  • The ALTI Transition, equipped with the Raptor payload, takes aerial intelligence to the next level. In this recent footage of a fire in Plettenberg Bay, captured during a routine test flight, the Raptor's advanced zoom and thermal capabilities showcase their critical value. Through dense smoke, the thermal camera pinpoints the flame front with clarity, providing situational awareness to inform ground teams in real-time. With operational costs under $10/hour, the Transition ensures cost-effective, efficient, and actionable insights for time-sensitive missions. #MasterEveryMission #FlyALTI #ALTIunmanned #VTOL #UAS
