Drone Airflow Cleaning
AIr™ is the patented drone airflow cleaning technology that uses a drone’s own rotor wash for waterless, non-contact surface maintenance.
Unlike water- or brush-based approaches, drone airflow cleaning enables compatible aircraft to perform maintenance work without carrying water, brushes, or a dedicated cleaning payload.
Autonomous airflow removal of dust preserves energy yield across PV arrays and CSP mirrors — without water, chemicals, or surface abrasion.
AIr™ · ION enhances the patented method by entraining ions directly into the drone’s rotor downwash — weakening the electrostatic and surface adhesion of fine dust that bulk airflow alone cannot dislodge.
Clears loose dust or removes the residual water film left by wash-spray drones — restoring facade transparency without manual wiping at heights.
Zero Payload.
Infinite Applications.
Designed for surfaces where liquid use, abrasion, or manual access are constrained, AIr™ introduces a new approach to infrastructure cleaning.
Removes dust and loose snow from greenhouse panels to maximize light transmission, and clears snow accumulation from high-value crop canopies.
Applicable to the cleaning of vital sensors and solar panels in harsh extraterrestrial environments to help maintain mission-critical performance.
