about us

STRADAai, finds its roots in the Old LATIN word “strata”

meaning “a paved road, skillfully prepared for travel.” Building on this concept, at StradaAi we are paving the way with Artificial Intelligence in order to improve drone navigation. Our mission is to empower drone operators in the European Union to transform potential paths into viable airway roads for safe and efficient flight. We recognize that not all paths are suitable for drones, but with careful planning and adherence to regulations, we can create designated corridors in the sky.
