About Meandair
Meandair builds on deep experience and research in computer science, AI algorithmics & robotics, and, of course, weather modeling and computation by its two founders, Dr. Peter Novák and Dr. Antonín Komenda.
Meandair B.V. was incorporated in 2018 and has a seat in Delft, the Netherlands, and also operates from many locales across Europe.
As of 2020 the company has a team of 9 R&D software engineers and sales staff; out of that are 4 accomplished scientists with advanced PhDs and 2 aviation meteorologists.
The Meandair Story
Dr. Peter Novák and Dr. Antonín Komenda met in 2009, collaborating on several research projects in robotics, AI and the algorithmics of collision avoidance of autonomous aircraft; many funded by the US Army's UAV programs. Developing approaches for multi-vehicle control in dynamically changing environments inspired them to look for practical applications of these advanced algorithmic techniques.
They realized quickly that the problem of avoiding evolving and moving adverse weather conditions, such as thunderstorms or clouds was a substantial issue for aviation professionals, And just as for UAVs, they discovered there was a gap in terms of the currency of weather reports for tactical decision making in aviation.
Meandair was born in 2018, as a deep-tech startup company; we use our extensive computational and algorithmic intelligence to develop a state-of-the-art nowcasting capacity and actionable advice and information to addresses tactical weather issues for Aviation.
