Freefly Astro Max Aircraft

Freefly Astro Max Aircraft: Compact industrial drone platform for professional operations

The Freefly Astro Max is a compact industrial drone platform built to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and flexibility for demanding professional missions. It supports up to a 3 kg payload and achieves a maximum flight time of 43 minutes with no payload. Designed around Freefly's advanced propulsion and flight-control architecture, the Astro Max offers a balance of endurance and stability in a rugged, foldable airframe that's ideal for transport and field deployment.

Industrial power in a compact form

Powered by high-efficiency 7010 motors and 21-inch propellers, the Astro Max delivers increased thrust and flight efficiency over previous Astro models. The airframe folds to half its flight diameter for easier packing and rapid setup. With an open payload ecosystem and Smart Dovetail quick-release interface, users can mount professional sensors for a range of aerial tasks-from imaging to survey-grade data collection-without tools or recalibration.

Designed for dependability and ease of use

The Astro Max is equipped with a dual-battery system supporting Freefly SL8 Air smart batteries and features integrated RTK-ready positioning for centimeter-level accuracy. The included Pilot Pro controller provides responsive flight control, live telemetry, and real-time mission data. Built with professional users in mind, the Astro Max delivers consistent performance and precise handling in industrial, creative, or research environments.
