Alias

Description

The Aeromerican Alias VTOL UAV

The Aeromerican Alias is based around an industry favorite mapping airframe, the MFE Fighter. With our expert integration, tuning, and flight testing, using only the highest quality components, this platform is ready to reliably toil under a heavy professional workload at an incredible value.

The 4+1 tractor configuration offers fixed wing efficiency with heavy-lift VTOL stability and power offering flight times approaching 2 hours when fully loaded.

Starting at $8600.

Lead Time

All systems are built to order and fully customizable. Our production lead time is 1 – 3 weeks barring supply chain complications.

Quality & Compliance

There is a massive performance difference between Chinese plug-n-play (PNP) components that are often included with kits and professional quality hardware. At Aeromerican, we pride ourselves on integrating the most robust, mission capable VTOL UAVs. The components we’ve chosen to integrate into our aircraft are flight proven, professional quality, and selected based on rigorous engineering data. We trust our UAVs because we trust the critical components that go into them.

Our NDAA compliant versions are integrated with components that ensure data security and integrity. Our compliance ensures that flight controllers, any wireless transmission devices (radios), data handling hardware, cameras, gimbals, autopilot software, ground control system hardware and software, storage devices, network connectivity hardware and software, etc are sourced from secure supply chains. No critical components are sourced from manufacturers domiciled in China, Iran, North Korea, or Russia or from manufactures on the SAM.gov prohibited list. Our NDAA compliant aircraft are 2024 NDAA Section 1821 American Security Drone Act compliant, 2023 NDAA Section 817 compliant, and 2020 NDAA Section 848 compliant.

Our non-compliant versions are still made with quality, reliable, flight proven components albeit at a more attractive price point. Several of the components in our non-compliant versions are actually still NDAA compliant but the system overall is non-compliant. We recommend these non-compliant versions for operators/procurers that are not utilizing federal government funding to acquire these platforms (wildfire management, search and rescue, and law enforcement have special exemptions under the NDAA).
