Syos Aerospace – SA200

Press

Syos Aerospace was launched to develop and manufacture practical and viable heavy-lift unmanned aerial systems (UAS/drones) to take the pilot out of the sky. Whether it’s transporting goods, lifting sensitive equipment, or providing a cost-efficient aerial platform, the SA-200 is a multi-purpose platform capable of performing many roles.

Owned and operated in New Zealand, Syos focuses on delivering true utilitarian UAS suitable for the dull, dirty and dangerous.
