Event 38 designs and manufactures fixed-wing VTOL drones in Richfield, Ohio. Since 2011, we've sold over 600 drones to businesses, governments, and NGOs all around the globe.
Our aircraft capture geo-tagged data for a wide range of industries — from intelligence and surveillance to high-resolution photogrammetry, thermal imaging, multispectral analysis, and LiDAR. And because no two missions are alike, every drone we build is highly customizable, ready to be retrofitted with the sensors and systems your mission demands.
Every drone integrates seamlessly with our user-friendly Ground Control software, so you've got eyes in the sky throughout every mission — without needing specialty training, tools, or a long runway.
Made in the USA. Every drone is designed, assembled, and tested at our headquarters in Richfield, Ohio — giving us total visibility over design, engineering, and quality control from day one.
No one's opinion matters more to us than yours. Our drones are shaped by what you need — your missions, your challenges, your feedback. If you're happy, we're happy.
We're on a mission to break down barriers between drone technology and you. No specialty training, no special tools, no long runway required. Event 38 drones are user-friendly and deployable anywhere.
Our drones have monitored wildfires, delivered life-saving medications, and mapped vast wilderness areas in days. Every drone we make helps you collect better data, make faster decisions, and achieve more.
Every new drone and software system is built on what we learned from the last. Our design, engineering, and manufacturing teams share one building — and one standard of quality.

Jeff leads the Event 38 team and is personally involved in the engineering and design of every drone we make. He regularly collaborates with industry partners, universities, and government agencies to research cutting-edge drone applications and technologies.
His interest in autonomous flight began in college, where he contributed to autopilot development through DIY Drones. After earning his degree in aerospace engineering from Case Western Reserve University, he joined SpaceX — where he designed and tested avionics for Falcon 9 and Dragon — and later served as Director of R&D at 3D Robotics, leading development of their first multirotor drone.
Jeff is a licensed pilot and flies a Mooney M20J.
Mathew joined Event 38 in 2015 as an intern focused on autopilot and ground control systems R&D. Over the years he's developed custom software functions, designed drones from the ground up, and consulted on major customer projects.
Today, he directs the high-level hardware and software decisions that ensure Event 38's products meet the evolving needs of our customers and the broader drone market. Mathew holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Akron.
From federal agencies to leading research institutions and industry technology partners, Event 38 drones power missions around the globe.
