About Pyka
Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation. We are applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon‑fiber composite airframes.
Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection across four continents, having secured industry‑first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Our cargo aircraft enhances express delivery networks, while our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural service providers and farmers an autonomous tool for safer, more precise aerial application. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.
