The Draco is a prototype-proven 4-seater aircraft that can take off and land in less than 30 meters. It flies three times farther than a helicopter, climbs two times faster, all while costing less than half! The U.S. Department of Defense confirmed in a study that Draco was especially useful for special operations.
Draco will come with a safety backup system, assisted by AI, allowing it to fly autonomously. It can fly as a drone, fight hostile UAS, insert a special ops team, and do C4ISR missions.
They are raising $2 million now, and an additional $2.3 million towards the end of 2026, said Johannes von Thadden, co-founder & CEO of the company. The investment will allow the aircraft to be certified by EASA and FAA for civil use and to prepare for serial production. Draco Aircraft, established in Poland, was founded at the end of 2023 and already has an initial investor on board: a U.S. VC fund.
