Unique Custom Drone Builds for Unusual Projects

We've been in the industry long enough to remember when drones weren’t available off the shelf. They had to be built from the ground up, carefully engineered for each specific use. While this era of drone building is often overlooked today, our expertise in custom drone construction remains as strong as ever.

Whether your project requires a highly specialised drone for a unique purpose, an unconventional payload, or a completely bespoke design, we have the knowledge and experience to bring your vision to life in the safest and most effective way possible.

Why Choose a Custom Build?

Not every project can rely on an off-the-shelf drone. We’ve created bespoke drones for marketing campaigns, product launches, TV commercials, and even some of the most unusual aerial stunts. Whether it's making a paper pig fly, developing drones for target practice, or designing banner-carrying aerial displays, we thrive on bringing bold ideas to the sky.

When a standard drone is too expensive to risk or simply can't meet the payload requirements, we work alongside your creative team to develop a custom-built drone that meets your exact needs.

How It Works

Once a project is agreed upon, we can typically have a working concept drone in the air within 24 hours of receiving the necessary components. Our builds prioritise safety, ensuring that both the public and production team remain protected, no matter how ambitious or unconventional your concept may be.

We collaborate closely with you throughout the process, from design and prototyping to final testing and deployment, ensuring the drone performs exactly as required for your project.

FAQs

What is the heaviest drone you can build?: To comply with PDRA-01 regulations, we can build drones with a maximum takeoff mass of 25kg.
Can you build a drone that drops objects?: Dropping items from a drone requires special authorisation from the CAA. We can build a system for this purpose, but the necessary permissions must be obtained first.
What support do you offer with your custom drones?: We provide full hardware support up to and including the final handover flight. After that, we offer additional consultancy and maintenance services if required.
How long does it take to build a custom drone?: Basic drones can be operational within 24 hours, while more complex builds may take up to a week depending on design and functionality.
Can you build a drone for deliveries?: There are already excellent off-the-shelf delivery drones available. If an existing solution meets your needs, we will always advise on the best options before proceeding with a custom build.
