Ezio is a new generation of police drones with long-endurance, fast response, and a wide range of capabilities to help officers do their job more effectively and safely. The Ezio combines bionic design with the vertical take-off and landing airframe, taking inspiration from the fierce beak of the eagle and its one-piece streamlined body, resulting in better endurance and load capacity than traditional quadcopters. Ezio can be used for first response, first aid, aerial policing, and air tracking. Officers can use Ezio to facilitate their work.
