Pyka is an aerospace company from Alameda, California, that builds autonomous aircraft. Its line includes Pelican, an electric crop-spraying aircraft, and DropShip, a Group 3+ cargo drone that delivers critical supplies to remote and contested areas. For the website, Pyka needed technical animations driven by scroll.
Each scroll step moves the camera around the aircraft and pauses on one key system: the modular cargo bay, precision airdrop, the reconfigurable mission computer, hybrid propulsion and short takeoff. Each stop is paired with a short spec on screen, so a visitor learns how the aircraft works just by scrolling.
Every scroll step began as a grey previs that locked the camera and the key moments. Final light and materials came after.
The autonomy, made visible. Pyka.StateEstimator takes in LiDAR, radar, inertial units, GPS and air data and fuses them into one picture: pose, location on a 3D map and system health. Light runs from every sensor into the chip, so the idea reads at a glance.
A ten-second loop on how the aircraft stays connected in the field: to the local operator, to remote support and through satellite.
