A large part of our story goes back to 2015, when we first formulated our vision of a compound aircraft configuration. Multiple aircraft connected at their wingtips can achieve long-endurance and high payloads compared to individual aircraft configuration.
​
In the last decade, we have built several prototypes, performed simulations and flight tests and brought the new aircraft design closer to where we want it to be: flying as a communication and observation platform up in the air.
