Kenta Hayashi is an aviation and UAS leader with nine years of hands-on experience spanning aircraft maintenance for B777/B787 at All Nippon Airways and five years building commercial UAS operations and business development. As CEO of AIR WINGS LLC and former Director of Strategic Programs at Spright, he combines regulatory know-how—holding FAA & JCAB commercial pilot licenses with instrument multi-engine ratings—with practical BVLOS experience (500+ UAS flight cycles, 200+ hours under JCAB waivers). He’s an instructor-trained maintenance engineer who translated deep ATA-level systems knowledge into airline procedures and safety manuals, then pivoted that rigor into mission planning, risk assessment, and waiver procurement for delivery drones and eVTOLs. Based in Edogawa, Japan, Kenta is an advanced Wingcopter 178HL operator who uniquely bridges heavy-aircraft engineering discipline with agile UAS program execution and productization.
