Terra Drone

Products: industrial-drone. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 40.0/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 100th percentile of 171 drones evtol companies.

Analyst brief

Terra Drone's record consists of two closely dated December 2025 entries tied to one underlying event: a suspected battery fire at its Indonesia facility that killed 22 people, and the subsequent arrest of the company's CEO as a named suspect in that fire. Both rows carry the maximum severity score of 5. The index of 40.3 and percentile of 100 place Terra Drone at the top of the drones-evtol category, driven by the combination of a mass-casualty fire and a regulatory/criminal action naming an executive, not by incident volume. The record is a single catastrophic event followed by its legal consequence, not a recurring pattern, and it is regulator/press-driven given the CEO's arrest by authorities.
