Your Open Source Aircraft Community
Arrow is a community building open-source drones and eVTOL aircraft.
Design together.
Build together.
Fly together.
A global workshop that never closes
We build aircraft like software teams ship code, designing in public, iterating fast, and sharing everything. The same drones get assembled in garages and workshops across the world, each build feeding data back to the community. Every flight log, every failure, every fix makes the next one better.
Anyone can join our community and contribute.
DESIGN Together
We sketch in public - sharing CAD, simulations, and ideas on GitHub and Discord. Anyone can review, suggest, or fork. The best ideas win, regardless of who submitted them.
Build Together
Same designs, same specs, different continents. Arrow aircraft get built in garages and workshops worldwide - scaling from makerspaces to community production lines as we grow. When one builder learns, everyone benefits.
Test Together
We validate in the open: bench rigs, tethered hovers, flight logs, and crash reports published for all to learn from. Data decides what ships next.
Fly Together
Designs proven in the air. Flights get livestreamed, logs get reviewed in public, and tuning improvements spread across the global fleet. Your flight data makes everyone's aircraft better.
Open Source Philosophy
Every design is public, every decision is visible, and anyone can propose a better way. If your idea is good, it ships. Doesn't matter who you are.
Build aircraft at internet speed.
Start with Drones
End with Flying Cars
We're not building a flying car and hoping it works. We're starting with drones - shipping real aircraft, learning from real flights, and scaling up deliberately.
Each project funds the next. Each flight teaches the next.
Multipurpose Drone
Project Quiver [2025 - ]
Where it all starts. An open-source quadcopter you can build, fly, and hack. Modular payloads, fully open design, and every flight feeds data back to the community. Not just a drone, but a platform for everything that comes next.
Cargo UAV
Project Spearhead [2026]
Scaling up. Spearhead will be a cargo VTOL built for range, endurance, and real operations. Tougher regulations, actual logistics at scale. This is where we prove the model holds up when it matters.
Manned eVTOL
Project Feather [2027]
First human-scale aircraft. Feather starts with cargo and utility missions, stacking flight hours and safety data before anyone climbs in. When we fly people, it's because the aircraft already proved itself. The bridge between drones and air taxis.
Air Taxis
Project Volley [2028+]
Air taxis. That's where this is going. We don't have every detail figured out, but we know the best way to actually get them into the world is with a community that builds locally, everywhere at once. Not one company trying to do it all. That's the whole point of Arrow.
These Problems Won't Solve Themselves
The aircraft industry is closed, slow, and expensive. The eVTOL startups burning billions aren't fixing that, they're replicating it. We think there's a better way.
Aerospace Is a Walled Garden
Try to build on what exists - you can't. Designs are locked up, manufacturing is centralized, and decades of institutional knowledge are guarded in secrecy. There's no open platform to start from.
eVTOL Is Stuck in Moonshot Mode
Billions of dollars, one big bet, fingers crossed. Most will fail. The few that survive will sell to the wealthy. This isn't how transformative technology should happen.
Distance Keeps You From What's Important
Your family is three hours away. Your best friend moved across the country. The places that matter most are "too far to visit often." We built highways and hub airports, infrastructure that optimizes for logistics, not for human connection.
Hardware Still Moves Like It's 1970
Software ships weekly. Aircraft take decades. The tools exist to move faster: version control, simulation, and global collaboration, but aerospace hasn't adopted them.
Open Source Can't Fund Real Things
Linux doesn't need to buy aluminum and motors. Traditional open source funding doesn't work when you're building physical aircraft. A new model is required.
The 100-Mile Problem
Cars work for short trips. Airlines work for cross-country. But that middle distance is too far to drive and too short to fly commercial. No good option exists. Yet.
How We Win
Big budgets and closed systems haven't cracked this. We're betting on something different - open designs, distributed teams, and a funding model built for hardware. Here's the playbook.
Earn Ownership
Contribute and you earn tokens and a seat at the table. Token holders govern Arrow's priorities and decide what gets built.
DAO-Funded Hardware
Open source works for software because code is free to copy. Hardware needs money. Our on-chain treasury funds real builds, prototypes, and flight tests.
Iterate, Don't Moonshot
We're not betting billions on one design and hoping it flies. Start with drones. Prove them. Scale up. Each project funds and de-risks the next.
Scale Out, Not Up
People join because they want to build this where they live. Our designs get built in workshops and garages worldwide. Horizontal scaling beats centralized production.
Community Is the Moat
A global crew united by a shared vision and the desire to build it where they are. Engineers, pilots, and makers who believe in what we're creating and want to make it real in their own communities.
Built for Connection
We're not optimizing for logistics or cargo. We're building aircraft that bring people closer to the people and places they love. That's the mission. Everything else follows.
Unparalleled
Remote Collaboration
We design and build aircraft entirely online. Modern tools let our global community collaborate across timezones-from CAD to flight tests.
Workshop Streaming
Share builds, tests, and hands-on work live with the community.
Collaborative Engineering Sessions
Review designs and solve spatial problems together online.
Video Calls
Daily coordination and technical discussions across our global community.
Live Flight Test Events
Watch critical milestones and celebrate progress together, wherever you are.
Community Gallery
Since 2021, our community has grown from a handful of dreamers to a global network of engineers, pilots, and builders. We work online, meet in person, and ship real aircraft together.
We're still early. Every year we learn more, our tools get better, and our designs get closer to changing how the world moves. Now is a great time to get involved.
Anyone can join.
Anyone can contribute.
Help Us Grow Our Arrow Community
Arrow relies on organic growth. Anyone in our decentralized community can contribute to our social media production and earn Arrow token.
Twitch & YouTube
Stream builds, test flights, and dev tutorials. Share your Quiver mods or code live. Every view grows the fleet and earns you Arrow token.
Workshops & Events
Organize build sessions to assemble Quivers, test flights to push prototypes, or workshops to prototype new ideas. Hands-on collaboration drives progress-and rewards hosts.
Social Media Reach
Post updates, progress pics, or project breakdowns. Tag us, use the hashtags, help others discover what's possible. Amplification = contribution.
Podcast
Cover eVTOL tech, open-source hardware, or the future of flight. Interview builders, break down challenges, bring new voices in. Audio counts.
