Aircraft

Being restricted to operating from a runway or road can drastically reduce the usability of fixed-wing UAVs in the field. That’s why all of our aircraft feature vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL).

Aeromerican is proud to offer NDAA compliant versions of all our unmanned aircraft systems.

Our compliant versions are 2024 NDAA Section 1821 American Security Drone Act compliant, 2023 NDAA Section 817 compliant, and 2020 NDAA Section 848 compliant.

All of our unmanned aircraft systems are FAA 14 CFR Part 89 compliant by providing integrated RemoteID.

Our C3 architecture is based on the CubePilot Herelink system for all airframe sizes. This system features:

  • Stock antenna range up to 12mi
  • AES-128 Encryption
  • Ethernet passthrough
  • Waypoint mission planning
  • 5.8Ghz Wi-Fi ground architecture for maximum dissemination and situational awareness
  • Full Mavlink telemetry
  • Live HD Video
  • Switchable dual HDMI input
  • Real-time aircraft map following
  • Dual operator mode for flying payloads & gimbals

All of our unmanned aircraft systems come with Ardupilot installed, configured, and tuned for the particular aircraft.

Ardupilot has long been the industry standard autopilot software for professional unmanned systems. Ardupilot’s versatility and flight-proven nature allows it to handle any mission set from aerial mapping to long range autonomous waypoint navigation. Facilitating features like automatic takeoff, landing, and GPS rescue return-to-launch, this autopilot reduces pilot workload and maximizes aircraft safety. Readily integrated with ATAK.

Every aircraft features 100% tool-less assembly to minimize time to launch.

Every bind and fly (BNF) and ready to fly (RTF) system is packed in a customized, weatherproof case to ensure not only safe delivery but also safe transportation to and from your operating area, time after time.


Through thorough research and industry experience, we’ve either developed or collected the best airframes available for VTOL applications. With our expert integration, tuning, and flight testing, these platforms offer unmatched value and resilience. Self integration and bind and fly options are also available for the operators that already posses the expertise and necessary ground equipment.

Our fixed-wing VTOL UAVs, ranging from under 2 pounds to the Part 107 maximum of 55 pounds, are built to order and fully customizable to meet your mission specific requirements. With blank downfacing payload mounting options, or custom-manufactured solutions to fit your unique payloads, our platforms are ready to support your needs.
