Total addressable market across helicopter logistics and sales — growing at 4.5% CAGR annually.

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.
