Drones & Low-Altitude Economy
Lightweight Boards That Stay Airborne
Flight controllers, ESCs, RF links and camera gimbals — where every gram and every millimeter matters. Rigid-flex and HDI that shrink weight without sacrificing reliability.
What We Build
From hobby quads to eVTOL and delivery UAVs.
Flight Controllers
Dense HDI boards packing IMU, MCU and sensor fusion into minimal area and weight.
ESCs & Power
Heavy-copper motor drives that dissipate heat while keeping mass down.
RF Datalinks & GPS
Controlled-impedance RF sections for telemetry, video and navigation.
Gimbals & Cameras
Rigid-flex assemblies that fold into tight, moving payloads without connectors.
Why AtlasPCB for Drones
Weight down, reliability up.
Weight Optimization
Rigid-flex eliminates connectors and cables — less mass, fewer failure points.
Miniaturization
HDI with 0.4mm BGA and via-in-pad fits more into every square centimeter.
Vibration-Rated
IPC Class 3 build options and reliability testing for high-vibration flight environments.
Engineering Review
Bend-radius, stackup and DFM checked before build so your flex zones survive folding.
Key PCB Requirements
- Rigid-flex to cut weight and connectors
- HDI (0.4mm BGA, via-in-pad) for density
- Controlled impedance for RF and video links
- IPC Class 3 reliability for vibration/thermal cycling

FAQ
Drone PCB FAQ
Yes. Replacing board-to-board connectors and wiring harnesses with integrated flex cuts mass and removes the connectors that most often fail under vibration.
It depends on flex thickness and static vs. dynamic bending; we verify your bend radius against IPC-2223 during engineering review and advise on stackup.
Yes — we offer Rogers/PTFE and hybrid stackups with controlled impedance for telemetry, video and GNSS front-ends.
