First Airborne transforms logistically intensive wind power services into automated robotics-based services.

Front and center is the proprietary drone-mounted Windborne sensor, which provides wind turbine performance testing at exceptional scale and accuracy.

Windborne, now validated by Deutsche WindGuard, is for all intents and purposes a flying wind mast. While incumbent stationary solutions such as LiDARs can test about 5 turbines annually at considerable expense and effort – including calibrations and craning, Windborne’s test rate, due to its seamless mobility, exceeds 100 turbines yearly.

The company services wind farms owned and operated by leading global players in Europe and the USA.
