Aerotronic, which focuses on power line inspection and predictive

maintenance with manned helicopters, AI. They also design and manufacture

our own single-rotor autonomous helicopter. Chris and his co-founder had a

very unique journey with creating Aerotronic. He is a helicopter pilot and

aerospace engineer who had knowledge about drones and saw a huge gap in the

market for hardware with the mission of inspecting power lines.
