Flies when others can't

Persistent maritime ISR in harsh weather. A next-generation UAV and an autonomous landing system, built as one.

[ 01 / The gap ]

Built for the conditions that ground most drones.

ZEP-1 flies reliably up to Beaufort 7, enabling 86% of naval missions. Today's drones manage 30%.

[ 02 / Variable-skew quad plane ]

Multirotor agility, fixed-wing efficiency, in one airframe.

The wing rotates in flight. Skewed for hover, it reduces wind exposure by 50%. Deployed for cruise, it cuts drag by 25%.
