

In terms of endurance, it sets an industry benchmark: In tethered mode, powered by a ground-based generator or grid electricity, it can operate continuously for up to 24 hours, making it ideally suited for scenarios requiring long-term on-site presence, such as firefighting and communication relay. In dual-battery mode, it can carry a payload of 65 kg and fly for 12 kilometers; even in single-battery mode, with a payload capacity of 80 kg, it can still maintain flight for 6 kilometers, doubling the efficiency of short-distance transportation. Coupled with dual-battery hot-swapping technology, it achieves “zero-power interruption battery replacement,” ensuring that operational rhythms never lag behind.

 

Faced with complex environments, the FC100 remains fully confident. With an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance, and the ability to withstand strong winds up to 12 meters per second, it can operate reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -20℃ to 40℃ and at altitudes as high as 6,000 meters. Whether it’s emergency power repairs in plateau mountain regions or firefighting rescue operations during the rainy season, the FC100 handles these tasks with ease. Notably, as the only medium-sized multirotor drone in the industry to have obtained airworthiness certification, the FC100 ensures compliant operations right from the start, giving users peace of mind and eliminating any worries.

 

Application areas

Power Operation and Maintenance Field At the maintenance site of the 1,000-kV Nanjing-II transmission line, the FC100, carrying a 44-kilogram double-pendulum anti-dancing device, was lifted to an altitude of 70 meters. In just three minutes, it successfully deployed the new device and retrieved the old one, thereby avoiding operational risks in farmland and ponds. This solution is well-suited for anti-dancing treatment of conductors with large spans of up to 600 meters, transforming power line maintenance from being “time-consuming and labor-intensive” into “efficient and safe.”

Fire and rescue field Equipped with four specialized modules—quick-change fire-extinguishing projectile launcher, 40mm-caliber water hose, window-breaking fire-extinguishing kit, and a 20L dry powder tank—it maintains a water hose range of 10–15 meters even from a height of 70 meters, and can cover a space of 100 m³ with dry powder. In tethered mode, it can operate continuously for 24 hours, making it the “mainstay force” for tackling fires in high-rise buildings and chemical plants.

Emergency Logistics Field The FC100 enables precise delivery of 80 kg of emergency supplies, increasing efficiency by a factor of 10 compared to vehicle detours and reducing costs by 93%. In the mountainous terrain of Ganzi, Sichuan, the time required to transport supplies to scenic areas has been shortened from 2-3 hours to just 30 minutes, effectively overcoming the challenge of “difficult transportation” in remote regions.

In addition, the FC100 can also be equipped with communication relay devices to set up temporary base stations, work in conjunction with robotic arms to perform precise engineering operations, and even accompany scientific expedition teams to Antarctica for ice surface exploration—truly achieving “multi-functionality in a single device, empowering across all scenarios.”

From pushing the boundaries of performance to solidifying security defenses, and from adapting to diverse scenarios to reducing operational costs, the FC100 tethered drone is not only a high-performance device—it’s also the “core engine” driving the high-quality development of the low-altitude economy. As low-altitude operations enter an “all-around era,” the FC100, with its robust capabilities, proves that whether it’s providing emergency support in high-risk environments or boosting efficiency in daily operations, it can become users’ most reliable “aerial partner,” helping countless industries unlock new possibilities and jointly paint a fresh blueprint for the development of the low-altitude economy!
