Unbelievably productive week at AUSA in DC.
I've identified nearly a dozen pathways for deploying our aircraft into test environments with the United States military.
A ton of applications and partner technologies that expand our applicability in ways that I couldn't imagine before.
Sourced several vendors for critical components and manufacturing processes.
And above all, secured a foothold in the nation's capital for @RatioDrones .
We are early, we are right on target, and we are very well positioned is my overall takeaway.
Test flight #3
*lower the volume*
Thanks to our COO @dylancm for keeping us on schedule with testing.
Raw footage of the first ever flight of our concept craft at the @DARPA
Lift comp.
From a blank sheet to flying in 3 months. (Give or take a couple weeks)
This was also the first time we spun her up with the blades installed.
A master class in "fuck it, we ball."
We just flew our test bench craft for the very first time live in front of the whole world.
Successful takeoff and landing.
Shout out to the incredible team here at Ratio.
From blank sheet to airborn in 3 months.
Incredible.
🚨 Urgent: Hiring Embedded Electronics Engineer for Heavy Lift Drone
We’re on an extremely aggressive timeline and need more hands on deck for embedded electronics immediately.
Contract: Full-time starting ASAP (ideally within days).
4–8 weeks preferred, but we’ll take two weeks from the right person who can jump in right now.
Real path to full-time in-person role + equity.
Compensation: Competitive rate + cut of competition winnings if you commit through the first week of August.
Already in place:
• Cube Orange + ArduPilot
• GPS integrated
• Custom servo board + RC transmitter commanding servos i.e. the basics
Your role: be the bridge between mechanical and software
• Integrate FADEC with ArduPilot (throttle, start sequence, telemetry, etc.)
• Close the control loop between the powerplant, servos & flight controller
• Debug power systems, wiring, grounding & final avionics
• Bridge powerplant, software & mechanical teams
• Drive us fast to tethered hover and first flight
Must-haves:
• Strong ArduPilot / Cube Orange experience (tuning flight controllers)
• Hands-on FADEC/ECU integration (turbine experience a big plus)
• Embedded systems (C/C++, serial/CAN, MAVLink)
• Ability to deliver under extreme time pressure
This is a hands-on position at our shop in Austin (travel covered).
Bonus points if you've built large RC helicopters and/or worked with turbines.
Email [email protected]
Subject “Turbine Drone” + short note on your ArduPilot + propulsion integration experience + availability + rate.
Let’s get this bird flying!

I would like to formally introduce you Ratio Drones and our logistics platform concept.
The Liberator
Payload/Weight: 6:1 (conservative)
Fuel: diesel, a1, gas, propane configurable.
Power gen: 20kw+
Starlink included.
This is the future of frontier logistics.
Delivering atoms, electrons and bytes to every forward deployed engineer, researcher, technician, and farmer for the next generation of progress.
This platform will run field hospitals, research stations on the side of a volcano, feed cattle stuck across a river, deliver a wellhead to remote exploration sites, and that's just v1.
I can't think my team enough for helping me get this off the ground.
Soon that will be a literal statement.
Shout out to @LifeofRileyATX
@0x6D6163 and my close friend @slumber_ship for helping make this possible.
And to @Xaraphim for working with us to validate our concepts for the DARPA Lift challenge.
If you want to know more about Ratio Drones, send a DM.
Otherwise we'll see you from the podium at the Lift competition.
