Phase 0 · Chennai · 2026
One sentence in.
A formation flies.
FlyMax is a Claude-powered orchestrator for drone swarms. You type a goal in English. A reasoning model decomposes it into a typed MissionPlan, dispatches the legs to one or many drones, watches for completion, and recovers on failure. Sim before silicon. Backend-agnostic. MIT.
The stack
The repo gives away the substrate. The company sells the wrap. The drones are interchangeable effectors, not the product.
LAYER 4 — RaaS WRAP
Inspection-per-day · Delivery-per-trip · Sim / RPC training SaaS
LAYER 1 — ORCHESTRATOR
Claude + skills · English in → typed MissionPlan · auditable. Same brain as our RCM agents.
LAYER 2 — ROBOTICS OS
ROS 2 Humble · Crazyswarm2 · Gazebo Harmonic · PX4 / MAVSDK · ArduPilot
LAYER 3 — EFFECTORS / IoT
Crazyflie 2.1+ → Pixhawk hex → hybrid VTOL → 1-seat eVTOL

Four tracks. One stack.
We don’t just ship an orchestrator. We ship the community, the public registry, and the operator console alongside it. Live tracks:
Hardware + Sim
/sim — the orchestrator made visible
Type an English mission. Watch up to 7 drones fly it in 3D. Same MissionPlan schema as the engine.
Community
/community — Pilots Hub
Pilots · Builders · Buyers · Use-Cases. The drone community India doesn’t have yet.
Registry
/registry — Public Drone Registry
Voluntary, India-first. UIN hashed. Phase 2 adds live GPS + lost-drone search.
Plan
/roadmap — 4 tracks, every box runnable
Hardware Phase 0→6 · Surface S0→S4 · Community C0→C4 · Registry R0→R4.
Not a joke. Not a deck.
Type a mission at /sim. If you can read the MissionPlan that comes back, you understand the entire company. Then come build the next layer with us.
