Singular Aircraft was established in response to a significant personal loss experienced by its founder. The death of a close friend—a courageous pilot who died while combating a wildfire—highlighted the severe impact of wildfires, which annually result in numerous casualties and extensive property damage.
In response to this tragedy, Singular Aircraft developed an innovative unmanned aircraft designed to deliver substantial quantities of water and fire retardants with both speed and precision.
In 2013, a first prototype named SA03 was made. Since then, the system has evolved significantly and has grown into a versatile platform capable of supporting various missions beyond wildfire management: FLYOX I
With one of the highest payload capacity available in the UAV market, FLYOX I serves multi purposes including search and rescue, logistics and defence applications.
