About
Our Story
After 15 years of making UAS drones and selling them as empty shells we, Torstein and Espen decided to make a new company that could focus on turnkey solutions for our brand New Mini Cruiser VTOL and our Mini Cruiser.
Production will continue in ET-Air Slovakia (our sister company). Sales will be done by ET-Air Norway as well as installation of autopilot, avionics and payload. Testing and quality control will be done both in Norway and Slovakia.
The Mini Cruiser is a well proven platform used by NTNU (University in Trondheim, Norway) and Norce in Tromsø.
