Safe-T

tethered drone station

Safe-T is a power supply station for tethered UAVs which is manufactured and marketed by elistair. Throughout a continuous dialogue with this partner, we have completed a relevant usage scenario in order to settle the design inputs of a simple and easy to use product. Connectors and user interface are integrated onto a suitcase that hosts a motorised rewinder. The tether has two main functions: it supplies power to the UAV and transfers the collected datas down to the station. We have designed a set of special parts in order to allow the tether to pass through the suitcase and to connect it to the UAV. Moreover, we have designed a dedicated drone hull that integrates a carrying handle.
