The Flamingo Mk3 is delivering high-value solutions in asset monitoring, agriculture and agribusiness, emergency services, energy supply, research and military operations. A fixed wing aerial vehicle, with a typical take-off weight of 25kg, it is capable of carrying large payloads and completing multiple tasks in one mission.

For autonomous and long-endurance missions, the Flamingo Mk3 is hard to beat - providing an efficient and cost-effective means to access large, remote or dangerous areas of land for surveillance, intelligence gathering, site or equipment monitoring, surveying, security and safety.

Two updates to the Flamingo Mk3 are under development as well. Flamingo Mk4 and Mk5 are 6 months and 24 months from maturity.
