We Are
Noble Aerotech
OUR MISSION
We keep drone fleets secure, compliant, and field-ready by delivering American-made systems maintained with the same discipline and accountability as manned aircraft.
WHY WE EXIST
An Industry Growing Fast
Without the Standards to Match
Unmanned aviation is expanding rapidly, but it's missing the infrastructure that keeps manned aircraft safe. Growers and operators are buying drones with no maintenance plans. Fleets sit grounded for weeks over basic repairs. And the platforms dominating the market are foreign-manufactured, raising real concerns about parts availability, long-term support, and data security for the operations that depend on them.
The gap wasn't another drone reseller; the industry had plenty. What was missing was a partner who could deliver secure, U.S. made platforms and sustain them with the same rigor applied to manned aircraft. Based in Oregon, serving the Pacific Northwest. That's why Noble AeroTech exists.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Michael Hayes
FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
After several years working across aviation, from commercial airlines and private jets to flight schools, firefighting, and utility helicopters, Michael recognized that drones and AI represent the future of the industry. At the same time, he saw how foreign-subsidized manufacturers had come to dominate the global drone market, leaving growers and operators exposed on parts, support, and data security.
With his background as an FAA-certificated Airframe & Powerplant mechanic, Michael also saw that unmanned aviation lacked the maintenance discipline that manned aircraft require. That gap inspired Noble AeroTech: a company that combines U.S. made drone platforms with aviation-level standards of service, compliance, and readiness; ensuring fleets aren't just purchased but kept field-ready with the same rigor as traditional aircraft.
FAA A&P Mechanic
Certificated Airframe & Powerplant mechanic qualified to make airworthiness determinations on aircraft systems.
FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot
Fully licensed for commercial drone operations under federal regulations.
FAA Part 137 Ag Operations
Certified for commercial agricultural aircraft operations, including drone spray application.
Oregon Licensed Applicator & Operator
Holds the Oregon licenses required for commercial pesticide application and operator work.
Professional Aviation Background
Hands-on experience across commercial airlines, private jet charter operations, utility and firefighting helicopters and flight schools.
Fully Insured & Registered
Complete liability coverage and a fully registered aircraft for every service engagement and operation.
In manned aviation, we determine whether an aircraft is legally safe to fly by certifying its airworthiness. Most drones don't require that yet, but we believe the standard shouldn't drop just because the pilot isn't on board.

The Problem
What drone operators are up against
Drones grounded for weeks while shipped back to the manufacturer for basic repairs
No local partner for ongoing maintenance, support, or emergency service
Foreign-made fleets with uncertain parts availability, support, and data security
Zero aviation-grade documentation, leaving programs exposed during reviews, audits and post-incident scrutiny
Vendors who disappear after the sale, with no plan for long-term fleet readiness

What we do differently
Authorized Hylio dealer and service center, sales and in-house service under one roof
Local, in-house maintenance from an FAA-certificated A&P mechanic

Long-term partnership, including training, consulting, integration, and support that doesn't end at the sale
Oregon-Based. Pacific Northwest Focused.
Local depot-level service for the organizations that need it most.
OUR VALUES
WHAT DRIVES US
Every decision we make runs through these five principles.
Readiness Above All
Fleets must be ready to fly at all times. Our service model is built around uptime, because when the spray window opens or the field needs flying, your aircraft needs to be in the air, not on a shelf waiting for parts.
Aviation-Grade Discipline
We apply the same rigor, safety standards, and professionalism used in manned aviation. In the air, there is no room for "good enough," and we bring that same zero-fail mentality to unmanned systems.
Trust Through Security
We deliver American-made platforms that safeguard your operation's data and give you a dependable domestic supply chain. Every platform we support is vetted for security, build quality, and long-term reliability.
Accountability & Transparency
Audit-ready documentation, clear service guarantees, and honest communication at every step. You'll always know the status of your fleet, your compliance, and your investment.
Customer Partnership
We don't just sell drones; we sustain long-term success. We operate as an extension of your team, invested in your program's performance well beyond the initial sale.
WHERE WE'RE GOING
Setting the National Standard for How Drones Are Sustained
Our goal is to shift the industry from one-off sales to aviation-grade fleet readiness. By proving that U.S. made drones can be maintained with the same rigor as manned aircraft, we aim to build lasting trust in unmanned systems across agriculture; ensuring they become dependable tools of everyday operations for the growers and operators who rely on them, not just expensive gadgets collecting dust.
