40-gallon liquid system
The tank and high-flow application system are designed for agricultural spraying. Confirm the pump and nozzle setup against your intended application rate and acreage.
C40.
Capacity with purpose.
A Ceres Air agricultural platform for spraying, spreading, and configured lifting work. Explore the aircraft, understand the equipment, and build your next step with AerSol.

Manufacturer-listed figures describe capabilities under the relevant configuration and conditions. Actual output depends on application rate, payload, field layout, weather, battery management, and ground support.
YOUR OPERATION FIRSTOne platform.
One platform.
Several ways to work.
Start with what your land and operation need. The C40 pairs a high-capacity aircraft with detachable payload equipment so you can explore liquid application, dry-material spreading, or a lifting setup.
AerSol helps you compare the aircraft, modules, charging, field logistics, and support as one working system. A product inquiry is the beginning of a conversation, not a payment or a commitment to purchase.

to work in the field.
Four-nozzle coverage
A rear array of four atomizing centrifugal nozzles supports a broad application pattern. Ceres describes the arrangement as supporting canopy penetration, leaf coverage, and reduced mist interference.
Dual atomization
Centrifugal atomization provides a manufacturer-listed droplet range of 2–20 mils. Select settings around the application and product requirements rather than assuming one setup suits every field.
Magnetic-drive pumps
Corrosion-resistant impeller construction and an expanded pump chamber are intended to support demanding, high-flow application work, including orchard use.
Flow feedback
Two electromagnetic flow meters provide live monitoring for application control. Ceres describes non-contact sensing intended to limit exposure and corrosion.
Detachable payload module
The modular arrangement supports a change from spraying to spreading. Ceres lists a maximum spreading rate of 551 lb/min; confirm the material, module, and operating setup.
Spray-flow configuration needs confirmation.
Ceres’ page lists up to 18 gal/min in its headline specifications and an 11 GPM pump in its feature description. Ask AerSol to confirm the exact pump/nozzle configuration and applicable flow figure in your package proposal.
A layered view.
A powerful airframe.
Coaxial dual rotors combine eight propellers across four axes. Ceres lists 375 lb maximum thrust per axis and a maximum speed of 66 ft/s. These are platform limits, not recommended application settings.
LiDAR and radar
The sensing system combines LiDAR, 360° millimeter-wave radar, and rear-facing radar for environmental awareness and obstacle detection. Ceres lists LiDAR sampling at up to 300,000 points per second.
FPV perspective
The listed camera field of view is horizontal ±45° and vertical ±85°. Maximum image transmission is listed at 2 km; usable range depends on conditions and the approved operating plan.
Carbon-fiber propellers
70-inch propellers use a large-diameter airfoil and carbon-fiber construction for stiffness and thermal stability.
Motors and speed controllers
Ceres lists high-torque motors at 187 lb maximum thrust each, paired with 350 A electronic speed controllers.
Protection features
The manufacturer lists emergency shutdown protection and low-battery behavior among the platform’s safety features. Review the supplied operating documentation and procedures with the team.
Application airflow
The rotor layout is intended to provide strong downdraft and a wide spray swath. Coverage and distribution still depend on the field, weather, setup, and application settings.
More ways
to move a load.
Discuss the lifting module, load characteristics, route, and operating requirements with AerSol before planning cargo work.
Balance control
A triaxial force sensor supports automatic attitude correction intended to reduce load swing during flight.
Live weight monitoring
The lifting system uses force-sensor feedback to monitor the load and support overload management.
Loading and unloading points
Ceres describes an automatic-flight workflow in which the operator defines loading and unloading points and commands navigation between them.
Lifting rating and cable
The specification table lists 396 lb lifting payload and a standard 15 m cable. Descriptive copy rounds the lift figure to 397 lb; confirm the applicable rated load and configuration.
The aircraft is one part.
The working system matters.
Controller
Ceres describes a 6-inch high-brightness display, backlit/customizable buttons, and an internal battery plus two external batteries. It advertises a 25% brightness increase and approximately seven hours of use. The page references both HD402 and RC8P; confirm the controller supplied.
Intelligent flight battery
The manufacturer describes a Dual 18S2565Wh battery platform with 38 Ah capacity, 140 A charging current, a listed weight of 37 lb, and triple air-channel cooling for heat management. Its page states 1,500 charge cycles under warranty; confirm the applicable warranty terms before purchase.
12,000-watt supercharger
The 18S12000W intelligent supercharger is described with three-phase 380 V input and adaptive power protection. The overview also lists AC 100–240 V / 380 V charger input; your supplied charger and available power source need to be matched explicitly.
Two charging windows are published.
The overview lists approximately 8 minutes from 30% to 95%; the battery section lists approximately 10 minutes from 25% to 95%. These start at different charge levels. Confirm compatible charging equipment, supply power, battery temperature, and operating conditions.
