About
Griff Aviation is a Norwegian UAV manufacturer founded in 2015 in Sykkylven, on the west coast of Norway. The company grew out of experience in helicopter-based aerial filming, where its founders identified the gap between lightweight consumer drones and full-scale aircraft — a gap that heavy-lift unmanned platforms could fill for industrial, public safety and defence applications.
