Veyda Spectre V2 prototype on a dark lab bench

Flagship Platform

Veyda Spectre V2

Spectre V2 is a high-speed UAV with a compact missile-form airframe, built for dual-attitude flight, extreme speed, and aggressive aerodynamic performance.

200 MPH-CLASS SPEED TARGET

Designed around a high-speed nose-first flight profile, with Spectre V1 already reaching 221 km/h before the V2 rebuild.

8.3:1 THRUST-TO-WEIGHT

Designed for aggressive high-speed flight, Spectre V2's propulsion system boasts 9.92kg of thrust.

8S POWER SYSTEM

Built around an 8S / 29.6V electrical architecture for high-output FPV propulsion.

100° CAMERA-EYE MECHANISM

Nose-mounted geared camera-eye mechanism bound to pilot control for remote angle adjustment.

1.2 kg READY-TO-FLY

Compact 1200 g RTF platform integrating propulsion, battery, airframe, control electronics, and vision hardware.

About

Built to survive reality.

Veyda Labs is an independent R&D lab building at the intersection of aerospace, robotics, AI perception, biometrics, and experimental hardware.

The lab is not defined by one invention, one iteration, or one product life cycle. It is a refusal of entropy: a persistent engine for turning emerging technology into working systems that fly, sense, compute, adapt, and endure real world conditions.

Some projects become products. Some become public demos. Some remain internal research. Each one expands the technical foundation for the next.

Founded by Luke Voegeli.
