The senseFly eBee unmanned aircraft used by Geavis takes off from the operator’s hand after being directed against the wind in order to limit the necessary ground velocity. The aircraft’s software automatically determines the take-off point as well as the home waypoint, which is why the vicinity within a 40-metre radius around the take-off point must be free of hindrances that could obstruct landing.

Although grass makes an ideal landing surface, eBee can also land safely on asphalt or other surfaces. The aircraft features low mass and is made of flexible material, and will not be irreparably damaged in the event of a hard landing. The only thing necessary to ensure is a landing area free of any prominent hindrances such as rocks, columns, trees, buildings etc.
