Frequently Asked Questions

Our generator-based drones can fly for up to several hours depending on the load and mission type. The precise range depends on payload, weather, and terrain, but we design it for maximum endurance and robustness.

Our drones are compatible with a wide range of sensors – including cameras, spray booms, radar sensors, and other specialized equipment. The system architecture is modular and open, so you can adapt the solution to your specific task.

We currently offer two models: HD-408 and HD-606. HD-408 is a flexible and robust drone for medium-sized payloads, while HD-606 is designed for heavy lifting and long flights.

Our drones should be able to be hosed down with a garden hose, fly for hours, and be operationally reliable in harsh environments. We build our products based on practical experience and with respect to the work our customers perform every day.

We build drones with integrated generator systems – a self-starting, multi-fuel 7 kW system under 9 kg. This provides significantly longer flight time and enables us to solve tasks where battery drones must give up. All our electronics and software are developed in-house and EASA-approved, and we work purposefully with open interface solutions and European production.

We are looking for skilled and committed partners throughout Europe and selected global markets. To become a distributor, you must submit a brief 'Light Business Plan', which we use to assess potential and establish cooperation. Send us an email and we'll look at it.

Hecto Drone was founded on the simple yet important realization that electric drones didn't have sufficient flight time to be practically usable in agriculture. Therefore, we developed a compact generator system that makes it possible to fly for hours without stopping – and that was the beginning of our drone platform.

Yes. All Hecto Drone models support autonomous missions. This includes automatic takeoff and landing, route planning, and data collection. Our software is developed in-house and optimized for precision tasks.

Spraying fertilizer with drones is not yet permitted in the EU, but we are preparing our technology for future approval. In the meantime, our systems are used for testing, research, and other precision data collection.

Our systems have local encrypted data storage, and all communication is secure. We also offer customizations regarding GDPR and national data security requirements.

Yes. Our systems are built according to current EU regulations, and we work according to SORA principles (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) for safe drone operation. When purchasing a drone, the necessary documentation for flying it is included.

Yes. We sell our products both directly and through authorized distributors. Contact us to learn more about prices and delivery terms.

Yes. We offer both standard and extended service agreements, including maintenance, delivery of spare parts, and technical support. We ensure quick response time and close cooperation with our customers and partners.

Updates are delivered wirelessly and can be installed automatically or manually, depending on your needs. We also offer version control for test environments and critical systems.
