Composite airframes that buy more mission, not new motors.

Ultra-lightweight composite airframes that increase range, payload capacity, and loiter time for heavy-lift quadcopters — without requiring changes to batteries or motors.

The Challenge

Heavy-lift multirotors are limited by airframe weight.

Every extra kilogram of structure reduces available energy for distance, payload, and flight time, forcing operators to trade range for payload or vice versa.

Status quo

Stock heavy-lift airframe. Range and payload are fixed by structural mass. Operators are forced to give up one to get the other.

With a Frontline NextGen airframe

Lower structural mass releases battery energy back to the mission. Same battery, same motors, more range, more payload, more loiter — verified end-to-end.

Our Solution

Composite airframes engineered around the energy budget.

Frontline NextGen designs and supplies lightweight composite airframes and powered airframes for high-performance drones.

The reduced structural mass lowers the total weight that must be lifted throughout the mission, increasing available battery energy for range, loiter time, and payload.

Programmes today are running on Baba Yaga / Vampire-class platforms, validated against real round-trip mission profiles — not bench numbers.

Proven Performance

Full round-trip missions, measured against worst-case.

Tested with a 2×6S battery configuration, 5.0 kg total battery mass. Solid lines are measured; dashed lines are conservative worst-case (wind, temperature, safety margins) that remain operationally usable.

Range vs. payload

Measured · 10 kg Measured · 5 kg Worst-case
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 round-trip 5 kg → 56–58 km round-trip

Additional Strengths

Why operators come back.

Protected IP portfolio

Composite layup, geometry, and process IP secured before disclosure.

London engineering + UKR workshop

UK engineering support paired with a Ukrainian production workshop close to the operator.

Direct frontline feedback

Iteration loops driven by the units actually flying these airframes.

Who We Serve

Two audiences, one platform.

Manufacturers

Ukrainian manufacturers of high-performance quadcopters, multirotors, and heavy bomber drones — looking for component-level airframe gains without re-engineering propulsion.

Military units

Ukrainian military units seeking component-level performance upgrades to fielded heavy-lift platforms.
