About Us

Bigfoot Air is pioneering the future of safe redundant hybrid powered heavy-lift, long-range unmanned and manned aerial systems (UAS+). Founded in the heart of the Texas woods, Bigfoot Air designs and manufactures cutting edge advanced hybrid-powered VTOL aircraft capable of carrying significant payloads over extended distances — missions that traditional battery powered drones cannot achieve.

Our flagship platforms, including the Cicada Class , Texas Two Step, and Bigfoot Models are engineered to deliver over 100-lb payloads over 300 miles, making them ideal for offshore logistics, emergency response, infrastructure support, and beyond. By combining cutting-edge aeronautical design with hybrid propulsion technology, Bigfoot Air offers the endurance of manned aircraft with the flexibility and efficiency of unmanned systems.

Bigfoot Air is working on partnerships with leading research institutions, and collaborations with state and federal agencies to ensure compliance with FAA Part 107 and the emerging Part 108 frameworks. Our focus is not only on performance but also on safety, reliability, and operational readiness for real-world missions in challenging environments.

At its core, Bigfoot Air is driven by a simple belief: large-scale UAS should expand human capability, not replace it. From delivering vital supplies across the Gulf of Mexico to enabling rapid disaster response, our aircraft are designed to extend the reach of communities, industries, and emergency responders.

Bigfoot Air's Found and CEO grew up in an aviation family and is a 3rd generation aviator. Back in the day, Lukes father would take him up in the family owned modified Aeronca Champ and execute aerobatic loops to Luke's content. His nickname was Loopty Luke due to his love of avaiation. Later in life, Luke Parker graduated from Texas A&M (Whoop!) with an Ocean engineering degree specializing in materials, construction, and fluid dynamics and pursued a hydraulics based career in offshore subsea oil and gas. Luke also obtained his Texas Professional engineering license in hydraulics, powerplants and fluid dynamics. Throughout his life, Luke has pursued private aviation with his family and developed a keen love for remote controlled aircraft over the years and has to this day, an extensive collection of RC aircraft. With this experience, Luke plans to lift off with Bigfoot Air in a big way by combining his engineering background and aviation experience with the latest cutting edge technologies spanning multiple industries including 3d modeling & printing, AI automation, Flight Control, Telecommunications, aerodynamics, hydraulics, mechanics, data transport, analytics, real time monitoring, digital twins, materials science, and ultra light weight powerplants and energy management systems. We look forward to see where Luke takes the company and if he achieves his goal of flying over Houston traffic instead of sitting in it. "One Bigfoot Step at at time".
