Ceres Air Black Betty Stacked — Heavy-Lift Drone for Spraying, Spreading & Cargo

The Ceres Air Black Betty Stacked is a next-level heavy-lift platform engineered to move more, cover more, and do more. With up to 397 lb (180 kg) lift capacity, a 40 gal (151 L) spray tank, and quick-change payload capability, it’s designed for high-demand operations—spraying, spreading, and cargo transport. A layered safety system using next-generation LiDAR + 360° millimeter-wave radar delivers comprehensive environmental awareness for confident, precise operation in complex terrain.

Why Black Betty Stacked stands out

A major leap in lift and efficiency

Black Betty Stacked sets a new benchmark with up to 397 lb (180 kg) lift capacity, enabling higher payload capability and greater operational flexibility across multiple mission types.

One platform, multiple missions

A detachable payload module lets you transition from spraying to spreading quickly with minimal effort—reducing downtime and keeping your operation moving.

Advanced perception for real-world environments

Black Betty Stacked is equipped with a multi-sensor safety stack for accurate obstacle detection and environmental awareness:

• Next-generation LiDAR

• 360° millimeter-wave radar

• Rear-facing radar
  This combination supports precise obstacle detection and confident flight planning in challenging spaces.

Spraying system highlights

High-capacity tank + high-flow output

• Spray tank: 40 gal (151 L)

• Flow rate: 11 GPM (41.6 L/min)
  Built to go bigger and go farther—suited for everything from broad-acre work to more complex specialty applications.

Four centrifugal nozzles for coverage and penetration

Equipped with four atomizing centrifugal nozzles, Black Betty Stacked is designed for:

• Wide, uniform spray coverage

• Strong downwash for consistent distribution

• Enhanced canopy penetration and leaf coverage

• Efficient operation at higher working speeds

Dual-atomization droplet control

• Droplet size range: 2–20 mil (50–500 microns / μm)
  This range supports compatibility with most agricultural spraying requirements.

Magnetic-drive impeller pumps (durability-focused)

Corrosion-resistant pump architecture and expanded chamber volume support higher-flow demands—especially useful in orchard-style applications.

Dual electromagnetic flow meters (precision control)

Real-time, high-accuracy monitoring with a non-contact design that reduces liquid exposure—helping limit corrosion and improve long-term reliability.

Rear four-nozzle array

Expands spray width while maintaining uniform coverage, reducing mist interference and improving overall operational consistency.

Airframe & performance (manufacturer-stated)

Coaxial dual-rotor structure

A coaxial dual-rotor design supports stable heavy-lift performance and responsive control.
