Syos Aerospace is a utilitarian UAS developer based in Tauranga, New Zealand, pioneering in the development of heavy-lift, rotary UAS. Syos was formed out of a global necessity for a UAS which was practical, viable and efficient at lifting heavy payloads for a wide range of applications.
Syos founders, Sam Vye and Cameron Baker, identified this requirement when developing technology solutions for conservation projects under sister company, Envico Technologies Limited. The Envico team would develop UAS specifically to perform services for conservation projects throughout Australasia, Pacific and South America. As there were no viable or practical heavy-lift platforms commercially available in the market, the Envico team would develop bespoke heavy-lift platforms for the projects. After conducting UAS operations in various remote locations around the world and performing many world’s firsts; including conducting 143 flights in 2 days from a boat, the Envico team had gained considerable experience developing fit-for-purpose, heavy-lift UAS and operating these in various challenging remote locations.
