About

About Heven AeroTech

Heven AeroTech builds uncrewed aircraft around hydrogen-electric propulsion and autonomous mission systems. Its platforms span the Z1 long-endurance VTOL aircraft, H2D-series multirotors, Raider modular UAS, Atlas heavy-lift aircraft and field refuelling systems. The company targets tactical ISR, logistics, public-safety response, infrastructure monitoring and other missions where battery endurance or runway dependence restrict operations.

Founded in 2019, Heven is headquartered in Northern Virginia with engineering and manufacturing operations in Bingen, Washington and Israel. It acquired Zepher Flight Labs in April 2025, adding the Z1 programme and U.S. VTOL engineering capacity, then rebranded from Heven Drones to Heven AeroTech in September 2025. A $100 million Series B led by IonQ is funding domestic manufacturing, hydrogen logistics, GPS-denied navigation, secure communications and autonomous operations.

Timeline

Events

  • 2026-09-02 - Facility Opening - Heven AeroTech operates new Northern Virginia drone production facility

    The Winchester, Virginia facility is expected to begin shipping its first drones in the coming weeks. The production site is associated with Heven's hydrogen-powered drone manufacturing program. The reported production lineup includes the fixed-wing VTOL Z1, the H2D255 multirotor and heavy-lift multirotor platforms.

  • 2025-12-01 - Funding - Heven AeroTech raises $100M Series B at $1B valuation

    The capital supports U.S. manufacturing expansion, hydrogen generation and logistics infrastructure, and faster fielding of long-endurance aircraft. Heven also plans quantum-secure communications, alternative positioning and navigation for GPS-denied environments, and AI-powered autonomous operations. The company highlighted the Z1 platform, which it says exceeds 10 hours of endurance and 600 miles of range.

  • 2025-11-24 - Partnership - IonQ and Heven AeroTech partner on quantum-enabled drone systems

    The strategic partnership pairs IonQ’s quantum technologies with Heven’s long-range hydrogen-powered unmanned aerial systems for defense and aerospace missions. The work may include quantum networking and security between drones, quantum-computing optimization of fleet routes and drone-satellite imagery, and quantum sensing for alternative positioning, navigation and timing. The announcement also includes an IonQ investment and a board appointment, but describes planned joint initiatives rather than a deployed quantum-enabled aircraft; Heven’s Z1 is cited as an example platform, not as the named deployment target.

  • 2025-09-30 - Org Change - Heven Drones rebrands as Heven AeroTech

    The company announced the completed name change on 30 September 2025. Heven linked the rebrand to Zepher integration, its Northern Virginia headquarters and continued investment in Bingen, Washington. The new identity preserves company continuity while reflecting a broader defense, commercial and public-safety aerospace portfolio.

  • 2025-04-25 - Acquisition - Heven acquires Zepher Flight Labs

    Zepher contributed lightweight, field-repairable VTOL engineering and its Bingen, Washington operation. The acquired Z1 programme and team joined Heven's broader hydrogen-powered unmanned-aircraft portfolio. The transaction was completed in April 2025; Heven's separate Mach Industries production partnership is not part of this acquisition record.

  • 2025-03-18 - Partnership - Mach Industries and Heven Drones partner on U.S. drone manufacturing

    The partnership covers manufacturing at Mach’s 115,000-square-foot Forge Huntington facility in Huntington Beach. Heven identified the H100, H2D55 and Raider as initial aircraft covered by the production relationship. The companies framed the programme as U.S.-based capacity for defense customers seeking larger volumes and reduced reliance on foreign supply chains.
