Flyability celebrates the launch of the Elios 3 Tether Power Unit — a breakthrough set to redefine industrial drone inspections

We’re proud to celebrate a major milestone from our portfolio company, Flyability: the launch of the Elios 3 Tether Power Unit — a breakthrough set to redefine industrial drone inspections.

The Elios 3 tether unit delivers continuous power for extended, stress-free missions. By connecting to a wall outlet, generator, or compatible portable power station, it converts 100–240 V AC into high-voltage DC, transmitted through a 50 m (164 ft) Kevlar®-reinforced cable. With steady power from the ground, operators can eliminate mid-mission battery changes, minimise downtime, and stay fully focused on critical inspections in challenging or hazardous environments.

This innovation is more than a technical upgrade — it addresses one of the biggest operational pain points in industrial inspection: uninterrupted reliability in demanding conditions. From energy infrastructure to confined-space inspections, the Elios 3 Tether Power Unit enhances both efficiency and safety, ensuring teams can capture the data they need without compromise.

Congratulations to Flyability on another leap forward in drone-led inspection technology. Their continued commitment to solving real-world challenges shows exactly why we back visionary founders driving the future of sustainable and efficient industries.
