Custom aircraft engineered for rapid deployment - modular by design, precision built and mission ready for any environment.
Merlin Aerospace is advancing the edge of aerospace with innovative aerial systems that address the logistical challenges of contested environments. We design, prototype and manufacture mission ready manned and autonomous aircraft for training, aerial monitoring and last mile payload delivery. We focus on utility, modular design platforms for rapid onsite assembly and technology pairings that allow performance of a wide range of tasks. Our goal is to deliver the mission where others can’t.
Interchangeable chassis modules allow rapid configuration across mission profiles- train, track, or target- all without special tooling.
Simplified tolerances, off the shelf drivetrain components and a documented build process get fleets operational fast.
Rapidly deployable from short field and unimproved terrain without special equipment.
Full telemetry, live camera feeds, and manual override through a unified command interface. Operable without specialized training.
Standardized mounting rails and power distribution across the chassis enable rapid integration of sensors, comms arrays, or mission payloads.
Proprietary design for tactical delivery of multiple units. Simplified logistics for fleet operation within established modalities.
We’re building the autonomous stack from the chassis up, with human safety in mind. No retrofitting, no compromises. Every aircraft is designed to support full self-pilot capability. Full flight autonomy with the ability to operate within contested environments.
