EU-built flight controller

AirBrain H743.
Any firmware. Every mission.

Compact 20×20 flight controller built around the STM32H7. Synchronised with an ICM-42688-P IMU for low-latency, low-noise flight on Betaflight, ArduPilot, and PX4.

3stacks

Upstream target in Betaflight, ArduPilot, and PX4. No vendor lock-in.

NDAA compliant

EU + US + JPBOM sourcing

Belgian assembly. Per-line supplier breakdown on request under NDA.

Clock-synced IMU

MCUdrives sample timing

STM32H7 clock drives the ICM-42688-P. No software interpolation between sample and PID.

Wide input range

3 to 10S(10 to 42 V)

Same board across compact race builds and heavy-lift cinema rigs.

In the field

Race cine FPV at Mugello

Mugello chase footage flown at 250 km/h on AirBrain H743 with stock Betaflight. Telemetry and blackbox logs were clean across the whole session.

The decisions that show up in flight logs.

Clock-synced IMU

The STM32H7 clock drives the ICM-42688-P sample timing directly, so there is no software interpolation between sensor read and the PID loop. The gain budget is wider before stick filtering needs to step in.

Isolated power rails

Sensor rails are physically separated from motor rails on the layout. Commutation noise from the ESCs does not couple back into the gyro path. Blackbox logs are cleaner at sustained high throttle.

Industrial-grade BOM

Components are sourced through EU, US, and Japanese channels and the board is NDAA compliant. A per-line supplier breakdown is available on request for integrators who need to certify.

EMC tested layout

Pre-compliance EMC sweeps are run on every revision before the BOM is locked. The board is tested against ESC, VTX, and RX coexistence on a real airframe, not just on the bench.

What partners build with it

6 platforms, one flight controller.

Race cine FPV

Cinematic FPV with predictable rates and ultra-low latency.

Long-range mapping

ArduPilot autonomy with reliable GPS + magnetometer fusion.

Industrial inspection

Survey-grade flights with PX4.

Research labs

Hardware target upstream in PX4 + ArduPilot.

Fixed-wing long-range

ArduPilot Plane on the same hardware target.

Custom airframes

Open hardware definition; extend without forking.

Product
STM32H7 MCU

NDAA, layer by layer

Procurement-grade evidence, not just a checkbox.

Section 889
Covered telecommunications equipment

Restricts federal agencies from procuring covered telecommunications equipment from designated foreign vendors. UAS components fall under follow-on provisions.

AirBrain: no designated covered-list vendors in the BOM.
Section 848
Covered foreign entities for UAS

Restricts federal agencies from procuring drones or drone components from covered foreign entities and their state-controlled affiliates. Effective 2025 for new federal procurement.

AirBrain: no critical components sourced from covered countries.
Section 1260H
DoD restricted-entity list

Annual DoD list of restricted foreign industrial entities. Federal procurement and capital-markets restrictions reference this list.

AirBrain: no listed entities in the supplier chain.
BOM transparency
Per-line attestation for integrators

Procurement-bound integrators need to show their own supply chain. We document every BOM line with manufacturer country of origin so you can roll our posture into yours.

AirBrain: available on request through a scoping engagement.
