Veyda Spectre V2
Spectre V2 is a high-speed UAV with a compact missile-form airframe, built for dual-attitude flight, extreme speed, and aggressive aerodynamic performance.
200 MPH-CLASS SPEED TARGET
Designed around a high-speed nose-first flight profile, with Spectre V1 already reaching 221 km/h before the V2 rebuild.
8.3:1 THRUST-TO-WEIGHT
Designed for aggressive high-speed flight, Spectre V2's propulsion system boasts 9.92kg of thrust.
8S POWER SYSTEM
Built around an 8S / 29.6V electrical architecture for high-output FPV propulsion.
100° CAMERA-EYE MECHANISM
Nose-mounted geared camera-eye mechanism bound to pilot control for remote angle adjustment.
1.2 kg READY-TO-FLY
Compact 1200 g RTF platform integrating propulsion, battery, airframe, control electronics, and vision hardware.

About
Built to survive reality.
Veyda Labs is an independent R&D lab building at the intersection of aerospace, robotics, AI perception, biometrics, and experimental hardware.
The lab is not defined by one invention, one iteration, or one product life cycle. It is a refusal of entropy: a persistent engine for turning emerging technology into working systems that fly, sense, compute, adapt, and endure contact with the real world.
Some projects become products. Some become public demos. Some remain internal research. Each one expands the technical foundation for the next.
