The Platform

LA-H60
Heavy-Lift
Hexacopter

One aircraft, two missions. The LA-H60 carries a monitoring or spray payload depending on the operation — no second platform required.

LA-H60

X6 Configuration · Redundant Flight Systems

The LA-H60 is a purpose-built heavy-lift hexacopter for agricultural operations. The X6 redundant configuration maintains controlled flight even with a motor failure at full payload — a practical safety requirement for operations over cropland.

Built with blue UAS certified components wherever available, with an active roadmap toward full onshoring of the supply chain. RTK-grade positioning, radar altimetry for terrain following, and long-range telemetry for remote monitoring.

Modular Payload System

One Aircraft, Two Missions

Monitoring Configuration

Carries a multispectral imaging payload for crop scouting, stress detection, and field mapping. Data feeds directly into the prescription workflow. No separate scouting platform needed.

Spray Configuration

40 L modular spray tank with closed-loop flow and pressure control. Configurable nozzles and swath width for variable-rate precision application based on the prescription map.

Certification & Compliance

Regulatory Pathway

The LA-H60 is being certified under FAA Section 44807 exemption for operations above the 55 lb Part 107 threshold, paired with FAA Part 137 agricultural aircraft operator certification for commercial spray operations.

Initial flights will operate under Part 107 VLOS for airframe and flight systems validation. Commercial spray operations will follow upon exemption and Part 137 certification.

Critical avionics and communications electronics are sourced from the US and allied nations. Propulsion and power systems are under active evaluation for domestic and allied alternatives as the supply chain matures.
