Why is this drone company named Topxgun?
On May 27, 2022, the long-awaited movie Top Gun : Maverick will be released in North America. 36 years after Top Gun became a blockbuster, this sequel movie will again bring immersive visual experience of air combat to worldwide fans.
As the movie is becoming a heated-discussed topic, more and more Topxgun users and partners are curious about the story between the company name and the movie. Zhang Yu, the founder of Topxgun Robotics Co., Ltd. Mr. Zhang recalled the influence of the Top Gun spirit on the whole company from its establishment.
Passion for the UAV Industry
With no suprise, Mr. Zhang is a super fan of the movie Top Gun. He cited a famous line in the Top Gun movie with excitement :"I guess when I see something, I go right after it."
With this passion, Mr. Zhang founded Topxgun in 2015 with a group of young men who share the same dream of flying. Inspired by the movie, they decided to name the company Topxgun. Anyone familiar with the movie knows that Top Gun is the top fighter school and Topxgun bears the hope that the company will stand out in the drone industry. The X pattern in the middle of the logo is the rotating propeller, which also indicates the infinite possibilities of the company.
On May 4, 2015, these young men established Topxgun Robotics Co., Ltd. Two years later, Topxgun (Nanjing) Robotic Co., Ltd. was registered on January 12, 2018.
Fearless to Challenges
Mr. Zhang said: "When Topxgun chose to enter the drone industry, we were facing the pressure from the leading companies in the industry . However, we see that a huge demand and opportunity are waiting for us". Topxgun kept striving for a place in the drone industry with a fearless attitude like the line in the movie "What you do up there, it's dangerous, but you've got to go on."
From the research and development of flight control ( "brain of drones") to the technology accumulation in the field of large-scale drones, Topxgun believe "no pains, no gains". When they learned there was demand in the plant protection drone market, Topxgun took the challenge immediately. Meanwhile, Topxgun expands the product line to drones for inspection, surveying and logistics, aiming at providing drone solutions for a wide scope of industries.
By 2022, Topxgun has launched four generations of agricultural drones from the T series, F series, TG series to the FP series. The products have be distributed to 400+ domestic and 100+ overseas clients since 2015. Topxgun STAR-650 logistics drone is conducting test flights with SF Express, a renowned international courier service. For Topxgun people, plenty of drone application scenarios are still waiting for us to explore.
Weapon to Ensure Success: Professionalism
Talking about the actors in this movie, Mr. Zhang said: “Besides the dream of flying, the movies touches us deeply by the professionalism and dedication demonstrated by the actors. This is just what we value and share in Topxgun. ”

Quality control is another section that obtained top attention and effort. Every member in Topxgun is trying their best to serve the users with their own speciality and professional skills.
In the trailer of Top Gun 2, Maverick (played by Tom Cruise) returned to the army after more than 30 years. The general asked: "You should be at least a two-star admiral by now. Yet, here you are. Captain, why is that?" "It's one of life's mysteries, sir," Maverick said with a firm look.
Topxgun team started a business with passion and will always bear in mind why they embarked the journey. At the company yearly meeting of 2021, Mr. Zhang said to all the Topxgun staff: "The development of the enterprise can be filled with twists and turns, but we are full of confidence. While we are moving forward in full stride, I hope everyone here could remain true to our original aspiration. "
