TWO SYSTEMS.
ONE MISSION.

Both platforms share the same airframe lineage and sensor architecture — designed from the ground up for energy infrastructure, not adapted from consumer hardware.

TILTROTOR

V-22 Osprey-inspired tiltrotor combining VTOL takeoff with fixed-wing cruising efficiency. Built for maximum range across large-scale energy infrastructure.

Mission

WHERE WE
FLY.

Energy infrastructure spans thousands of acres ground crews can't efficiently cover. ORITHIAN fills that gap — autonomously, on schedule, without helicopter costs.

Primary
SOLAR FARM INSPECTION

Thermal and optical passes over utility-scale solar arrays to locate hot spots, failed strings, and wiring faults. Automated anomaly flagging is a planned capability.

Secondary
UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE

Power lines, wind turbines, and substations. Replacing rope-access and helicopter surveys with autonomous platforms that run on a maintenance schedule.

About

HARDWARE
FIRST.

We don't resell existing drone platforms. We design and build ours — which means we can optimize every tradeoff for the inspection mission specifically.

ORITHIAN

Named for Orithyia, the Greek princess carried skyward by the god of the north wind.

Based in Los Angeles, operating across Southern California.

AERODYNAMICS

Airfoil selection and CFD analysis done in-house, sized for long, efficient cruise rather than hover time.

STRUCTURES

Airframes designed in CAD and printed in lightweight PLA Aero, so a design change becomes a flying part fast.

AUTONOMY

ArduPlane-based flight control, configured and tuned for repeatable inspection routes.

PAYLOAD

Thermal and optical sensors integrated into the airframe, designed for up to 2 kg of payload.

How it works

ONE FLIGHT.
FOUR STEPS.

From site boundary to findings in your inbox. No runway, no pilot on the sticks, no helicopter booking.

01
MAP THE SITE

We load your site boundaries and asset layout, then plan an inspection route sized to a single flight's range.

You provideSite boundary and asset list
02
TAKE OFF VERTICALLY

The aircraft lifts off from a small pad like a multirotor, then transitions to wing-borne flight for efficient cruise.

FootprintA few square meters of open ground
03
FLY THE CORRIDOR

Cruising at 80–100 km/h, it runs thermal and optical passes over solar arrays or power line spans on autopilot.

CoverageUp to a 25 mi radius per flight
04
GET THE FINDINGS

Imagery is processed after landing. Anomalies are flagged with their location, so crews go straight to the problem.

WHAT COMES
BACK.

An early look at the report format OR-1 will generate. The site, findings, and values below are synthetic, not from a real flight. Select a marker or a row to see the finding.

    Severity here is illustrative. In a delivered report, each finding would include GPS coordinates, the source thermal and optical frames, and the temperature measurements behind its severity.
