What if a single electric wing could stare at a 20-kilometre radius for eight straight hours?...

Stratus is the high-altitude sentinel of the Helais suite.


Its fixed-wing, hydrogen-ready airframe loiters for up to eight hours, broadcasting HD, thermal and SAR imagery while doubling as a 3-kilometre–high communications mast.


Where helicopters burn £1,700 an hour, Stratus delivers persistent eyes-on with <£80 operating cost, feeding every other Helais drone — and every responder on the ground — with continuous intelligence and network coverage.
