Our Projects
An overview of Arrow's current and upcoming open source aircraft projects.
Arrow builds open source aircraft as a community — starting small and iterating toward larger, more capable designs. Here's what we're working on.
Arrow's first completed project. A modular 25kg quadcopter designed and built entirely in the open, available now as a dev-kit.
Arrow's next aircraft, currently in development. A fixed-wing VTOL demonstrator pushing toward higher speeds and longer range.
Open-source fixed-wing UAV design and documentation. Lightweight, accessible, and designed for community iteration.
Community-run real-time aircraft flight tracking platform. Logs and visualizes flight data from Arrow hardware in the field.
Heavy-lift hexacopter platform, currently in early development. Designed for payload-heavy missions and rough environments.
A lighter, more accessible variant of the Quiver platform. Lower cost, easier to build, same open-source ethos.
A custom lithium-ion battery pack for Quiver — more capacity, better safety, and longer cycle life than the existing LiPo.
Marketing, content, and community outreach — spreading awareness of Arrow's projects and mission to the world.
Project Quiver
Quiver is Arrow's first completed project: a multipurpose quadcopter designed and built entirely in the open. It's currently available as a devkit, and we have units available to loan to people who want to develop attachments or features for it.
Head to the Quiver tab for full documentation, engineering reports, and assembly guides.
Project Spearhead
Spearhead is Arrow's next aircraft, currently in development. Head to the Spearhead tab for the latest.
The Bigger Picture
Our near-term projects are stepping stones toward a larger vision: a scaled network of automated VTOL aircraft that can improve life for people in a meaningful way. VTOL aircraft require minimal physical infrastructure and lend themselves to direct point-to-point flights — in that world, people can live anywhere and maintain an affordable, fast physical link to the people and places they love.
