Leti / Long-term vision
The charging layer for the sky.
A shared network of drone ports and one open fitting, so any drone can land, charge and fly on, wherever it works.
51.3758° N
2.3599° W
01 / The vision
Drones should recharge the way lorries refuel: at shared stations along the way, whoever owns them.
02 / Inside the port
Everything moves under the deck.
Drones land on a sealed surface with no moving parts above it. Underneath, magnetic carriers run on drive tiles and bring each drone to a charging coil.

03 / The long-term plan
Horizon 1
A national network
Matching ports in UK cities and along rail and utility corridors, open to every operator.
Horizon 2
Ports wherever drones work
Hospitals, depots, substations, warehouses and farms, from rooftop decks to large hubs.
Horizon 3
One standard
The foot plate becomes the common fitting, so long routes can hop from port to port.
Horizon 4
Worldwide
The same network and standard in other countries, starting with the UAE.
04 / The hub
A hub port at full scale.
Drones from different operators landing, charging and launching at the same time.
05 / One fitting
Built in at the factory.
Magnet · Charging coil · Any airframe
Our long-term aim: drone makers fit the foot plate before a drone ships, so every new drone is ready for the network.
06 / From Bath to everywhere
From one port in Bath to every sky.
Vision, not current operations.
