Inside the node & on the bench
Micro-factory walkthrough
Assembly - start to flight-ready
Assembly
From EPP block to flight-ready
01
Hot-wire EPP cut
The airfoil is cut from expanded polypropylene on a hot-wire foam cutter - the single most localizable, cost-defining part.
02
Wing build
Spars, control surfaces and hardpoints assembled; antennas routed inside the radio-transparent structure.
03
Powertrain & electronics
Dual-motor powertrain, flight controller, link and payload integrated and bench-tested.
04
Pack-out & field kit
Aircraft, ground control and batteries packed into a rugged case - box to air in under five minutes.
Localized. Codified. Scalable.
High local content is the argument for codification and state procurement - and the foundation of a low, defensible cost structure.
