The Platform

The Teneo | E.

Not a drone. A data platform.

The first pre-series glider designed for the 100-kilometer mission.

TENEO | E
The Anatomy

Engineered for Endurance.

TENEO | E — Technical Schema
01

The Envelope

5-meter airfoil-shaped body for dynamic lift. The blended body design turns air resistance into additional lift.

02

Lift Gas Cells

Dual-cell helium system for static buoyancy. Redundant design ensures lift integrity even with a single cell.

03

Trim Air Cell

Active pitch & pressure control without external flaps. Internal ballonet system compensates for altitude and temperature changes.

04

Twin Vector Thrusters

Dual electric motors with 180° vectoring. This allows for full agility, precise maneuvering, and short take-off capabilities in tight terrain.

Optimization driven by data. A blended body design that turns air resistance into lift, powered by a redundant propulsion system.

System Capabilities

Performance in a Nutshell.

Endurance6 HoursCovers 100–150 km per flight.
Speed25 km/hOptimized for zero-blur LiDAR density.
Wind Tolerance20 km/hOperational on ~90% of days.
Dimensions5 MetersLength overall. Transportable in a van.
PropulsionDual ElectricTwin 180° Vectoring Units.
Ceiling120m AGLStandard inspection altitude.
The Payload

Multi-Sensor Ready.

Don't choose between LiDAR and RGB. Fly both.

STANDARD

100 MP RGB

Phase One / Sony

Sub-millimeter resolution. Georeferenced imagery for visual inspection and change detection.

STANDARD

Precision LiDAR

± 5 mm repeatability

For vegetation geometry, sagging analysis, and 3D corridor mapping.

OPTIONAL

Modular Bay

Mission-specific

Thermal / IR
SAR
Green LiDAR (Bathymetry)
Intrinsic Safety

Why we don’t fall.

The Teneo | E is lighter than the air it displaces.
Unlike a 15 kg multicopter that drops like a stone upon power failure, our platform floats.

Descent Profile

Gentle, buoyant descent. No free fall.

Redundancy

Dual motors ensure control even with one unit failed.

Impact Energy

Minimal. Safe for people and infrastructure below.

We are currently conducting pilot flights with select partners.
