01THE AIRCRAFT

A different way
to get off the ground.

For surveying and mapping teams.
A platform designed to operate without a runway.

TAILSITTER / CAD RENDERTWIN ELECTRIC / PX4
ONE AIRFRAME. TWO REGIMES.

No runway.
No tilt mechanism.

Our tailsitter takes off and lands vertically, then transitions into fixed-wing flight. The wing, motors and airframe work together across both regimes.

Built and flown by our founding team, this prototype is the foundation for a commercial surveying and mapping platform.

02FLIGHT TESTING

Vertical lift.
Forward flight.

Four phases. One aircraft.
Selected from our prototype test flights.

MVI_1150 · 00:07–00:14
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.

The test that matters

Prototype flight testing informs the next airframe and its intended surveying and mapping missions.

04THE NEXT DEVELOPMENT LOOP

From flight data
to better aircraft.

Our next development phase will connect measured flight data with aircraft-specific simulation and repeatable testing, informing each iteration before it returns to the field.
