AURORA Prime is an autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that is set to revolutionize the way we think about drones. AURORA is the acronym for “Autonomous Unmanned Roam Over-Range Aircraft”. The standout feature of AURORA Prime, a fixed-wing hybrid VTOL design, is its impressive range and maneuverability. Unlike traditional drones that are limited by their fixed-wing or multi-rotor / quadcopter design, AURORA Prime combines the best of both worlds – it can take off and land vertically like a multi-rotor / quadcopter, hover in mid-air, and then switch to forward flight mode like a fixed-wing drone. This unique design allows for seamless transitions between different flight modes, giving you unparalleled control over your aerial missions.
Clean Energy
Powered by electric propulsion and energy storage system that enables zero emission flights. Additionally, the design is highly efficient compared to other fixed-wing hybrid VTOL drone designs.
Redundant Architecture
Redundancy in maneuverability using control surfaces at the trailing edge of wings / winglets and coaxial contra-rotating rotors.
Exceptional Safety
Equipped with collision avoidance system and controlled parachute landing for the worst case scenario.
Revolutionizing Aerial Exploration
Welcome to the future of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – AURORA Prime Drones! Our cutting-edge drone design combines state-of-the-art technology with innovative features to provide an unparalleled aerial exploration experience. With its range, maneuverability, and vertical takeoff and landing capability, the AURORA Prime drone is set to revolutionize the way we explore and interact with our surroundings.
Whether you need to cover long distances or navigate through tight spaces, AURORA Prime has got you covered. Its advanced propulsion system and aerodynamic design ensure smooth and efficient flight, while its intelligent obstacle avoidance system keeps you safe from any potential hazards. With its VTOL and hovering capability, AURORA Prime takes off and lands vertically, eliminating the need for runways or landing strips. This means you can operate AURORA Prime in diverse terrains and environments, expanding the horizons of your aerial endeavors.
Imagine soaring through the sky with effortless grace, as the AURORA Prime drone effortlessly takes flight. Its autonomous capabilities ensure a smooth and seamless flying experience, allowing you to focus on capturing stunning aerial footage or conducting important surveillance missions. Thanks to its vertical takeoff and landing capability, the AURORA Prime drone can access even the most remote locations, opening up a world of possibilities for exploration, delivery and data collection. Whether you’re delivering goods / packages to remote locations, surveying rugged terrains or inspecting hard-to-reach infrastructure, the AURORA Prime drone is your reliable companion. In the delivery of goods / packages, this UAV is not only capable for the last mile delivery, but also the last 50 to 100 mile delivery.
But that’s not all. AURORA Prime also has the ability to hover in mid-air, thanks to its advanced stabilization system. This allows for precise and stable data collection, making it an ideal tool for aerial mapping, inspection, and surveillance. Additionally, the hovering capabilities allows for drone delivery, using Parachute, Cable or Droid / Pod. With AURORA Prime, the possibilities are endless.
Our commitment to innovation extends beyond the development of our drone. We are continuously working on enhancing its capabilities and exploring new applications. AURORA Prime is not just a product; it is a platform for endless possibilities.

Our Plans
- We are currently developing a droid / pod based capability, so that the drone will hover at a certain height and lower the droid / pod to deliver the contents through a window or rooftop, without disturbing the neighborhood.
- With regards to size, we plan to develop drones in three categories: Small, Medium and Large.
- Our smallest drone will be able carry a minimum of 5 kg (11 lbs) payload to 50 km (30.5 miles) range, with a ceiling of 6,000 m (19,685 ft) and hover at a suitable height.
- Our largest drone will be nearly the size of a small aircraft. Imagine a drone carrying few tonnes of freight load, hovering / landing in a remote place 1000 km away. Effectively, it should carry a minimum of 1000 kg (2205 lbs) payload to 1000 km (621.37 miles) range or 2000 km in a stretch (landing and recharging), with a ceiling of 10,000 m (32,808 ft) and can hover at a suitable height.
- The development of the largest drone will provide us smooth transition from drones to aircrafts, down the lane. Learn more about FlyBuzz (button link below), the mass transportation variant of AURORA Prime:
