xer Technologies stands at the forefront of developing robust multirotor drones tailored for rigorous commercial, industrial, and public safety tasks.
Our UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) systems, crafted in Europe, offer cutting-edge mission capabilities and valuable insights, boasting extended flight durations and payload capacities that surpass conventional UAVs, all while maintaining significantly lower operational costs and carbon emissions compared to helicopters or manned aircraft. These UAVs are engineered to adhere to stringent aerospace reliability and safety standards, facilitating complex Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.
X8 – Coaxial-Rotor Heavy-Duty Drone
Industrial UAV Featuring a Hybrid Power System
The X8 is a formidable multirotor drone, offering over 2.5 hours of flight time and a payload capacity of up to 7kg.
Utilizing a hybrid fuel-electric propulsion system, it serves as an optimal platform for extending flight endurance and operational range beyond the limits of conventional battery-powered drones.
The design of this UAV platform is informed by extensive operational experience, ensuring compliance with high aerospace reliability and safety standards, which are essential for executing complex BVLOS missions.
The robust hybrid-engine drone is designed for remarkable performance in challenging environments, including rain, snow, freezing temperatures, and wind gusts of up to 35 knots. its lightweight carbon-fiber frame features foldable rapid-release arms for convenient transport, allowing for rapid deployment and takeoff in just two minutes.
Flexible Configuration for Diverse Missions
The X8 platform is adaptable to meet various operational needs. with integrated mounting brackets and built-in power and communication connectors, this heavy payload drone can support a range of single or multiple sensors and payloads, including:
- EO/IR (electro-optical/infrared) imaging systems
- LiDAR scanners
- ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) sensors
- Ground-penetrating radar (GPR)
- Multispectral/hyperspectral sensors
- Radioactivity and gas detectors
- Additional fuel tanks for extended-range missions
The X8 can also be outfitted with various communication options, including long-range RF (European or US-compliant), 4G cellular, and SATCOM (satellite communications).
Safety features include integrated collision avoidance systems, an autonomously-deploying parachute, and a backup battery for emergency landings.The X8 is compliant with EASA “Open” and “Specific” categories.
