Composite Airframes · UA / UK

Built for the frontline.

Composite airframes that turn structural mass into mission. Same battery, same motors — more range, more payload, more loiter time.

01 / The Challenge

Heavy-lift multirotors are limited by airframe weight. Every extra kilogram of structure trades against range, payload, and time on target.

Operators face a permanent compromise: give up range to carry payload, or give up payload to extend range. Airframe mass has been the ceiling on what each mission can do — until now.

02 / Our Solution

Lightweight composite airframes — the same battery, more mission.

Frontline NextGen designs and supplies lightweight composite airframes and powered airframes for high-performance drones — Baba Yaga / Vampire class heavy-lift quadcopters.

The reduced structural mass lowers the total weight that must be lifted across the entire mission. That energy goes back into range, loiter time, and payload — without changing the battery, the motors, or the flight controller.

Range vs. payload — measured & worst-case In production
10 kg payload reaches 18 km one-way and 36 km round-trip; 5 kg payload reaches 28–29 km one-way and 56–58 km round-trip. Worst-case dashed lines sit roughly 15 percent below measured values but remain operationally usable. 60 km 45 km 30 km 15 km 0 km 0 min 5 min 10 min 15 min 20 min 10 kg → 36 km 5 kg → 56–58 km
