Robert Jonker, Clear Flight Solutions

Clear Flight Solutions, established in 2012, is the first and only company in the world that has developed the Robird® a flapping wing drone in the shape of a Peregrine Falcon to prevent bird strikes in aviation and for bird control in general. As birds are intelligent creatures they habituate to all non-life-threatening bird control systems. Even silhouette alone is not sufficient. Birds know that gliding predators do not hunt. At the moment Clear Flight Solutions is operating in the USA, Canada, the UK, France and Switzerland.

Robert Jonker, Co-founder of Clear Flight Solutions graduated at the Design Academy in Eindhoven the Netherlands. After his studies he worked for International Design firms in the UK. Afterwards Robert started his own design agency de Heller Design back in the Netherlands. Together with two colleagues he started working on the development of flapping wing systems out of curiosity to see if copying birds flight is possible.
