How to inspect large infrastructures with millimetric precision and lowest environmental impact?
We have developed the HyLighter technology to answer this problem.
The HyLighter is an airship drone powered by electricity capable of flying slowly (and hovering) over hundreds of kilometers equipped with the most accurate sensors.

Gyros
at the front and rear are providing vectorial thrust, responsiveness and high maneuverability. They allow our HyLighters to make stationary flights.
Envelope
developed following European certification standards. It is filled with lighter than air gas (He) for buoyancy. It makes our solution energy efficient allowing flights to be long in time as well as in distance.
Gondola
holds all flight systems including GPS RTK and ultrasonic wind sensors for most precise positioning.
Telecommunication
system through RF and LTE which allow unlimited range in BVLOS operations.
Payload
composed of multi-sensors for efficient data collection in 1 single flight.
Powered
through batteries or hydrogen fuel cells to fly without GHGs emissions.
Hydrogen allows even longer flights.

The value is the data we collect
Thanks to our unique platform we can embark heavier sensors which allow us to collect better reliable data. We can collect photos and videos in the visual spectrum as well as in the infrared spectrum, point cloud with LiDAR and gas leak detection. Other sensors can be integrated depending on your needs.
The information we collect is stored on board. While it can be transferred live in flight, it is usually securely transferred after the flights through our cloud which guarantees secure data management for our clients.

Safety is your priority. It is also ours.
We are operating flights in low populated as well as populated areas so we have to ensure the highest levels of reliability. We are applying the European drone regulation and are operating in the Open and Specific category.
Our technology presents features enabling safest aerial operations.
The HyLighter utilizes a lighter-than-air gas for buoyancy, providing it with an exceptionally low descent rate, even during emergency scenarios with a tested descent rate at 4 km/h.
Additionally, given its size the HyLight is highly visible (at tested distances exceeding 2 km) making it easy to see and avoid for all third parties.
HyLight also implemented more safety measures:
As a blimp, the HyLighter ensures that, in the event of a descent, the kinetic energy (already minimal) will not be transferred to surrounding objects because the envelope acts as an airbag.
The HyLighter’s stability is assured at all times both by our front and rear gyros as well as our control surfaces.
Finally, the HyLighter is slightly heavier than air to make it impossible to fly away.
