The sky is now a sport.

Indoor drone racing and full-contact battle. A netted arena, two purpose-built drones and an app that keeps score. Walk in, take the controls, fly for your team.

Drone racing has lived on YouTube and in empty car parks. We're bringing it indoors — netted, sensor-refereed and built for spectators — and turning it into a sport anyone can walk in and play.

01 — Arena

A stadium the size of a tennis court.

144 m² of enclosed airspace. Positioning anchors, overhead referee cameras and gate sensors turn every flight into a fair, scored, replayable match.

Plan view of the arena with numbered systems: positioning anchors, team bases, central gate and referee vision, charge bay and safety envelope. BASE A BASE B GATE CHARGE BAY 1 2 3 4 5

  1. 1

    Positioning anchors

    Eight anchors ring the arena and locate every drone continuously, so position, hits and gate passes are judged by sensors, not guesswork.

  2. 2

    Team bases

    Spawn, respawn and reset. Drones authenticate and calibrate here before they're cleared to arm.

  3. 3

    Gate and referee vision

    Overhead cameras watch the whole field, back up every call and feed the spectator broadcast.

  4. 4

    Charge bay

    Hot-swap batteries and serviceable shells keep the next round in the air within minutes.

  5. 5

    Safety envelope

    Full netting, interlocked doors, an emergency stop and thermal monitoring. Pilots and spectators stay outside the net.

05 — Founding minutes

One arena. A capped founding run.

Arena 01 can only fly so many pilots in its opening month, so the founding run is capped to match. Pay once, fly when we open, at the lowest rate SkyArena will ever offer. When a pack sells out, it's gone.

06 — Questions

How do flight minutes work?

Your pack is stored as a minute balance in your SkyArena account. Each booking deducts the time you fly, roughly five minutes per round, and you can split it across as many sessions as you like.

Why is the founding run limited?

Arena 01 is one 12 × 12 m arena. We've capped founding packs at what it can fly in its opening month, so every founder actually gets to play. The caps won't be raised; after the founding run, minutes go on sale at the public rate.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Unused founding minutes are fully refundable, no questions asked, until Arena 01 opens.

Do I need to know how to fly?

No. Every first session starts with guided training, and assisted flight modes keep first-timers in the game. Experienced pilots can switch them off.

Where and when does Arena 01 open?

We're finalising the venue now. Founders hear the location and opening date first, before any public announcement.

Is it safe?

Pilots and spectators stay outside a fully netted arena. Drones are guarded or caged, and the arena has interlocked doors, an emergency stop and continuous monitoring.

Can I buy a Phantom or Striker?

Not yet. Both are in prototype and are flown in the arena. Minutes buy arena time, not hardware.

Founders fly first.
