About Aerodrome Systems

01 · Positioning

Designed to integrate, not replace.

The architecture sits upstream of existing surface and airspace management systems. It is intended to live alongside the infrastructure that already moves aircraft, contributing predictive state rather than disrupting workflow.

01

Built on the ramp

The architecture originated from thirteen years of operational air traffic control experience. Surface-state optimization is not a research thesis; it is a problem the founder watched unfold across every major airport in the NAS.

02

Integration over replacement

Designed as a complementary layer rather than a competing tool. The system is intended to live alongside TFDM, A-SMGCS, and existing surface management infrastructure, contributing predictive state rather than disrupting workflow.

03

Validated, not theorized

Monte Carlo simulation across 3,600 replications per airport, executed against BTS-calibrated baselines across major U.S. hubs. Methodology is documented.

02 · Founder

Built by a working air traffic controller.

TYLER HANSEN · FOUNDER

Tyler Hansen

Tyler Hansen is a thirteen-year air traffic controller spanning five different airports and operational complexities. The architecture behind Aerodrome Systems originated from operational experience in the tower, observing the same surface inefficiencies repeat across millions of operations.

Aerodrome Systems LLC was formed in 2026 to commercialize the underlying patent. The architecture is filed with the USPTO under Track One examination via Fish & Richardson, and is being introduced to defense primes and ATM integrators on a deliberate, NDA-gated basis.

Tyler holds active credentials at a Class C facility with combined tower and approach control operations, and continues to work the floor while building the company.

03 · Experience

Thirteen years across five facilities.

Five distinct operational environments. Single-runway, multi-runway, joint civil-military, and combined tower and approach. The architecture is informed by patterns observed across all of them.

KNQX

NAS Key West (Boca Chica)

Three intersecting runways. Mixed military operations with field carrier landing practice.

KIDA

Idaho Falls Regional

Class D. Mountainous terrain. Intersecting flight paths.

KHWO

North Perry

Class D. Four intersecting parallels. Approximately 1,000 daily operations across thirteen flight schools, helicopter tour companies, news, banner tow, and a blimp field. Constant runway crossings.

TISX

Henry E. Rohlsen

International Class D single-runway. Seasonal VIP presidential operations. Island-style VFR.

KRSW

Southwest Florida Intl

Class C. Second busiest single-runway operation in the United States. Limited taxiway maneuverability based on runway assignment.

04 · Intellectual property

Protected and prosecuting.

The architecture is the subject of a pending United States utility patent application, filed under prioritized examination. Counsel is Fish & Richardson.

Application

USPTO 19/557,069

Patent Pending · Track One Examination · Filed 4 March 2026

Volume-weighted improvement concentrated at the highest-complexity airports in the National Airspace System.
