View of an XER X8, heavy-duty hybrid drone, designed for demanding missions, on display at DroneX 2023
The XER X8 is a heavy-duty hybrid drone designed for demanding missions. With a flight time of over hours, the ability to carry up to 7 kg payloads, and resilience against adverse weather conditions, it sets a new standard in the drone industry. The X8 is customisable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, making it a game-changer in unmanned aviation. he X8 is equipped with a robust hybrid engine that provides superior flight time compared to conventional battery-powered drones. This makes it an ideal choice for demanding missions that require extended operational periods. Furthermore, it is designed to perform reliably in up to 35 knots of wind, adverse weather conditions, and sub-zero temperatures. One of the standout features of the X8 is its customisability. It can carry a wide range of different sensors and multiple heavy payloads with specialised functions, allowing it to adapt to the specific requirements of your mission. This makes it a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of applications. The X8 is not just powerful and adaptable, but also cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Compared to battery-powered drones, the X8’s extended flight time and substantial payload capacity can significantly reduce operational costs. Moreover, XER drones can drastically reduce CO2 emissions compared to helicopters, making them a more sustainable choice. The X8 is also designed with safety in mind. It features redundant co-axial electric motors, an integrated collision avoidance system, a fully autonomous parachute deployment system, and a battery for emergency landing. These features ensure that the X8 can carry out complicated missions in adverse weather, limited visibility, or dangerous, remote locations where a conventional drone or helicopter may not be an option. In terms of specifications, the X8 is a 4-arm multicopter with coaxial contra-rotating propellers.
