Successful integration of Quantum Systems and DJI heavy-lift platforms proves field readiness for the regional market. The theoretical capabilities of advanced drones are well documented, but seeing them perform in a live, high-interference environment is the ultimate proof of concept. Last week at UMEX 2026, The Drone Centre (TDC) successfully coordinated live demonstrations of two of the industry's most capable platforms: the Quantum Systems Trinity Pro and the DJI FlyCart 100.

Executed in collaboration with the expert flight operations team at FEDS Drone-powered Solutions (FEDS), these demos went off without a single technical hitch, providing a stunning showcase of system integration and mission readiness for the Middle East and wider regional market.

Here is a breakdown of the systems that stole the show.

Quantum Systems Trinity Pro: The pinnacle of eVTOL mapping efficiency.

The Trinity Pro is widely regarded as the best-in-class solution for large-scale aerial data capture. At UMEX, the system demonstrated more than just flight; it demonstrated a workflow.

The aircraft performed a vertical takeoff using its electric VTOL motors before transitioning to fixed-wing flight. Once airborne, it flew the same route for three rounds, proving its consistency and unmanned control capabilities.

Cruising at an optimal speed of 17 m/s, it collected disaster mapping imagery using the Sony ILXLR1 payload – a 61 MP full-frame camera. The mission concluded as the unit returned to perform a vertical landing right at the launch point.

Key Specs & Features:

Flight Time & Coverage: At optimum altitude, it maps around 7 sq km per flight, with 90+ minutes of endurance.

Design: Robust construction designed for wind resistance—handling gusts up to 18 m/s —and high-frequency industrial use.

Integration Readiness: The flawless demo proved its reliability for immediate deployment in surveying, mining, public safety, and agricultural sectors.

DJI FlyCart 100 Redefining aerial logistics and heavy lift.

The sheer presence of the DJI FlyCart 100 drew crowds, but seeing it execute a complex heavy-lift mission redefined their expectations.

The demonstration began with the aircraft climbing to 20 meters and moving towards the payload pickup point. The winch cable extended smoothly while the aircraft held its position. Once the hook was attached and secured, the aircraft lifted the load gradually into the air. The pilot then manoeuvred the drone toward the drop zone, where the payload was lowered and released exactly at the marked position.

The session ended with the drone landing at the launch point. Every phase of the mission held up under scrutiny, and the demo’s success was evident in the crowd’s reaction.

Key Specs & Features:

Payload Capacity: Lists 85 kg max payload capacity with dual batteries, making it ideal for supply chain gaps.

Reliability: The system features an integrated parachute and a dedicated battery that maintains system functions if the main power cuts out.

Advanced Safety: Features intelligent obstacle sensing and ADS-B receiver for safe integration into the airspace.

The Verdict: Ready for Deployment

These live demonstrations were critical proof points. They confirmed that these complex systems are not just proof of concept, but are well-tested, reliable products ready for integration into client workflows today.

By partnering with the skilled operators at FEDS for the execution, TDC demonstrated the complete ecosystem required for success: top-tier technology backed by professional support and integration.

Both the Quantum Systems Trinity Pro and the DJI FlyCart 100 are available now through The Drone Centre, ready for deployment across the Middle East.
