EN Multirotor flying platforms are very popular research subjects in the field of robotics. However, there are some major disadvantages for this type of vehicles, such as limited flight time, insufficient lifting capability and reduced range of operation. In this paper, the multirotor flying platform Falcon is presented. Its design is aimed to provide versatile, multipurpose research platform with high payload capabilities, maintaining compact dimensions and simple, reliable mechanical design. Presented platform was evaluated in various scenarios performing both autonomous and semi-autonomous flights.
