Inside Unmanned Systems Interviews Gad Shaanan

May 21, 2025 Houston, TXXponential 2025

Gad Shaanan sits down with Richard Thomas, Executive Editor and Head of Digital at Inside Unmanned Systems to discuss how the idea and unique design of the GH-4 originated, why bringing back a 1920’s concept is so applicable today, and what makes the GH-4 drone unique in the UAV space.

“I’ve been inventing products for over 40 years, I’ve done a lot of work for fortune 500 companies finding new market opportunities for them. I started looking at the UAV sector… discovered a hole in the marketplace which is long-duration, logistics-type aircraft that can fly in turbulent winds. I saw the regular helicopters, the lift + cruise, the multicoptors, but each one of them had a limitation…” said Gad.
