Vira drones
Autonomous heavy-lift platforms that go where helicopters can't —
built for logistics, rescue, and mission-critical operations.
Vira Drones builds autonomous heavy-lift platforms designed to replace helicopters in logistics, rescue, and industrial operations. Where roads end and helicopter costs spiral past $3,500/hour, our drones carry up to 1,000 kg of payload across 320 km at 150 kph — fully unmanned, in any weather.
Founded by aerospace and helicopter engineers with 8 registered intellectual properties — including our patented 3D airflow rotor system and dual-secured hybrid powerplant — we deliver helicopter-level capability at a fraction of the operating cost. Our platforms are purpose-built for offshore facilities, roadless terrain, bridgeless crossings, and rapid-response rescue missions.
Short term vision — FPV drones
Fast, agile, and purpose-built for precision operations.
Our near-term roadmap focuses on deploying a fleet of high-speed FPV drones, interceptors, and compact electrical systems tailored for precision agriculture, surveillance, and rapid-response missions. FPV platforms deliver real-time control at speeds and angles no conventional drone can match, while our interceptor line is engineered for counter-drone and security applications. Electrical variants round out the lineup with silent, zero-emission flight for sensitive environments.
Long term vision
Scaling to advanced hybrid platforms supporting an incredible 200–1000kg payload for heavy-lift industrial applications across various sectors.
