The vehicle has an ultra-light shock-absorbent construction and weighs 700g, minimising its impact energy. It features a safety-conscious rear-facing propeller and an autopilot, which manages a range of failsafe behaviours. The eBee can cover up to 12 km2 (4.6 mi2) in a single automated flight, while flights over smaller areas, flown at lower altitudes, can acquire images with a ground sampling distance (GSD) of down to 1.5 cm (0.6 in) per pixel.
