Airtrek Robotics

One month. 15 demos. One clear signal: airplanes are ready for ground-collision protection.

This clip shows IRIS tracking live aircraft and continuously watching the wings to help prevent ground-collision damage. Across the demos we saw it all — bright sun, nighttime ops, heavy rain, fog, high winds, and even snow — and our system performed phenomenally, proving aircraft can be protected in almost any condition.

Our demo sprint did exactly what it needed to do: prove the technology with real operators in real environments, alongside real customers.

In 2026, we will head to multiple cities as we test and deploy with major customers in their own hangars and on their own ramps.

Huge thanks to our partners at Reynolds Jet for continuously towing aircraft for us throughout development and demos — we couldn’t have proven out this technology without them.

Stay tuned as we continue to redefine aviation safety!

🎥 Check out our COO, Jon Taylor, PMP, sharing what we’re building at Airtrek Robotics and how we’re shaping the future of aviation safety.

Big thanks to Cintrifuse and StartupCincy for capturing this moment.

✈️ Aircraft suffer millions in damage every year from hangar rash — those “small” bumps on wingtips, tails, and fuselages that lead to big repair bills.

We’re teaching AI to prevent it. 🚫🤖

From simulation → to real aircraft → to live robotic guidance, our system uses LiDAR + cameras to see space clearly and keep planes safe.

Safer skies. Smarter ground handling. The future is here. 🚀

Reynolds Jet

The solution to hangar rash isn't just a better process—it's superhuman vision.

In this video, you'll see a private jet being towed into the hangar alongside a live look at one of our robots eyes, a lidar outputting a 3D pointcloud. That colorful cloud is millions of data points analyzing the environment with ultimate precision.

This is what allows our autonomous wingwalker to see every potential obstacle and create a digital safety bubble around the aircraft.

It’s simple: the more data we gather, the smarter our wingwalker gets, and the closer we are to eliminating hangar rash for good.

Another great day of R&D at Reynolds Jet !

Hangar rash? We're making it a thing of the past.

Here’s a glimpse of the first step. Our Airtrek Robotics team is on-site at Reynolds Jet, using our IRIS robot to gather the essential data needed to train the AI for our new autonomous wingwalker.

Our engineers Huzefa Dossaji and Jon Taylor are capturing every detail to ensure our system can track aircraft and prevent collisions with 100% accuracy.The future of ground safety is autonomous.

A massive shoutout to our partners at Reynolds Jet for helping us push the boundaries of aviation!

Follow along the journey as we develop our new wingwalking robot from ground up.
