Company overview
AirMind develops drone flight controllers, modular flight platforms, power electronics and airframe hardware. Its range includes the MindPX open-source autopilot system, the stackable MindRacer platform for miniature UAVs and racing drones, and Mind4, an Android-based quadcopter designed for aerial filming with autonomous tracking, following and gesture control.
MindRacer Gen.3 uses a modular architecture with a WEP2 stacking interface carrying 98 I/O signals and supports PX4 autopilot v1.14 and later. The Firecrest flight controller, announced on December 31, 2024, measures 19 × 19 mm and uses a 400 MHz H743 processor. The associated MRPDB V3 board combines a 4-in-1 ESC with a 5 V BEC and a selectable high-voltage BEC. It accepts 3–6S batteries, specifies a maximum current of 50 A, and provides up to 60 W of combined BEC output for onboard electronics.
AirMind's MindPX system originated as an open-source project in November 2014, branching from Pixhawk with revised circuitry and structure. MindPX V2.8 emphasizes improved VTOL support. Its MX450 starter airframe kit includes four aluminum-alloy arms with 2216/900KV brushless motors, four 10-inch propellers and four 20 cm legs for mounting payloads beneath the aircraft; the arms accommodate BLHeli-S ESCs rated at 40 A maximum.
