Engineering autonomous flight.
Tustin Dynamics develops flight-control hardware, autopilot integration and advanced control solutions for unmanned aircraft.
Tustin Dynamics is built by a master's-and-doctoral team with global perspective, elite academic training and deep engineering expertise. Our core members come from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beihang University, Northwestern Polytechnical University and EPFL. Every team member was educated at a Project 211 university or an equivalent top-tier international institution, and our core members bring nearly a decade of experience in aerospace engineering and flight-control system development.
Shared purpose makes no distance too great.
We work across the complete autonomous-flight technology stack, from flight-control electronics and embedded autopilots to control algorithms and system integration. We turn advanced research into testable, deployable and production-ready solutions for multicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, VTOL platforms and compact helicopters.
We do more than build products: we help shape the global open-source flight ecosystem. As contributors to ArduPilot, PX4, NuttX, QGroundControl and MAVLink, our work spans flight software, embedded systems and technical standards. Our team drove the complete integration of China's new national UAV Remote ID standard into MAVLink, while Tustin Mach has entered both the ArduPilot and PX4 communities; INAV and Betaflight support is planned, demonstrating our ability to carry technology from standards and software through to flight-ready hardware.
From board-level hardware to flight validation, we build the complete technology chain required to turn advanced flight-control research into dependable, production-ready aircraft systems.

A multi-channel redundant flight-control architecture planned for higher fault tolerance and mission continuity.
Planned support for FMT and model-based design (MBD), enabling control engineers to generate deployable code from MATLAB/Simulink models, reduce reliance on low-level hand coding and move algorithms more quickly into hardware validation and flight testing.
We work with customers and partners across universities, research institutions and industry to advance flight control, autonomous systems and unmanned aircraft technologies.
Tustin Dynamics and Huai'an University have signed an agreement to establish an off-campus training base. The partnership brings our end-to-end engineering capabilities in flight-control hardware, embedded systems, autonomous flight and aircraft validation into student internships, hands-on engineering, project-based training and the development of industry-ready technical talent.
