Inspired Flight IF1200A Hexacopter: Mission-Ready Power for Industrial and Government Operations
The Inspired Flight IF1200A is a heavy-lift commercial hexacopter engineered to meet the demands of high-stakes aerial missions. Whether you're conducting utility inspections, emergency response, or defense reconnaissance, this NDAA-compliant drone delivers elite performance in a compact, durable frame. With up to 43 minutes of flight time, a 19.1 lb payload capacity under Part 107, and wind resistance up to 23 knots, the IF1200A is one of the most capable platforms available for mission-critical operations.
At the heart of the IF1200A is its SAFE drone system, which provides advanced flight redundancy. In the event of a motor failure, the drone transitions seamlessly into a safe manual mode and alerts the pilot to land. Built-in dual GPS, real-time FPV, and multiple flight modes-including Position Hold, Loiter, Auto, and Return-to-Launch-ensure precise control in even the most dynamic environments. Its payload interface supports a wide variety of EO/IR, LiDAR, and optical imaging sensors, allowing seamless integration for specialized field applications.
With its combination of powerful hardware and intuitive control, the IF1200A maximizes productivity, safety, and adaptability. It's the go-to solution for agencies and operators who demand endurance, capacity, and compliance in one streamlined platform.
