Custom drone solutions for a changing world

Not necessarily! As all our aircraft are specified for each application and then built to order, additional cost is often limited only to the cost of any specific additional equipment that needs to be included in the system. Inevitably, higher levels of customisation can incur higher costs, but this is not necessarily nearly as expensive as you might expect. We are happy to give cost estimates once we understand the requirements, and always supply detailed quotes once the details are agreed.

This will vary considerably depending on the nature of the project. We are able to produce anything from a custom sensor suite on a standard drone, to a fully bespoke aircraft designed from the ground up. Most custom projects start from a relatively standard frame, in which case around 6 – 8 weeks is normal, although this will vary depending on the work we are currently undertaking. We are happy to give a good indication of this when we start to discuss your project, and we are often able to expedite production if required.

All aspects of the system are considered from project feasibility to the legality of the operations. We start by looking at what the aircraft needs to achieve and work backwards, considering the nature and function of the payload, specific operational requirements of the application, circumstances and conditions of use,  performance requirements, weather and altitude resilience, transportability, deployment time, maintenance, ease of use and much more.

All and any industry that need drones can benefit. Anyone looking to push the limits of the technology, or requiring specific functionality that is difficult to achieve with ‘off the shelf’ aircraft can benefit from a custom solution. Our job is to ensure the aircraft will best meet the specific criteria of what you need to achieve, and we always take time to explain any limitations you may face, or any compromises that may need to be made, given the current state of drone technology. It is very important to us that anyone considering new or unusual projects enter them with their eyes wide open, ready for any issues they may face, and we are here to help every step of the way.
