Meet The Founder
Kavin Gustafson
Founder & CEO
With a deep background in engineering, prototyping, and real-world flight testing, Kavin designs and builds high-performance VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) drones for demanding missions in ISR, logistics, public safety, and beyond.
A hands-on creator and media educator through his Think Flight YouTube channel, Kavin has extensive experience developing advanced UAV prototypes, including electric VTOL designs, large-scale models, loitering munitions, and innovative airframe solutions such as truss joint wings and wingtip propulsion to improve structural performance and efficiency.
He emphasizes practical, operator-centric innovation, premium U.S.-made components, and pushing the boundaries of autonomous aviation.
Kavin holds a professional doctorate from Loma Linda University and is actively advancing the U.S. drone ecosystem, including participation in the Oregon UAS Accelerator Cohort 3.
