Virabelo provides an operating system that translates aviation regulations and safety frameworks into machine‑readable code, enabling autonomous drones to operate within compliant, auditable airspace. By treating airspace as shared infrastructure, the platform supports operators from initial BVLOS flights under Part 107 through scaling to nationwide Part 108‑compliant missions, embedding risk management and compliance directly into flight operations.

Problem
Drone operators must navigate increasingly complex aviation regulations, such as the transition from Part 107 to Part 108, which introduce extensive safety management, documentation, and compliance requirements. This regulatory burden makes it difficult to scale autonomous flight operations safely and efficiently across larger airspace.
Solution
Virabelo offers an operating system that translates global standards, U.S. regulations, and safety frameworks into machine‑readable code, allowing autonomous aircraft to execute compliant flight plans automatically. By treating airspace as a shared, observable infrastructure, the platform embeds safety cases, risk management, and compliance checks directly into the operational workflow. Operators can start with basic BVLOS missions under Part 107 and progressively scale to enterprise‑wide, nationwide deployments under Part 108 without manual re‑engineering of compliance processes. The system provides continuous auditability and real‑time monitoring, ensuring that every flight adheres to the required regulatory and safety constraints.
Target Audience
Primary customers are drone operators and aviation companies that need to conduct BVLOS missions and scale to large‑scale autonomous operations while meeting Part 107 and Part 108 regulatory requirements.
Features
- Automated conversion of regulatory texts (e.g., Part 107, Part 108) into executable logic for autonomous flight controllers
- Integrated safety case and risk‑management engine that enforces compliance throughout the mission lifecycle
- Scalable airspace management layer that treats the sky as a shared, observable infrastructure with real‑time monitoring and audit trails
- Support for incremental adoption, enabling operators to transition from simple BVLOS flights to complex, nationwide operations
- API and SDK for seamless integration with existing drone hardware, flight planning tools, and enterprise systems
