High-performance UAV systems

From vertical take-off to autonomous flight, next-generation platforms developed for your mission.

01/06 Flagship · VT-1 · Take-off

Vertical take-off

No runway needed. VT-1 stands on its tail, spins up its propellers and climbs straight into the sky.

Vertical take-off and landing

02/06 Flagship · VT-1 · Transition

Transition

Once airborne it tips its nose to the horizon and flies on as a fixed-wing aircraft, carried by its wing.

About us

The HAWX team

HAWX Aerospace consists of experienced engineers and technicians who have served in the aerospace industry and civil aviation. Named after the hawk, one of our national birds of prey, the HAWX team came together in early 2023 to make a difference in aviation and aerospace and to be a representative of innovation. We work actively on fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle systems, rotary-wing drones and autonomous flight software, with a primary focus on vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) platforms.

Our mission

To offer users small and medium-class unmanned aerial vehicle systems that best meet their expectations, through the technologies we develop.

Our vision

To be a representative of innovative solutions in aviation and aerospace, with modern unmanned aerial vehicle systems that bring current technologies and rational designs together with new-generation manufacturing methods.

Solutions

Aerial solutions for problems on the ground

We produce UAV platforms designed for a wide range of civil aviation applications, accessible and customizable to each customer's needs. With our fixed-wing, rotary-wing and VTOL range, we deliver the right solution for even the most demanding work. For businesses developing their own systems, our engineers provide design and software consultancy.

  • Comprehensive project development

    A long-term process that takes draft sketches all the way to the final prototype flight: conceptual, preliminary and detailed design, flight software, ground station design, prototyping and flight testing. We apply phased costing and a consistent timeline based on the system's requirements. At the end of the project we provide all engineering reports, checklists, user and maintenance manuals, pilot training and technical support.

  • Flight software

    For avionics and flight software, our engineers design, test in simulation and in the field, and prepare precise flight control systems for rotary-wing drones, fixed-wing UAVs and VTOL platforms, ready to fly and built to your requirements. We also install your sensor systems and flight computers, so your platforms are ready for their missions.

  • Design optimization

    We optimize the design of the aerial vehicle you are producing or already own to improve its aerodynamic performance, reducing energy use and increasing flight time and range. This may mean fundamental changes to the fuselage, wings, tail or structure, or active and passive add-ons that boost performance without permanently changing the core design.

  • Designing parts

    We turn simple sketches of the parts you need into detailed 3D models, prepare them in your preferred format and produce them at the desired scale on 3D printers. On request we also remove layer lines and other surface imperfections, delivering smooth, uniform parts in the colour and finish you ask for.

  • Investments and partnerships

    You can become an investor in any project developed within HAWX Aerospace, or contact us to explore other ways of working together. As a representative of innovation in aerospace, we support investors, companies, start-ups and community groups taking their first steps in these fields. For sponsorship, consulting or investment, write to us through the contact page.

  • Maintenance and repair

    Our technical team provides a full range of services for every system we deliver: general cleaning, structural and engine maintenance, periodic servicing by flight hours, post-crash repair, spare parts and software updates. Each system comes with a comprehensive maintenance manual. We also maintain and repair third-party unmanned aerial vehicles not designed by us.
