PROTECTIVE CAGE
A protective cage surrounds ELIOS 2. The cage is preventing collisions between the propellers and
humans, assets, or other obstacles.
LOAD LIMITING MECHANISM
The Load Limiting Mechanism (LLM) is a spring-loaded frame passively pivoting whenever the camera
collides into something. It enhances the ruggedness of ELIOS 2 greatly and protect its payload.
BUMPER
Designed to absorb energy, the Bumper links the inner frame to the cage.
MOTORS AND PROPELLERS
Four propellers create the thrust required to fly and to maneuver the aircraft. The motors have fast
reversing capability allowing the aircraft to sustain external perturbations. Two motors spin clockwise,
and the two others spin counter-clockwise
