Open is trust. Execution is the moat.
We build drone hardware in the open — schematics, prices and process you can actually see.
FPV hardware is too often a black box at a markup. We do the opposite: publish the schematics, charge honest prices, and engineer in-house so the quality is ours to stand behind. Open isn’t a gimmick — it’s how you earn trust.
Exotherm is built in public by a founder who flies what he builds. Every design, test and failure shows up in the Journal — on camera, with the real numbers.
“Flow State” is the dual we chase: the focus of building hardware that’s right, and the feeling of a clean line in the air. The brand is named for both.
We build on the open-source ecosystem and credit our sources. Learn from ours, build your own, or buy ready-made — see what’s in development in the Journal.
