About
Who We Are
A Development Partner, Not Just a Manufacturer
Founded in 2013, Flyt Aerospace is a U.S.-based UAV design and development company supporting government, defense, and advanced commercial programs.
We operate as a subcontractor and technical development partner, integrating directly with government teams, primes, and research organizations. Our focus is helping customers move quickly—whether that means proving a new concept, iterating through multiple prototypes, or preparing a design for scaled production.
Our work often spans non-traditional and emerging mission areas, where off-the-shelf solutions fall short and timelines are tight.
“From prototype to production—without starting over.”
Our Approach
What Makes Flyt Different
Designed for Speed, Built for Scale
Rapid Customization
Mission-specific UAV configurations without redesigning from scratch. Airframe size, payload capacity, endurance, and interfaces can be adjusted quickly to meet evolving requirements.
Scalable by Design
Our platforms are architected from day one to support low-rate initial production and rapid ramp-up, avoiding the common trap of prototypes that cannot scale.
Compact & Deployable
Many of our systems emphasize folding and compact form factors, reducing logistics burden and enabling rapid deployment in the field.
Cost-Conscious Engineering
We design with manufacturing efficiency and component availability in mind to meet aggressive cost targets at scale.
Featured System
Defender 2
Fiber-Controlled UAV for Contested Environments
Defender 2 is a mission-focused UAV designed for operations where RF denial, jamming, or interception are expected. Using a one-way fiber optic command and control link, Defender 2 enables secure, unjammable operation while maintaining a compact, cost-controlled form factor suitable for expendable or one-way missions.
