ARGO HISTORY

The creation of ARGO-V was a natural progression for Juan Company who spent the better part of his life as an aviator. His passion for aviation began as a young boy, passed down from father to son. Juan grew up surrounded by the love of flight, his fathers work ethic, and the lessons learnt from countless hours building model planes, aircrafts that once built would effortlessly take flight in his imagination, kitchen counters and the dinner table.

Juan´s journey in aviation is a full one, at the age of 8 his father took him flying in an ultralight for the first time, a course was then set, one that would take Juan through extensive aeronautical training, from gliders all the way to becoming an accomplished civilian as well as military helicopter pilot.

It is this time spent in the military where Juan grows an interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV´s), the desire to understand this technology and the possibility to one day create them.

After several years of hard work, a highly skilled and accomplished group of individuals became a team. Each of us providing the essential pieces needed to reach our collectively goal of unmanned autonomous aerial flight. 

We must now let the machines step up and work for humanity.
