Voliro T is an omnidirectional tri-copter NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) inspection drone capable of ±90° pitch for contact inspections on surfaces of any orientation — vertical walls, ceilings, and complex structures. Weighing 3.7 kg (6.0 kg max takeoff), with 10–14 minute flight time, 12 m/s wind resistance, 4K 12MP inspector camera, 5G connectivity, triple-redundant IMU, RTK GPS, and 300+ m transmission range — the Voliro T Version 5 sets a new standard for aerial NDT inspection in offshore energy, wind turbines, bridges, and industrial facilities.
Omnidirectional Contact Inspection – Any Surface, Any Angle
- ±90° Pitch Capability – Orient to any surface for direct contact inspection of vertical walls, overhangs, and ceilings
