Company Profile
Unmanned Aerospace
Company Overview
Unmanned Aerospace, based in San Diego, California, has reimagined rotorcraft technology—delivering the VTOL capability of a helicopter with less complexity, less maintenance, and the long distance forward-flight efficiency of a gyrocopter.
Our flagship drone, the GH-4, leverages patented technology, allowing it to take off and hover like a helicopter while consuming 40% less energy in forward flight—thanks to its autorotating rotor system inspired by gyrocopters. Unlike traditional helicopters, the GH-4 eliminates swashplates, gears and complex linkages, reducing maintenance and increasing reliability. With just two servos controlling flight, it offers an exceptional flight versatility, simplicity, and performance.
Scalability is at the core of Unmanned Aerospace. The GH-4 is designed to evolve into larger rotorcraft with greater range and payload, adaptable for both military and commercial operations. Backed by the US Navy and OECIF, Unmanned Aerospace is pioneering the next generation of hydrogen-powered flight, integrating fuel cells and hybrid booster batteries for long-endurance missions.
Unmanned Aerospace is committed to scaling this breakthrough technology to redefine aerial operations across military and commercial applications.
Lead by founder & CEO Gad Shaanan. A serial entrepreneur and award-winning product innovator, Gad has spent 35+ years developing cutting-edge solutions for global brands like Bombardier, GE and Qualcomm. Passionate about aviation from an early age, Gad has built, modified, and piloted remote flying machines his entire life. After years of researching gyrocopter flight dynamics, and in collaboration with UA's team of experts, the GH technology was born.
