Our Processes

Resin Infusion Building Process is considered a “GREEN” process. Resin-Infusion is the future of aircraft manufacturing, offering lower cost and comparable quality to much more expensive autoclave methods. The process allows for much greater precision and repeatability, while also creating much less weight and waste than the standard wet-layup methods used in many UAS.  The materials used are calculated for each part in order to minimize waste. Resin-Infusion also uses much less electricity than the large heated and pressurized autoclave methods, and releases no harmful VOC emissions. This process ensures our UAS are LIGHTER, STRONGER, FASTER and more fuel EFFICIENT. Not to mention the simple elegance that exudes quality from each system that we build.

Drone America has done an outstanding job of building a positive relationship with the FAA, coordinating calls between regional offices and extending invitations to them to visit Drone America, putting us in a better position for gaining access to airspace for testing.  Working with the FAA for approval for test sites and Certificate of Authorization (COA) is critical to our reputation of safety and reliability.

Drone America is one of a limited number companies seeking approval from the FAA for their Experimental Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) manufacturing process enhancing our image with the FAA by indicating that our build quality rivals that of the major manufacturers. This puts us in the position to assist the FAA as they establish regulatory standards for flight operations for UAS within National Airspace (NAS), setting us apart from our competitors.

In order to earn the respect of our prospective clients in a discriminating customer-driven environment, we must demand the highest standards of ourselves, coupled with a desire to stay on the cutting-edge of UAS manufacturing technology. Our engineering team continuously evaluates existing products, adjust and adapt based upon market trends and mission specific customer driven applications
