We didn’t reinvent the helicopter. We started over.
The problem was obvious. The solution wasn’t.
FOUNDER, UNMANNED AEROSPACE
This isn’t just a technical mission.
For decades, I watched rotorcraft evolve through iteration but never transformation – solutions were still high maintenance, overly complex and loud.
Unmanned Aerospace wasn’t born from the idea of building a better rotorcraft, it was born from the belief that the helicopter could be radically reimagined. That we could create an aircraft that’s not only capable, but clean, quiet, reliable, scalable, field-serviceable and adaptable enough to meet the real-world demands of both military and industrial environments.
To us, innovation has never been a strategy. It’s a personal pursuit.
The GH platform is the result of that process: a new generation of rotorcraft built from the ground up – guided by the belief that when we challenge every assumption, we uncover what’s actually possible.

As a child, Gad Shaanan was known for taking apart his father’s radios – not to break them, but to understand them. Circuits, components, moving parts: he wanted to see what lived beneath the surface, how function emerged from design. Aviation followed naturally. Model aircraft and helicopter toys weren’t just toys; they were early studies in balance, motion and control.
That curiosity never faded. Over the last four decades, Gad has brought hundreds of products and inventions to market across a wide range of industries, including advanced technology and engineering sectors. His work has consistently lived at the intersection of imagination and practicality: ideas grounded not in theory alone, but in what can be built, tested, refined and deployed.
Early curiosity. Lifelong invention.
Long before Unmanned Aerospace existed, before VTOL platforms and flight testing, there was a fascination with how things worked.
