Sonin Hybrid

Sonin Hybrid is a US-based aerospace company that designs and builds long-endurance unmanned aircraft for defense, allied operations, maritime missions, public safety, and wildfire response. Its flagship Recruit Hybrid is a Group 2 vertical-takeoff-and-landing aircraft combining multirotor flexibility with fixed-wing endurance. A patented hybrid powerplant pairs a combustion-driven generator with electric motors and a buffer battery, enabling extended flight and target observation beyond typical battery-powered missions.

The Recruit supports applications including forward operations, Coast Guard interdiction, shipboard use, tactical fire mapping, and patrol overwatch. Its equipment includes HD and infrared imaging, optical zoom, LiDAR, object-detection capabilities, onboard AI computing, and communications systems. The platform also offers options such as drop tanks and mission-specific payloads.

Sonin Hybrid emphasizes domestic design, engineering, assembly, and testing, with components sourced from qualified US and allied suppliers. The company offers custom aircraft finishes and insignia to suit customer fleets.
