Product info
Acecore's most optimised UAS ever. The Acecore Zoe has been on the market since 2017, since then it's got an entirely new propulsion system and internal layout bringing the maximum flight time to 47 minutes. Combined with multiband F9P RTK, modular payload bay, and numerous payload integrations, it's the most versatile drone from Acecore to date.
Endless Configurations
Each Zoe is tailor-made to your specifications. Its abundant lifting capacity and modular setup allow users to combine the payload, batteries and additional modules to form the perfectly balanced system for each application - or multiple at once. There is a setup for everything.
- Security
- Mapping
- Inspection
- LiDAR
4 or 8 Motors
Opt for a quadcopter to get the maximum endurance, or an octocopter to get the most performance and redundancy out of the Zoe platform.
Aerodynamic Design
Zoe’s aerodynamic Dutch-design carbon fibre frame puts it in a class of its own. The way it doesn’t hang but rather stands in the air makes it highly weatherproof. The Acecore Zoe is both wind and rain resistant which means it can operate at continuous wind speeds of 7 Beaufort/ 30 knots with rain up to 9mm/h. The hollow arms generate an active airflow through the entire system and pull hot air out of the motor mounts, away from the critical components. As a result, Zoe will operate at temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius.
Unlimited Flight Time
Tethering Zoe to an Elistair Safe-T 2 station gives professionals access to unlimited flight times. At 80 metres in height, Zoe can carry a payload of 2.7 kilograms like a Workswell WIRIS Security in a Gremsy S1 gimbal all day. In a tethered operation, Zoe can follow any moving vehicle autonomously- it will keep its position above the van, truck, UGV, boat, or ATV that the Safe-T 2 and high accuracy RTK GPS is mounted to. Leverage this autonomous vehicle follow-me function for new applications such as convoy protection or car LiDAR scanning.
Custom Integrations
Although Acecore offers many of today’s most advanced payloads and setups as off-the-shelf products, we love doing custom projects: it’s what separates us from the rest. Acecore builds commercial/ military spec drones to your wishes so you can stand out in your field of work. Let us know what camera, sensor, module, or other hardware you need to be installed and our engineers will make it happen.
Modular System
Designed with versatility in mind, Zoe’s body is modular and can easily be taken apart for hardware upgrades and customisations. Batteries, landing gear, and entire booms can be interchanged to ensure a future-proof system. The heatsink has several mounting points where additional gear can be secured, and the payload mount is configurable to allow for many third-party payload integrations.
