It’s been so long since I shared anything publicly about what I’ve been working on and I am very excited to show off what we’ve been building. (star@therecraft.com)
I’d like to publicly introduce Therecraft which offers aviation services using our drone vehicle called Hopper —
Conversation
Our flagship drone which we call Hopper, has performance that should blow you away:
- 6 hours of flight time
- range of 180 miles
- that’s while carrying a typical 10-lb payload (easily carrying cameras, sensors, cargo; such as tacos 🌮😄)
- the empty vehicle weighs just 20lbs

Why does the vehicle weight matter? FAA restrictions (which are duplicated in most of the world) say you can’t fly a drone over 55lbs without plenty of time-consuming paperwork. We skip that by offering high performance while lighter than anything else out there with our specs.

We have enormous volume in our modular payload bay, whether flying with sensors, cameras, or tacos — which we are able to handily release while airborne, for deliveries on the go.
We can take off and land from a roof, a helipad, a parking spot, a tennis court, a ship’s deck.

Hopper is optimized for —
- Atmospheric & climate sensing
- Fire observation, aerial monitoring & mapping
- “Drone First Responder” work for Emergency Services
- Aerial photography & mapping
- Short-haul air cargo
- Shore-to-ship resupply
- Underway resupply (ship-to-ship)

Really smart to use ICE when everyone is only talking electric. Is it gas or diesel?
