Cosa fa Ornadyne

Ornadyne builds flapping-wing drones for reconnaissance that look, fly, and sound like birds. Today’s drones are easy to detect acoustically, visually, and electronically. As counter-UAS systems improve, traditional quadcopters and fixed-wing UAS systems are becoming increasingly ineffective for close-range surveillance. Flapping-wing aircraft have existed for years, but have lacked the performance, endurance, and control required for real-world deployment. We’re changing that by engineering a high-performance, stealth-optimized system built from first principles for efficiency, autonomy, and reliable field use. The final frontier of surveillance won’t look like machines; it will look like wildlife already in the sky. Maybe birds aren't real?

Robot birds for surveillance

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building flapping-wing drones that mimic birds in flight, look and sound like them. These drones do close-range reconnaissance in environments where traditional drones are too loud, visible, or electronically detectable.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Los Angeles, and the company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

LA has a strong aerospace and robotics ecosystem. It's where we've built our prototypes and have access to specialized suppliers and early users.
