About Baxter Aerospace
A Mission to Clear the Air
Baxter Aerospace started January 15, 2016, in Hillsboro, Oregon with the mission of clearing the air.
Jeff Baxter and Michael Baxter, brothers and co-founders, developed a desire to fight rapid spreading wildfires after witnessing a fire near Portland, Oregon that put their lives and homes at risk. The last-minute evacuation and fear of the not knowing whether they would have a home to return too sparked a thought:
“How can we prevent wildfires from causing so much destruction?”
They decided to take action to lessoning the spread of wildfires by and designing and developing of the Dragonfly.
Expanding Beyond Wildfire Prevention
Jeff and Michael spent five years working on this project, along with Josh Dixon, their production Tzar. In 2020, the three of them left their full-time jobs and started working on projects around the United States which later moved them to St. George, UT. They have continued working toward their mission of clearing the air by contributing to nuclear fusion, satellite communication systems, and spacecraft manufacturing, all while developing the Dragonfly.
