OUR FOUNDER

Paul’s passion for motor racing led him to study Aerospace Engineering, with dreams of working in Formula 1. After roles at Qantas and Holden GM, he became disillusioned with the industry’s reliance on outdated, gas-guzzling technology.

In 2010, while researching lightweight sailplanes for potential electrification, Paul discovered the Joby Monarch eVTOL concept — a moment that shifted his focus to the future of electric flight. Today, he’s developing the manned eVTOL project Propal Solo (www.propal.aero). For Paul, progress is a sequence: before we run, we must walk — and before we fly eVTOLs, we must design, build, and fly quads.

Paul built his first quad in 2013. By 2015, he was exploring the idea of racing quads, which evolved into the Aeracer style drone. The project was briefly delayed in 2016, when he began collaborating with FPV pioneer Simon Jardine at Aerobot on an FPV race quad. That same year, the first 3-inch Aeracer took to the skies, followed by over a dozen more — along with numerous 4-inch and several 5-inch racing quads. The culmination was the Aeracer 5, which Thomas Bitmatta, former World MultiGP Champion, piloted to victory in its maiden race.

THE AERACER DIFFERENCE:


High-performance drone design comes down to refinement. Aeracer drones are built for one thing: pure, uncompromising performance. Every curve, component, and configuration is engineered to deliver blistering acceleration, razor-sharp agility, and incredible top speeds.

  • Lightning Acceleration – Ultra-light frames paired with maximum thrust for explosive punch-outs.

  • Blazing Top Speed – Aerodynamic design with minimal drag for unmatched pace.

  • Perfect Balance – Precision weight distribution for smooth, controlled turns at any speed.

From the race track to high-speed cinematic flights, Aeracer drones combine cutting-edge engineering with pilot-first design. The Aeracer 5 rewrote the rules of FPV racing — boasting a 16:1 thrust-to-weight ratio and victory on its maiden race. The Aeracer 6 HD takes it further, carrying DJI’s O4 Pro Air Unit for crystal-clear footage at extreme speeds, with frame innovations that make 6” prop performance possible.

Aeracer isn’t just another drone.
It’s the result of years of obsessive refinement, where every gram, wire, and angle has a purpose — to fly faster, smoother, and further than the rest.

Aeracer isn't just a product; it's a movement. We're obsessed with your flying experiece and design—because when you soar with Aeracer, we all win. Ready to transform your FPV game? Grab your Aeracer HD 3D print files today and experience the difference.
