This accolade recognizes Emeth\u2019s exceptional design and technological innovations, setting new benchmarks for the drone industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-6\">\n      <div>\n        <p><span data-teams=\"true\">Emeth\u2019s unique combination of advanced materials, cutting-edge safety systems, and rethinking of drone functionality highlights its leadership in shaping the future of aerial technology.<\/span><\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n      <div class=\"col-6\">\n      <div>\n        <p><span data-teams=\"true\"><strong>Emeth<\/strong> is a concept drone developed by <strong>SAES Design House<\/strong>, incorporating exclusively proprietary components and technologies. These innovations, originally designed by SAES for other industries, have been re-engineered to fit an ultralight quadcopter, demonstrating their advantages in performance and technology for both the consumer and professional drone markets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Patented Nitinol-Based Airbags<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">Emeth\u2019s standout feature is its patented <strong>airbag system<\/strong> based on <strong>Nitinol<\/strong>, powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saesgetters.com\/industrial-shape-memory-alloys\/\"><strong>Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)<\/strong><\/a> technology, which replaces traditional single-use pyrotechnic systems. Designed to deploy in under 40 milliseconds, this groundbreaking system provides rapid protection during emergencies, such as collisions or water landings. Unlike conventional airbags, Emeth\u2019s system is <strong>reusable<\/strong>, <strong>lightweight<\/strong>, and can be <strong>activated either autonomously via proximity sensors or manually via remote control<\/strong>. With patents secured across Europe, the United States, Japan, and China, Emeth showcases how SMA technology can enhance products where minimizing weight and volume is critical.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Next-Generation SMA Camera Stabilization System<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Emeth introduces a revolutionary approach to <strong>camera stabilization<\/strong> by replacing traditional gimbals with a Nitinol-based stabilizer. This compact, lightweight system delivers smooth, professional-grade footage while drastically reducing the camera\u2019s size and weight. Originally developed by SAES for mobile phone applications, this solution is ideal for next-generation ultra-compact cameras, where reduced dimensions do not compromise image quality.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-6\">\n      <div>\n        <p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Emeth video presentation\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v_Laeews2C0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"container align-items-center\">\n    <div class=\"col-6 order-md-2\">\n    <h3><strong>AM for Functions Aggregation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\"><strong>SAES Design House<\/strong> has delved into <strong>additive manufacturing (AM)<\/strong> for polymers and, more recently, metals, specifically special alloys. The aim is to create <strong>monomaterial<\/strong>, <strong>monocoque systems<\/strong> with variable functions. During prototype production for a research project for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bipod.it\/\">B!POD<\/a> brand<\/strong>, SAES experimented with <strong>Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF)<\/strong> technology using thin aluminum-magnesium alloys. They found that, depending on geometry, mechanical performance could surpass that of carbon fiber at the same weight, offering greater formal freedom. Using AM, they designed a monocoque drone that integrates multiple functionalities, such as <strong>thermal dissipation<\/strong> and the containment chamber for the airbag system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Transparent Design: An Homage to the Hi-Tech Movement<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">Emeth\u2019s <strong>transparent protective dome<\/strong>, inspired by aeronautics, serves not only to protect the internal components but also as a mounting plane for a flexible electronic circuit managing <strong>70% of the drone\u2019s circuitry<\/strong>. Emeth consolidates <strong>SAES\u2019s design language<\/strong>, established with the 2020 <strong>Nebula project<\/strong>, a design philosophy grounded in <strong>materials innovation<\/strong> to reinvent products and systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Emeth: Setting Procedure Standards for the Drone Industry<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">By combining advanced materials with a <strong>\u201crethinking everything\u201d<\/strong> approach, Emeth explores the potential for establishing <strong>safety standards<\/strong> within the drone industry. From logistics to filmmaking, racing to emergency response, Emeth addresses critical safety concerns while delivering superior performance and durability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Discover What\u2019s Next in Drone Technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">At <strong>SAES Design House<\/strong>, we believe that the future of products lies in our philosophy:
