THE AIRCRAFT

One airframe.
A different kind of flight.

A twin-electric tailsitter combining vertical takeoff and fixed-wing flight. The foundation of our surveying and mapping platform in development.

02THE ARCHITECTURE

The whole aircraft
changes attitude.

No separate lift system. No rotating motor nacelles. A tailsitter uses the same propulsion across both flight regimes.

01 / AIRFRAME

Wing, body
and control surfaces.

A custom wing and central body, with control surfaces integrated into the airframe. Developed through CAD, analysis and physical iteration.

02 / PROPULSION

Twin electric.
One shared purpose.

Two electric motors provide propulsion during vertical and forward flight. Their relationship to the wing is central to the configuration.

03 / CONTROL

PX4 at
the flight-control core.

The original aircraft was developed around PX4. Flight testing connects the mechanical system with the actual control behaviour.

01 / VERTICAL TAKEOFF

A controlled vertical climb.

The aircraft starts on its tail and lifts vertically. The same twin-motor airframe will carry it into forward flight.

FROM PROTOTYPE TO PRODUCT

A surveying platform.
In development.

The prototype demonstrates the architecture in flight. Our next phase is a commercial aircraft for surveying and mapping, with a repeatable airframe, a measured operating envelope and a mission workflow developed with survey operators.

The aircraft specification supports mission planning; payload choice, operating conditions and the survey workflow guide each deployment.
