The ScanLift Orbit
Hybrid-Electric Heavy Lift & Long Endurance UAS
The ScanLift Orbit has been purposed built for long endurance and long range including reliability and ruggedness and has been rigorously tested up to 8000ft with full payload and in some of the hardest environments in the world from the snow capped mountains in Canada to the harsh deserts of outback Australia.

Features
-

Up to 10kg/22lbs payload compacity allowing a multitude of payload options maximising ROI.
-
Push Button Electric Start
Starting the iHE7 hybrid generator engine couldn't be simpler or easier with its push button electric start.
-
Redundancy
Electric motor redundancy. Petrol engine redundancy with up to 5 min reserve battery. Optional parachute. Battery power supply redundancies.
-
Ground Control System
Intuitive ground control system with long range communication capabilities. Secure encrypted data link.
-
Modular Design
Modular design with interchangeable arms allowing easy replacement of damaged arms or motors. Simply 'plug-n- fly'.

-
Powerful EFI Generator
Electronic Fuel Injected iHE7 hybrid-electric generator provides exceptional power backed up by genuine data.
-
Data Security
Sovereign data highly secured not leaving its localized area. No auto updates & permission only hardware pairing.
-
Full Autonomous Flight
World class Jupiter + autopilot flight controller with full autonomous flight capability. Secure In-house proprietary source code.
-
Payload Dampening System
Integrated payload dampening system minimizing vibrations allowing better quality data.
-
Quick Connect Mount
Quick connect mount system allows fast and easy changing of payloads while out in the field.
-
Ease Of Use
Ease of use from beginners to experienced pilots. Spend more time on collecting quality data as opposed to complex aircraft operations.
Options
-
ADS-B
ScanLift integrated ADS-B receiver is a light weight, long range, low power consumption module enabling BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) certified flights, DAA (Detect and Avoid) capabilities and remote pilot 360x360degree spatial awareness. (Remote ID ready).
-
Ground Control Station Dual Handover
Single or dual GCS’s and screens with BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight). For large corridor mapping dual GCS’s allow for GCS handover from one GCS to another GCS. Customizable modems and control integrations available.
-
First Person View Camera
The on-board FPV camera allows the pilot to see the ScanLifts’s point of view from a secondary ground screen. AV or HDMI options available for FPV or payload video link.
-
Terrain Laser Sensor
The laser sensor allows terrain following or in flight height above terrain telemetry helping to mitigate risk including maintaining data collection accuracy and spatial awareness.
-
Rader
Radar height detection usable over wet areas where LiDAR is not applicable.
-
Parachute
If our Autopilot system detects any flight parameters outside the normal ranges then all the motors shut down and the parachute is deployed automatically. The parachute is also non ballistic and commercial airline transportable.
-
Real-Time Kinematic
The ScanLift Orbit is RTK ready and seamlessly links with INF’s RTK base station or with a customers existing base stations. RTK increases navigational accuracy and geologging of images as they are triggered during flight.
-
Optional Payload Voltage
5v, 7v, 12v, 24v. Power payloads from main batteries, no need for separate payload battery.

Introducing The iHE7
The Magic Behind Long Flight Times.
The Magic Behind Long Flight Times.


Years in the making this is INF’s latest Electronic Fuel Injected iHE7 Hybrid-Electric Generator. It is the magic behind the long flight times including maintaining high safety margins with electric propulsion motor redundancy as well as engine failure redundancy with up to 7 minutes reserve battery. The iHE7 boasts 3.5kw / 4.7hp providing exceptional power supply for heavy payloads, steep terrain changes and extreme long endurance.
The iHE7 is an electronically fuel injected (EFI), self starting engine with a unique air cooled design for simplicity and in field reliability in any environment. With a massive peak output of 3.5kw / 4.7hp and a continuous 3kw (4hp) output the iHE7 is incredibly fuel efficient, the on-board ECU controls engine management, fuel flow, fuel injection, cooling and throttle management/power output.
