About us

Breaking the Limits of
Flight Since 2010.

16 years. Two pilots. One AI. One vision.

The Story

From the first balsa wood gliders to an AI-driven drone fleet. Martin Rudat has been building flying machines for as long as he can remember. What began as a passion became a company — and then something even greater.

XFLIGHT GmbH stands for 16 years of experience under real-world conditions. Not in a lab. On bridges, wind turbines, in storms and ice. Where others stop, we begin.

S

Serdar Soyal

3D Product Designer

Gives every XFLIGHT aircraft its shape. From concept sketch to production-ready 3D model — he translates engineering specs into hardware that performs and impresses.

“A drone frame has to be aerodynamic, tough, and repairable in the field — all at once.”

O

Oliver Derks

Network & Server Admin

The backbone of XFLIGHT operations. Manages the infrastructure that keeps Maggie online, the data local, and every system running — 24/7, without compromise.

“Security isn't a feature — it's the foundation.”

J

Jörn Asmussen

Marketing & CI Design

Shapes how XFLIGHT looks and speaks to the world. From visual identity to brand strategy — he makes sure XFLIGHT communicates exactly what it is: precise, bold, unmistakable.

“A strong brand isn't loud — it's clear.”
