About Us

We want to use unmanned aviation to make our world a better place.

Every day, aircraft fly thousands of miles transporting time-critical goods, surveying pipelines, monitoring waterways, inspecting crops, tracking livestock and recording environmental data.

But aviation has a problem. It takes a huge amount of fuel to fly a person safely. It’s expensive, damaging to the environment, and ultimately unsustainable. And yet demand continues to grow.

At Flylogix, we’re pioneering new ways for aviation that bring together artificial intelligence, satellite communication and low-cost electronics to develop a new generation of smaller, more efficient, unmanned aircraft (UAVs).  

UAVs transform remote operations, dramatically reducing carbon emissions, improving safety and enabling new cost-effective services. We are the future of flight.

Our Ethos

What we do and how we do it

Always Pioneering

Stretching the possible, our pioneering team propel next-gen tech and advanced engineering to make UAV operations a reality anywhere in the world, delivering critical near-real time data at a breakthrough cost.

Tested and Tough

Pushing to the outer limits by continuously and rigorously testing our pioneering craft and systems to safely operate in the toughest conditions for the most exacting partners - no matter what.

Lightest Footprint

Not costing the Earth, our pioneering small UAV craft have a low carbon footprint, making it possible to routinely fly to and from the most remote locations with the least impact to the environment, human risk and budget.

Meet the Team

Pioneers in action
