Sonin Hybrid is developing patented hybrid-powered UAV technology intended to extend the endurance and mission capability of tactical multirotor aircraft. The company's flagship Recruit platform is designed for public safety, defense/ISR, disaster response, agriculture, and industrial applications where payload capacity, maneuverability, and longer useful time over the mission matter. Sonin Hybrid is focused on strategic partnership, licensing, manufacturing, payload-integration, and commercialization opportunities with qualified organizations interested in advancing long-endurance hybrid UAV capability.
Sonin Hybrid is developing patented hybrid-powered UAV technology intended to extend the endurance and mission capability of tactical multirotor aircraft. The company's flagship Recruit platform is designed to preserve the agility, hover capability, vertical takeoff, and constrained-area deployment advantages of multirotors while supporting longer missions and meaningful sensor payloads. Sonin Hybrid is positioned for public safety, defense/ISR, disaster response, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and industrial applications where payload capacity, maneuverability, and usable time over the mission all matter. The company is open to strategic partnership, licensing, manufacturing, payload-integration, and commercialization discussions with qualified organizations.
Sonin Hybrid is developing patented hybrid-powered UAV technology for the missing middle between short-duration tactical multirotors and large fixed-wing endurance aircraft. Its Recruit platform is designed to preserve vertical takeoff, hover, maneuverability, and payload flexibility while extending useful mission time for public safety, defense/ISR, disaster response, agriculture, and industrial applications.

Sonin Hybrid is developing patented hybrid-powered multirotor UAV technology for missions where vertical access, payload utility, and longer useful time over the mission all matter.

As air taxis, eVTOLs, and advanced air mobility aircraft move from renderings to flight tests, the industry is running into the same tradeoff that has shaped the drone market for years.

An industry analysis of the gap between tactical multirotors and large fixed-wing UAVs — and how the Recruit platform sits in the missing middle.
Curtis Foster is the Founder & CEO of Sonin Hybrid, a UAV technology company developing patented hybrid-powered multirotor aircraft concepts for public safety, defense, ISR, disaster response, agriculture, and industrial applications.
Curtis brings a cross-disciplinary background spanning software, systems thinking, entrepreneurship, and aerospace innovation. Prior to Sonin Hybrid, he founded and operated Nested Technologies, a SaaS / software company that served major enterprise clients, including Fortune 500 organizations.
At Sonin Hybrid, Curtis led the development of the Recruit, a compact hybrid-powered multirotor UAV concept designed to address a key gap in the drone market: the need for aircraft that preserve the agility, hover capability, and vertical takeoff advantages of multirotors while extending endurance beyond typical battery-only limitations.
Sonin Hybrid's technology is supported by a portfolio of UAV-related patent filings and granted patents. Curtis is currently focused on strategic partnership, licensing, manufacturing, payload-integration, and commercialization opportunities with organizations interested in advancing long-endurance hybrid UAV capability.
