About SiFly
SiFly Aviation develops electric autonomous rotorcraft for persistent industrial and public-safety missions. Its Q12 multirotor combines vertical takeoff and precision hover with up to 180 minutes of flight time, swappable EO/IR, mapping, inspection and delivery payloads, onboard detect-and-avoid, edge compute and multiple communications links. The larger Q250 is being developed for heavy-lift cargo missions.
The company pairs its aircraft with cloud-connected operations and the DronePort ground system for autonomous launch, landing, battery exchange and multi-aircraft management. SiFly is headquartered in Santa Clara, California and is scaling U.S. production. Its August 2026 Series A finances Q12 manufacturing, customer deliveries, deployment support and further DronePort field validation.
