Sony Airpeak S1

With turnkey integrated RMUS payloads

Sony Airpeak S1

With turnkey integrated RMUS payloads

Product Description

Realize longer, accurate flights and high precision data capture for industrial applications with Airpeak S1 enterprise solution. The enterprise solution includes Sony’s Airpeak S1 professional drone and a variety of accessories that provide the functionality necessary for industrial use.

RTK flight accuracy and high precision data acquisition

Multiple configurations for use with included base station or GNSS correction data service

Supporting both network-type and base station type RTK as well as PPK logging provides use in a wide variety of work environments.


Enables recording of positioning information with accuracy within a few centimeters

RTK enables accurate positioning with accuracy within a few centimeters, compared with GNSS with accuracy within a few meters. The positioning information is synchronized with high precision with the timing of image data capture, and the recorded position is offset to the center of the image sensor.

Stable flight even with strong magnetic field interference

Two GNSS antennas enable stable flight even in an environment where the geomagnetic sensor may affect the aircraft’s control due to the influence of inspection objects or surrounding structures.

Accurate flight with low-error self-position estimation

Self-position estimation with less error is achieved by using RTK in conjunction with vision sensors, improving aircraft handling during deceleration, hovering stability, and automatic flight accuracy. By using Direct Repeat Flight, periodic inspection flows can be reproduced as many times as desired with high accuracy, enabling efficient and highly accurate operations that do not depend on operator skill.

RTK flight accuracy and high precision data acquisition

High wind resistance to prevent being swept away by strong winds

Sony-developed propulsion devices such as propellers, motors, and ESCs, as well as the flight controller achieve wind resistance of up to 44.7 mph (20m/s)*. The aircraft resists being swept away by erratic winds at high altitudes and is stable even in strong winds at coasts and in canyons.


*Without payload

Supports long automated flights

Supports the ability to resume automated flight after it has been interrupted mid-flight, and battery hot-swapping, which allows battery replacement while the aircraft is powered on. Achieves approximately 20 minutes* of flight time while equipped with RTK and high-resolution camera.


*When equipped with LBP-HM1, RTK-1, GBL-PX1, Alpha 7R IV A, FE 35mm F2.8 Zeiss, cruising speed(9m/s) , sea level, no wind
