Build capability
Drone Manufacturing
From frame to flight-ready aircraft — we design, assemble and test rotorcraft RPAS platforms built for the conditions our students and clients actually fly in.
Overview
Purpose-built platforms, assembled in-house.
Our manufacturing capability supports our own training fleet and extends to custom-built rotorcraft RPAS drones for agriculture, survey, inspection and specialised payload applications. Every airframe follows the same rotorcraft, RPAS, small-class specification our training programme is authorised to teach on.
This keeps design, assembly, training and after-sales support within a single, accountable organisation — so the aircraft a student trains on is one we understand down to the last component.

What we build
Rotorcraft platforms for real-world use.
Training Drones
Rugged, repairable airframes designed to survive a training environment, matched to the RPTO's approved equipment list.
Agricultural Platforms
Rotorcraft configured for crop monitoring, field assessment and precision agriculture applications.
Survey & Inspection Drones
Camera and sensor-ready builds for mapping, inspection and industrial data-acquisition missions.
Custom Payload Integration
Frame and mount modification to carry cameras, thermal sensors or other mission-specific equipment.
Simulator-Linked Builds
Aircraft configurations that mirror our RPA simulator setup for a consistent classroom-to-cockpit experience.
Assembly & Testing
Component sourcing, assembly, ground testing and flight-readiness checks before an aircraft is handed over.
Build process
How a drone comes together.
- 1
Requirement & Specification
Understanding the mission — training, survey, agriculture or a custom application — and defining the airframe class.
- 2
Component Sourcing
Selection of flight controllers, motors, propellers, batteries, navigation and communication systems.
- 3
Assembly
Frame build, wiring, and integration of the flight control and payload systems.
- 4
Ground & Flight Testing
Bench testing followed by supervised test flights before delivery.
- 5
Handover & Support
Documentation, operating guidance and access to our repair & servicing team for ongoing support.
