Rapid. Flexible. Simple.
Concept to flight in 30 days
Aerodynamic Modeling
NAELL generates computational efficient aerodynamic databases and linear models capturing the dominant interactive aerodynamic properties, allowing for rapid vehicle concept generation. NAELL aero models are ready to be used in the MAVRIK flight simulator and configured to easily implement complex, custom vehicles including those containing dynamic, moving components.
Flight Simulation
The MAVRIK flight simulator is a powerful real-time simulator capable of handling complex vehicles including multi-rotor, fixed-wing, VTOL, and rockets. MAVRIK can handle dynamic, moving components allowing the simulation of nontraditional vehicles such as a folding-wing VTOL design.
MAVRIK provides valuable information for external integration such as A & B state space matrices for control laws, emulated sensors, and UDP, Serial, MAVLink, and HTTP communication methods.
In addition to its wire-mesh visualizer, MAVRIK is setup with an Unreal Engine 5 graphics package to visualize the aircraft’s flight. This UE5 graphics package is compatible with custom vehicles, animations, HUDs, camera views, and more.
Flight Control
Falcon Aerospace is currently developing a flight control board to allow easier integration for custom vehicles with nontraditional layouts. This flight controller will be setup to integrate with MAVRIK for hardware-in-the-loop testing before flight as well as the Falcon Ground Control system.
The FA flight controller board will allow integration of custom:
Control laws
Sensors/sensor fusion algorithms
Data logging
Telemetry
Vehicle specific configuration
Ground Control
The Falcon Ground Control system provides a custom ground station interface which can seemlessly transform itself depending on the detected mission, vehicle, or even a specific flight. Falcon Ground Control provides more control over visualizing telemetry and monitoring the status of the vehicle while simulataneously providing redundant datalogging.
In addition to receiving data, Falcon Ground Control can send commands to the vehicle itself allowing users to send custom commands to the vehicle. Falcon Ground Control is capable of UDP, Serial, and MAVLink communication allowing the use of the UE5 graphics to be used as a flight visualizer in addition to simulation.

Why Falcon Aerospace?
Speed – We turn ideas into flight-ready systems in a matter of weeks, dramatically shortening development cycles.
Expertise – Our team brings together deep aerospace engineering experience with advanced software, hardware, and control system design.
Integration – Our platform streamlines development by removing the friction caused by incompatible software and hardware components.
Flexibility – From UAVs to experimental aircraft, we create customized solutions that meet the unique demands of each project.
Our Why
The traditional aerospace development cycle is slow, expensive, and often disconnected from real-world flight testing until late in the process. We saw a critical need in the research and development sector: moving flight testing earlier and making it a streamlined, iterative part of design.
Too often, promising concepts stall in endless simulations or get bogged down by rigid processes. By integrating rapid prototyping, simulation, and control development into a seamless pipeline, we enable engineers and researchers to test, refine, and fly faster than ever before.
Our approach bridges the gap between theory and real-world performance, allowing teams to gather flight data earlier, make informed design decisions, and accelerate innovation. Because the sooner you fly, the sooner you learn.
