Inspired Flight unveils groundbreaking American-Made Drone: Advancing critical technology in the United States
Inspired Flight Technologies, a leading American drone manufacturer, announces the highly anticipated re-release of their medium-lift IF800 Tomcat, a vehicle that’s set to ship before the end of the year.
Inspired Flight’s IF800 Tomcat features a lightweight, compact, and foldable frame, enabling easy
transportation and deployment in various environments. The drone comes with a specially designed case that offers ample space for batteries and payload, ensuring convenience and protection during transit. Whether it’s inspecting infrastructure, mapping terrain, or conducting LiDAR surveys, the IF800 Tomcat is a reliable and adaptable tool for professionals in need of cutting-edge aerial capabilities.
With a max payload capacity of 3 kg, this medium-lift drone delivers unparalleled flexibility and productivity.
It is the first NDAA-compliant industrial-grade drone to deliver greater than 40-minute flight time while carrying many of the most popular high-resolution cameras and sensors. Dual hot-swappable smart batteries enable large missions to be completed without system resets and easy slide installation ensures minimal downtime during battery swaps.
This advanced drone design also features a 30-degree upward-angle shooting capability for gimbal-mounted cameras, enabling more effective imaging of wind turbines, bridges, and other critical infrastructure. An integral FPV (First-Person View) camera allows operators real-time visual feedback and precise control during flights.
Inspired Flight manufacturers to all of their systems, including the IF800 Tomcat, without reliance on critical
Chinese or other foreign technologies are prohibited by the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

importance of drone technology to the economic and national security of the United States. Inspired Flight is fully committed to re-establishing America’s leadership in this consequential industry.
