SiFly, a Silicon Valley-based startup, has introduced a new line of long-range electric drones designed to expand industrial capabilities. The company’s flagship Q12 platform delivers more than two hours of continuous hover and up to three hours in forward flight, enabling a 90-mile operational range while carrying payloads of up to 10 lbs. According to the company, this can lead to new possibilities for Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) missions that were previously unattainable. SiFly plans to begin deliveries of the Q12 in the fourth quarter of 2025.

SiFly also unveiled the Q250, a heavy-lift drone capable of transporting 200-lbs payloads with a 100-minute endurance. This capability allows the Q250 to serve as a direct replacement for expensive helicopter operations in fire suppression, commercial and military cargo transport, and agricultural spraying.

SiFly is currently demonstrating its technology for public and private sector organizations across the United States and plans to announce multiple strategic industry partnerships in the coming months.
