About · Company

Aerial technology, engineered in India.

Weevils Drones designs and builds UAVs at the IIT Kharagpur Science & Technology Park. The lineup spans fixed-wing platforms, VTOL hybrids, and multirotor systems, including FPV, tethered, and fibre-optic configurations. Workshop testing and simulation run alongside IIT KGP faculty in Robotics and Aeronautics, and every airframe is engineered, flown, and supported under one roof.

Who we are

Mission & values.

Vision

Design and build drones with precision and intent. We turn operator requirements into airframes that fly the mission.

Mission

Pioneer UAV platforms that hold up in the field, in Indian conditions, on Indian supply chains, with no foreign dependence in the loop.

Story

Founded in 2024 out of the IIT Kharagpur STEP program. Started in the workshop, still flies out of it. The team has grown around a single rule: ship platforms that survive contact with the operator.

Process · End-to-end

How we get it done.

Every platform runs the same loop: design at the workshop, fly it, learn from it, ship it.

01

Design & Simulation

Airframe modelling, payload-bay layout, and aerodynamic checks at the IIT KGP simulation labs before metal gets cut.

02

Fabrication

Composite CF/FG airframes for tactical platforms, balsa-and-plywood for trainers. Autopilot bay assembly happens on the same floor.

03

Flight Test

ArduPilot tuning, range and endurance trials, payload integration. Every config logged, every fix re-flown.

04

Field Handover

ARF kit dispatch, mission-plan setup, operator training, and ongoing support after the platform leaves the workshop.

Core values

Principles that anchor the work.

Build it ourselves

Airframes, autopilot integration, and flight tuning happen in-house. No black-box subassemblies in the critical path.

Iterate in the open

Every revision goes back through flight test before it ships. We'd rather find the failure on our own range than the operator's.

Stand behind the platform

Operators get the people who built the airframe on the other end of the call. Training, mission planning, and field support are part of the deliverable, not an upsell.

Engage

Meet the people behind the airframe.
