01Design
Airframe geometry
The prototype’s custom airframe is the starting point for our surveying and mapping platform.
OUR ENGINEERING APPROACH
Build. Fly. Understand.
Build better.
The airframe, flight software and mission workflow need to work together. Our next development phase applies that engineering focus to surveying and mapping.
AERODYNAMICS / PRESSURE
GEOMETRY / SURFACE MESH01THE WORK BEHIND THE FLIGHT
Engineering is
a complete loop.
The original programme already brought design, analysis, machining, assembly and flight testing together.
0102Analyse
Mesh & flow studies
Aerodynamic analysis alongside practical modelling and iteration.
03Manufacture
CAD to CAM to hardware
Machining, fabrication and hands-on assembly by the team.
04Fly
The test that matters
Prototype flight testing informs the next airframe and its intended surveying and mapping missions.

04OUR NEXT DEVELOPMENT PHASE
Test the model.
Then test it against reality.
Our simulation direction starts with the aircraft we actually built, not a generic drone model.
MEASUREMODELSIMULATEFLYREFINE
An aircraft-specific model.
Mass properties, propulsion response, control surfaces and aerodynamic behaviour. The goal is a model calibrated against measurements from the real aircraft.
Software in the loop.
Our direction is to connect the model with PX4, evaluate control behaviour and repeat the same scenario under different conditions.
Trust that is measured.
Compare simulated results with separate physical tests. Document where the model is useful and where more testing is needed.
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTION — NOT A CLAIM OF A COMPLETED SIMULATION PRODUCT.
THE COMMERCIAL PLATFORM
Engineering for
surveying and mapping.
Our commercial focus is an autonomous aircraft platform for surveying and mapping. We are developing simulation, repeatable testing and flight software to support that next airframe.
We want to work with survey teams to define mission planning, field operation and the data they need from each flight. Those requirements will guide the platform’s development and validation.
