Reduce launch-site constraints
Vertical takeoff and landing removes the runway requirement, while site suitability remains part of mission planning.
For infrastructure and field operations teams
Long-range autonomy.
Anywhere the mission leads.
Fell Aerospace is developing long-range VTOL solutions to help Canadian operators inspect remote assets, monitor long corridors, and collect repeatable aerial data—with less repositioning on the ground.
Prototype development and flight validation · Seeking pilot-project discussions
The operating challenge
Long corridors. Remote assets. Limited access.
Every move between launch sites takes time, access planning, and people. For utilities, pipeline operators, and field teams, those constraints can make routine aerial inspections difficult to repeat across an entire network.
We are developing a platform around these operating realities: efficient corridor flight, vertical launch and recovery, and sensing selected for the decisions your team needs to make.
Cover more ground
Efficient fixed-wing cruise is the foundation for covering longer corridors with fewer launch-site changes.
Adapt to the mission
Start with the asset, the inspection question, and the required data—then define the sensing and flight requirements.

Current phasePrototype development and flight validation
QUADPLANE VTOL / DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTQuadplane VTOL
Runway-independent vertical launch and recovery.
Efficient cruise
Fixed-wing flight for extended corridor coverage.
Autonomous execution
Mission planning and onboard autonomy architecture.
Modular sensing
Payload flexibility for inspection, mapping, and monitoring.
Long-range communications
Communications requirements defined around the operating environment and mission.
Future BVLOS
Developed with future beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations in mind.
The development vision
Built for repeat missions.
Repeat inspections need more than flight endurance. Launch, recovery, charging, and integration with your workflow all shape whether a solution works in the field.
Autonomous dock
Our autonomous landing and charging concept explores how a dock could reduce manual handling between recurring monitoring missions.
Integrated aircraft development
Propulsion, sensing, communications, and ground infrastructure are being developed as parts of the same operational solution.
Docking, charging, and propulsion capabilities remain subject to development and validation. Future BVLOS operations depend on the applicable operational approvals.
Applications / 02
Built around the assets you manage.
We are seeking input from operators in these sectors to shape and validate future inspection and monitoring solutions.
Power-line inspection
Inspect long transmission and distribution corridors, document visible asset conditions, and plan repeat coverage around maintenance priorities.
Pipeline monitoring
Monitor remote rights-of-way and document surface changes, encroachment, or access conditions along the route.
Road & infrastructure
Plan repeat mapping of road corridors, worksites, and roadside assets where traffic or terrain complicates ground access.
Wildfire situational awareness
Explore aerial observation requirements for wide-area situational awareness, with airspace coordination and operational constraints defined from the outset.
Agriculture & large-area mapping
Define repeat mapping across farms, forests, and resource sites to track changes and inform fieldwork.
Approach / 03
From your mission to a pilot project
Bring us the route, the access challenge, and the information you need. Together, we can assess where VTOL could fit your operation and define a focused demonstration with clear success criteria.
Understand the mission
Map the assets, current inspection method, access constraints, and repeat frequency.
Define useful results
Agree on the sensing, data format, coverage, and quality your team needs.
Assess operational fit
Review payload integration, launch sites, communications, and approval requirements.
Plan a demonstration
Set a representative test environment and measurable criteria before a pilot proceeds.
About / 04
Built by engineers who started by building
Fell Aerospace grew from hands-on work in McGill Robotics and experience designing, building, and operating VTOL aircraft.

Start a conversation
Let’s assess your next inspection mission.
Tell us what you inspect, how much ground you need to cover, and where your current approach falls short. We are speaking with operators and technical partners to shape pilot projects as the platform develops.
- The asset or corridor and its location
- Coverage, inspection frequency, and access constraints
- The imagery or data your team needs
We’ll use these details to discuss technical fit, development needs, and possible next steps.
