Following a successful first year, the company has set its sights in 2016 on increasing production capacity and reinforcing its sales team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Limited to a generally unreliable fifteen minutes of flight time, \u201cclassic\u201d drones are often unable to meet the demanding requirements of intervention teams and industrial tasks for critical air support operations during crisis management, temporary remote communications, and inspections in restricted areas, such as airports, refineries, Seveso classified sites, and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Elistair designed and commercialized an innovative power station that enables drones to fly safely with unlimited flight time. The solution is called SAFE-T, a tethered unit comprised of a 100-meter-long ultra-light micro-tether reinforced with kevlar.
