Maplewing Mama

Large-Format Delta-Wing UAS for ISR, Logistics & Command Roles

Maplewing Mama is the larger evolution of the Maplewing FPV platform — a robust, attritable fixed-wing delta drone engineered to serve as a mother drone, ISR platform, logistics carrier, or link relay. Designed for extended operational roles, Mama combines generous payload capacity with proven aerodynamic efficiency and reliable field performance.

With a 60” x 46” footprint, burst vertical take-off, and cruising speeds of 80 km/h (up to 170 km/h max), Mama delivers scalable capabilities for missions that demand endurance, flexibility, and rapid deployment.

Mission-Ready Performance

  • Expanded Platform — Larger airframe for greater payloads and mission endurance.
  • Vertical Take-Off — Operates from almost any terrain without runways or launch systems.
  • Wide Speed Envelope — 80 km/h cruising and 170 km/h maximum speed enable ISR, command relay, and logistics missions.
  • Flexible Mission Roles — Configurable for ISR, logistics resupply, communications relay, or as a mother drone for smaller assets.

Aerodynamic Advantage

Mama features a proven anhedral delta wing for:

  • Excellent Stall Resistance  — Reliable control during take-off and low-speed flight. 
  • Exceptional Gliding Efficiency — With a 14:1 glide ratio, the aircraft can traverse significant distances silently and efficiently, minimizing power use and extending operational endurance.
  • Simple Flight Controls Operated with only two elevons and a front puller motor, ensuring easy to learn intuitive flight control and reducing maintenance complexity.
  • Scalable Design — Straightforward layout enables rapid field repair, operator training, and efficient domestic manufacturing.
