Phase In Development
01 / Project ARGUS
An aircraft built from the mission outward.
Project ARGUS is the first development program from Forge 21 Aeroworks, created to explore what a professional unmanned aircraft can become when the pilot, payload, and platform are treated as one system.
The objective is clear: develop a modular, pilot-centered aerial platform combining visibility, reliability, and mission flexibility in an aircraft built responsibly from the ground up.
02 / Platform architecture
Purpose in every system.
ARGUS H6 is being developed as an integrated aircraft, not a collection of accessories.
02
Modular payloads
A configurable payload interface intended to support imaging, illumination, communications, and future mission packages.
03
Situational visibility
A multi-camera approach focused on awareness around the aircraft while preserving clear, useful information for the pilot.
04
Pilot-centered control
Control behavior and flight profiles designed to remain predictable as payload, configuration, and mission demands change.
03 / Design principles
Three promises.
One platform.
See
Give the pilot meaningful visibility, useful perspective, and the information needed to make sound decisions.
Serve
Remain adaptable to real work through modular equipment and mission-focused configuration.
Return
Prioritize predictable behavior, system awareness, and responsible engineering throughout the aircraft.
04 / Development focus
Measured progress.
Documented decisions.

Development05 / About Forge 21
Independent thinking.
Disciplined development.
Forge 21 Aeroworks is an independent unmanned-aircraft development effort based in the Kansas City area. It exists to turn ambitious ideas into disciplined, testable systems, beginning with Project ARGUS.
Our approach starts with the mission and treats propulsion, power, flight control, payloads, visibility, operator awareness, serviceability, and safety as parts of one aircraft, not isolated additions.
Current work centers on research, system architecture, component evaluation, supplier collaboration, and mechanical integration planning. ARGUS remains in development; every published concept is subject to engineering validation, testing, and refinement.

Engineering collaboration
Building the right aircraft requires the right conversations.
Forge 21 Aeroworks welcomes technical dialogue with propulsion, battery, avionics, communications, fabrication, and integration specialists. Proprietary engineering materials are handled responsibly, and nondisclosure agreements are welcome.
