The drone

Engineered to clean from the air.

A platform built in two stages — a tethered soft-wash system suited to commercial facades today, and an autonomous system designed for the Gulf's hardest staining.

AeroClean drone airframe in the lab
Stage one · Available

Tethered soft-wash drone

A tethered aerial platform that delivers a controlled, low-pressure soft-wash to commercial glass and cladding — fed continuously with purified water for a streak-free finish, with no crews leaving the ground.

  • Gentle soft-wash that protects seals, coatings, and glass
  • Reverse-osmosis / deionized water dries spot-free, no detergent residue
  • Power and water delivered continuously over one managed tether
  • Corrosion-grade wetted parts for cleaning-solution compatibility
Stage two · In development

Autonomous contact-scrub drone

The next stage is a drone that holds steady, regulated brush pressure against the glass to lift baked-on dust and hard-water staining a rinse can't remove — and finds its own way across the facade. It's the heart of what makes AeroClean suited to the Gulf, and it's actively in development.

/ contact

Steady pressure

Maintains consistent brush force against the surface as wind and the facade change.

/ navigation

Finds its own way

Navigates across the facade on its own, without relying on GPS between towers.

/ purpose-built

For Gulf staining

Targets the sand and mineral staining a simple rinse leaves behind.

How it works

The hard part is staying steady against the wall.

Flying through open air is one problem; holding a precise position against a moving, windy facade is another. That control is the core of our engineering.

/ position

Holds the facade

The drone keeps a precise, safe standoff from the glass and stays locked to the building — using on-board LiDAR and cameras rather than GPS, which is unreliable between towers.

/ coverage

Maps the surface

It recognizes windows, frames, and edges to plan complete, repeatable coverage — so every panel is reached and nothing is missed.

/ contact

Adapts its pressure

For scrubbing, the drone modulates its own force against the glass, holding contact steady as the surface and wind change.

AeroClean's multi-axis test rig with a glass sample
Proven before it flies

Validated on a purpose-built test bed.

Before any cleaning behavior reaches a real building, it's proven on our own test rig against real glass samples — so what flies has already been verified on the ground.
