Aerial Rider or also known as the ZTYT Feixia Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2023. Its roots go back to its original company forming in 2001 which developed UAVs, aerial cameras and other technologies. The original company created and successfully tested a helicopter parachute system in 2014.
