Autonomous electric airplanes for crop spraying
Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation.
To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems.
We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes.
Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries.
What you work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day.

Pyka builds autonomous electric airplanes designed to perform all flight phases without human pilots, from taxiing to takeoff, flight, and landing. Their aircraft are optimized for efficiency, using less power than an electric car and featuring few moving parts to lower maintenance costs. They serve the agricultural sector, offering aerial crop-spraying and other precision applications, enabled by onboard sensors and software that let aircraft fly close to the ground, avoid obstacles, and apply materials accurately. The business model includes selling and leasing aircraft plus ongoing maintenance and support, with revenue also coming from service contracts. A key technical differentiator is their Brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller, which enhances propulsion performance and reliability. Pyka’s goal is to provide safe, efficient, and cost-effective autonomous electric aviation for farming and related applications, expanding the use of sustainable, autonomous air operations.
