Although 2020 was a challenging year for many, Flyability remained incredibly active and focused on innovation. We were able to maintain momentum and even expand our reach in the face of uncertainty.
Before we take a look back at what we accomplished in 2020, we want to extend our best wishes to all our clients, partners, prospects, and supporters around the world for a successful 2021.
7 Million Euros Raised + First U.S. Office Opened
The year began with an exciting milestone: the opening of our first U.S. office in Denver, Colorado. This move allowed us to better serve our growing customer base across the Americas. As the year came to a close, we also celebrated the successful completion of our Series C funding round, which brought in 7 million Euros (approximately $8.6 million USD). The new capital will fuel our continued development of indoor drones and the software that supports their use in critical inspections.
Software for Data Localization
In late 2020, we launched Inspector 3.0, a powerful tool that enables users to localize inspection data on a 3D map created after each flight. This feature eliminates the guesswork involved in locating defects during visual inspections. With Inspector 3.0, inspectors can now pinpoint flaws directly on a sparse point cloud, allowing maintenance teams to quickly identify and address issues.

Webinars, Webinars, Webinars
With the global shift to remote work and social distancing, webinars became a vital part of professional learning in 2020. Flyability embraced this change and adapted our events accordingly. What started as a pivot from our annual User Conference in Denver turned into a full-fledged webinar series that lasted throughout the year.
We hosted a total of 21 webinars in 2020, attracting over 21,000 registrants and nearly 4,000 live attendees. Some of the most popular topics included:
- How to Mitigate Intrinsic Safety
- Indoor 3D Modeling Use Cases: Photogrammetry in Action
- How to Build and Scale a Drone Program at Your Company
- Learn How API and ASME Experts Are Expanding Drone Inspection Applications
All webinar recordings are available for viewing anytime—check out the full list here.
Case Studies Demonstrate Safety and Savings
Throughout 2020, we published several case studies showcasing how our drone technology is making inspections safer and more cost-effective for our clients. Here are two standout examples:
Drone Reduces Time Needed for Scrubber Inspection by 98%, Saving 470 Hours of Work
- Application: Power Generation
- Client: Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)
The TVA used the Elios 2 to inspect a scrubber at one of its power plants, significantly reducing inspection time and improving safety for workers. Read the full case study here.
$2 Million Saved Using Elios 2 for Oil Tanker Cargo Inspection
- Application: Maritime
- Client: Marine Inspection Services, Ltd
Marine Inspection Services helped an oil tanker manager save $2 million by using the Elios 2 for cargo tank inspections. Learn more about this success story here.

Supporting Research and Exploration
Last year, we also shared two inspiring videos that highlighted our role in pushing the boundaries of exploration.
Flyability’s Elios Used to Explore Some of the Deepest Ice Caves in the World
This mission took researchers to Greenland to study water movement beneath ice, helping to understand the impact of climate change. Learn more here.
Elios 2 Tested at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant
This video highlights a mission to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, where the Elios 2 was used to gather visual data inside Reactor Five—a site that had been inaccessible since the 1986 disaster. Read more here.
New In-Depth Guides
Continuing from 2019, we expanded our guide series in 2020, offering detailed resources on key topics relevant to our community. Some of the guides we released include:
- NDT (Non-Destructive Testing): What It Is, Common Methods & Industries, and How Drones Can Help
- Indoor Drones: What They Are, What They Do, and the Different Types on the Market
- Boiler Inspections: What They Are, How They Are Conducted, and How Drones Can Help
Overall, we published 11 guides in 2020—view them all here.
