Start from the mission, not a part number. Each profile maps to the right HITBIRD airframe and its full performance envelope.

Step 1 — Choose mission

ISR / SAR / GEO Maximum endurance & reach Persistent surveillance at maximum endurance and range. View platforms → Tactical / Defense Fast, responsive, shorter reach Fast, short-range response from a compact airframe. View platforms → Heavy / Multi-Sensor Payload Maximum payload capacity High payload for multiple sensors or a heavy effector. View platforms →

Aluminium airframe Why the HITBIRD is based on an aluminum chassis. Many sensor integrable, no mould lock-in. Each HITBIRD airframe consists of a single, all-metal structure made from aerospace-grade aluminum (EN AW 2024), cut directly from the 3D model using a CNC laser. The digital design serves as the manufacturing file: there is no mold making, no templates, and no manual steps where errors might creep in. This enables fully scalable serial production at minimal cost and allows the same basic structure to be used for models ranging from the HD.300 to the HB.1050. The EN AW 2024 alloy offers an aerospace-proven strength-to-weight ratio and high fatigue resistance. It withstands real-world loads without adding unnecessary weight and behaves predictably because it is cut rather than cast. The airframe features an open design with a replaceable outer skin and a modular structure: the interior is accessible, payloads can be bolted on directly, and damaged panels can be inspected, replaced, or re-cut—eliminating the risk of a total airframe loss. Creating a new model variant requires only a new cutting file, not new molds, jigs, or assembly fixtures. Regardless of the mission—whether reconnaissance, defense, or active engagement—the same laser-cut EN AW 2024 airframe can be flexibly adapted to specific sensors and requirements. No new tooling or closed geometries are required.
