Inspired Flight IF1200A Hexacopter: Professional Heavy-Lift Power Made in the USA

The Inspired Flight IF1200A is engineered for mission-focused operators who require the performance of a heavy-lift platform without sacrificing mobility or compliance.

Key Features

  • Up to 43-minute flight time with 16000mAh battery system
  • 19.1 lb payload capacity compliant with FAA Part 107
  • SAFE drone capability enables emergency motor-out recovery
  • Supports wide variety of EO/IR, LiDAR, RGB sensors
  • Real-time FPV and dual GPS units for pilot control
  • Blue UAS and NDAA compliant for government use
  • Made and supported entirely in the United States

With up to 43 minutes of airtime, top speeds of 56 mph, and 19.1 lbs of payload capacity, this American-made hexacopter is trusted for defense, industrial inspection, LiDAR, and emergency response.

Its modular design features dual-mounted propellers for improved lift in a more compact footprint. This makes for easy transport and rapid deployment.

The payload interface supports a wide variety of advanced imaging and scanning technologies including EO/IR, Phase One, Sony, and LiDAR sensors. 

With the SAFE drone system, the IF1200A maintains flight control even if a motor fails-ensuring uninterrupted operations in the most critical scenarios.

Government-Approved Performance

The IF1200A’s NDAA compliance and Blue UAS listing make it a highly trusted platform for government, defense, and critical-infrastructure operations. Its components meet strict U.S. sourcing and security requirements, ensuring that mission data and communications remain protected.

This also means agencies can deploy the aircraft without worrying about restricted parts or cybersecurity vulnerabilities tied to foreign-manufactured components.

Being on the Blue UAS Cleared List further streamlines procurement. The IF1200A has already undergone DoD evaluation for safety, reliability, and cybersecurity, so teams can adopt it quickly without lengthy waiver processes.

For missions that demand both capability and compliance, the IF1200A offers a secure, ready-to-deploy solution.

Applications

  • Long-range industrial and energy inspections
  • Tactical and military-grade operations
  • 3D terrain and infrastructure mapping
  • Emergency response and disaster logistics
  • Large-area photogrammetry and multispectral imaging

Dronefly partners with enterprise and government clients to deliver tailored drone systems backed by expert support.

From payload configuration to pilot training, we ensure your IF1200A is optimized for the challenges ahead. We're committed to long-term reliability, full compliance, and mission success.

What’s the difference between the Inspired Flight IF800 and IF1200A?

The IF1200A is engineered for heavy-lift missions, offering higher payload capacity and longer endurance, making it suitable for large-scale mapping and utility projects. The IF800 is a versatile, mid-sized platform, ideal for urban missions and applications where a balance of portability and payload capability is essential.

What is the difference between the IF1200 and the IF1200A?

The IF1200 and IF1200A are the same aircraft model; some documentation uses one term or the other.

What is the maximum flight time of the IF1200A?

Up to about 43 minutes under ideal conditions (no payload) for the IF1200A.

What is the maximum payload capacity of the IF1200A?

Maximum payload around 19.1 lbs (8.7 kg).
