YNA7, said yanah, is Emirati for wing
YNA7-01
A drone with an open spec. Make it yours.
Holds still in the air with a sensor: look, measure, map.
Four rotors, light and quick.
A camera on a three-axis gimbal.
A controller that runs the robot and your programs.
Printed or machined, and open for quick service.
Flight time, payload and price come with our reply.
The YNA7 series · Specifications, and the open software it flies on
The YNA7 series.
One family of drones, one flight core. Each is built for a mission.
YNA7-01
Multirotor- Drive
- Four or six rotors
- Class
- Inspect with a sensor, or carry cargo
- For
- Close inspection, mapping, site delivery
YNA7-02
Survey VTOL- Drive
- Takes off on rotors, cruises on a wing
- Class
- Range, with a camera
- For
- Pipelines, coastlines, corridors, large sites
Heavier loads: a larger cargo build, sized to the job.
Classes are what each model is designed for. Your quote gives the design figures; the measured ones come with the robot.
The whole spec, published.
YNA7-01 Drone
- Missions
- Inspect, with a camera, a thermal pair or a lidar; or Cargo, with a pod or a winch
- Frame
- Quad, four rotors; or hex, six rotors for more lift. Cargo flies on six
- Arms
- Carbon fibre tubes
- Body
- Printed or machined, made for where it flies (below)
- Flight control
- The open-source PX4 autopilot, on a Pixhawk® flight controller
- Link
- MAVLink, an open protocol: fly it from any ground station that speaks it
- Computer
- Linux, for your own code; for advanced AI, an NVIDIA Jetson Orin module or a comparable AI computer beside the flight controller. The flight controller flies; the computer sees
- Navigation
- Satellite positioning outdoors; optical flow and a range sensor indoors
- Payloads
- Inspect: a camera on a three-axis gimbal, a thermal and colour pair, or a spinning lidar. Cargo: a pod released on command, or a winch that lowers the load on a line
- Cargo safety
- Planned: a parachute tested to ASTM F3322-24a by an independent test agency, a geofence with flight termination, and obstacle sensing
- Your data
- Yours. No account and no cloud needed to fly
- Flight time, payload and wind limit
- Measured on our first build, and given with your quote
Simulated first Before it flies
Its body and arms go through our own flow solver before it flies. Try the wind tunnel
Built for where it works
Every YNA7-01 is made for one of three places. Choose it above.

Labs, workshops, warehouses
- Frame
- Printed engineering plastic, or machined aluminium
- Sealing
- Open, for quick service
- Fixings
- Steel
Desert
Dust, sand and heat
- Frame
- Machined aluminium
- Sealing
- Sealed joints, filtered cooling
- Fixings
- Steel
Offshore
Salt air and spray
- Frame
- Machined aluminium, anodised and coated
- Sealing
- Sealed joints, coated electronics
- Fixings

PX4 is under the BSD 3-Clause licence and the code MAVLink generates is under the MIT licence. Our thanks to everyone who builds them.
We fly on this open software and choose every part for the job. The airframe, the three builds and the colours are ours.

Sized as a whole drone.
We do not sell parts. Every drone is sized, built and tested as one machine.
You give us the job
What it lifts or carries, how far it reaches or flies, how fast, and where it works.
We size every part
Gimbal, release and winch drives to NASA-STD-5017B torque margins; frame and arms to NASA-STD-5001B factors of safety; motors, battery and computer to the mission.
We simulate it
Flow, heat and load in our own solvers, on your site, before anything is cut.
We build and test the whole
Desert and Offshore builds are tested to selected MIL-STD-810H methods before delivery, at a lab your quote names. You get the measured figures with it.
