What we build

Six airframes, each answering a different question

These are the configurations we design and assemble. None of them is a fixed product you order from a shelf — each is a starting geometry that gets sized around your payload and your flight profile.

How to read this

A platform is a shape, not a model number

Manufacturers sell you an aircraft and then ask what you will do with it. We work the other way. The six entries below describe families — a set of design decisions about lift, endurance and where the payload sits — and the specific machine falls out of your requirement.

The lines marked class, profile and control are deliberately qualitative. Real figures depend on the payload you choose, the altitude you fly at and the weather you accept, and any number quoted before those are known is marketing rather than engineering.

Rotary

When it has to hover

Multirotors trade endurance for precision. Everything that works slowly, close to a surface, or has to stop and look lives here.

FGA-01

Spray Multirotor

A heavy-lift rotorcraft built around a tank, pump and boom. The airframe is sized so a full tank is not the edge of its envelope, because the last pass of the day should fly like the first. Rotor placement and boom geometry are set to keep the spray pattern predictable in ground effect.Class: heavy lift · Profile: low, slow, gridded · Control: waypoint with operator override
FGA-03

Inspection Compact

Small and stiff, built to hold a position close to a structure while the air around it is doing something unhelpful. Short arms, high control authority, and a gimbal mount that does not fight the airframe. Designed to be flown manually by someone looking at a screen.Class: light · Profile: station and approach · Control: manual with stabilisation
FGA-04

Tethered Observer

Ground-powered through a tether, so endurance stops being a battery question and becomes a shift question. Used for events, incident overwatch and fixed perimeter work where the aircraft needs to sit in one piece of sky for a long time.Class: medium · Profile: fixed station · Control: automated hold
FGA-06

Indoor Rotorcraft

Ducted, guarded and built for places with no sky — warehouse aisles, plant rooms, tank interiors. Navigation does not rely on satellites, and every exposed rotor is caged because it will meet a wall eventually.Class: sub-light · Profile: confined space · Control: assisted manual

Wing

When it has to cover ground

A wing carries itself. The moment the job becomes distance rather than detail, rotors stop being the efficient answer.

02

VTOL Survey Wing

Vertical take-off, then transition to wing-borne cruise. No runway, no catapult, and long transects on a fraction of the energy a multirotor would burn.

05

Patrol Wing

A longer-range variant for linear work — pipelines, corridors, coastline — where the aircraft flies out, follows a line and comes back.

The trade

A wing cannot stop. If the job needs the aircraft to pause and look closely at something, this is the wrong family.

The mount

Sensor bays sit in the fuselage with a fixed downward view, sized for mapping and multispectral heads rather than a moving gimbal.

Common architecture

What every airframe shares

The families differ in shape. Underneath, they are built the same way, because that is what makes them serviceable by someone who is not us.

  • Standard fasteners and tools — no proprietary keys
  • Accessible bays for battery, avionics and payload
  • Labelled, documented wiring looms
  • Arms and legs replaceable as units in the field
  • Open payload mount so sensors can change later
  • Component and revision log tied to the serial
How we build them

Payload bays

What goes underneath

The mount is deliberately generic. A payload you buy in two years should fit an airframe you bought today.

PL-A

Optical

Gimballed visible-light heads for inspection and observation, with zoom where the work needs standoff.

PL-B

Thermal

Infrared for hot joints, dead solar strings, livestock at dusk and search work in poor light.

PL-C

Multispectral

Banded imaging for crop stress, canopy health and vegetation survey on a repeatable flight path.

PL-D

Mapping

Survey cameras and positioning gear for orthophoto, topographic and volumetric output.

PL-E

Liquid

Tank, pump and boom assemblies sized to the airframe, with nozzle sets chosen for the application.

PL-F

Granular

Hopper and spreader units for fertiliser, seed and beneficial release across open ground.

PL-G

Lighting

Work and beacon lighting for night inspection and for making the aircraft obvious to people below.

PL-H

Custom

Sampling heads, release mechanisms, relay gear — if it has a mass and a mounting point, it can be designed in.

Made to order

When none of the six is right

Roughly a third of what leaves the shop does not match a family cleanly. That is normal and it is not an upcharge conversation.

Start from the payload

  • Mass, dimensions and power draw
  • Where it has to point and how steadily
  • Whether it changes weight in flight
  • What it does to the aircraft's balance

Then the profile

  • Area covered per sortie
  • Height, speed and how close to obstacles
  • Turnaround expected between flights
  • Conditions it must still be usable in

Then the airframe

  • Lift architecture and rotor or wing sizing
  • Power system and thermal management
  • Structure, materials and failure behaviour
  • Service access for the parts that wear

Questions

About the platforms

What operators ask before committing to a family.

Ask Directly
Because they are meaningless until the payload and conditions are fixed. The same airframe flies very differently with a camera than with a half-full tank, and a figure quoted in still air at sea level tells you nothing about a windy slope. We give real numbers once your requirement is defined, in writing, against your configuration.
Usually yes, if you are integrating your own payload and have the engineering to do it. We will tell you where the mount limits are and what we will not warrant once you modify it.
Wherever a good one exists. Motors, controllers and radios come from established suppliers, because a proprietary part you can only buy from us is a liability for you, not a feature. We design the structure, the integration and the layout.
We hold the build record against your serial, so we can identify an equivalent and tell you what changes. Where a substitution alters behaviour, we say so rather than swapping it quietly.
Within a family, often. Between families, rarely — a spray airframe will not become a survey wing. That is why the first conversation is about the whole set of jobs you expect to fly, not just the first one.

Bring us the payload and the profile

We will tell you which family fits, what the trade-offs are, and where an off-the-shelf aircraft would serve you better than anything we would build.
