Unique tandem wing configuration

Thanks to its unique patented dual-wing stall-free design, SolarXOne drones deliver an extremely stable and safe flight experience. Additionally, low-speed landings and take-offs can be accomplished, allowing for a smaller ground footprint. Cruise speed is low as well, and can be adjusted to meet mission requirements. For example mapping missions are ideal for the default cruise of 50 km/h. Furthermore, each wing contains control surfaces that maximise flight safety and trajectory accuracy, thereby adding further redundancy and control.
With a unique patented double wing stall-free design, SolarXOne ensure a very safe and naturally stable flight. It also allows low speed take-off and landing, which reduces the required ground zone. The cruise speed is also low, and can be adjusted to the needs of the mission. The default cruise is 50 km/h, which is ideal for mapping missions. Each wing also has control surfaces for more redundancy and better control, adding even more flight safety and trajectory accuracy.

Solar energy autonomous UAV

SolarXOne's on board energy system was designed to maximize the use of solar energy. It is unrivaled, safe, and extremely robust. Because safety and reliability are at the heart of our design, we have implemented a unique energy system with 2 sources of power: batteries and 4 solar wings. 

Unique Energy System

Equipped with intelligent BMS, both batteries guarantee the highest level of safety. The SolarXOne UAV can even operate at night using batteries. The very advanced on-board energy system manages the entire system to ensure the safety of all equipment, including redundant critical buses, with a total power output of 200 Watts. The solar panels encapsulation and four wings are made with the highest quality material to ensure a long lifespan.

SolarXOne comes with two possible solar cells :
1 – Very high efficiency custom silicium solar cells
2 – World's most efficient GaAs 3-5 thin solar cells

SolarXOne comes always with a full FTS (Flight Termination System) to stop the flight, stop the engines, opens a parachute, triggers a loud buzzer and flashing lights. When landing, the very strong carbon and composite design absorbs the shock to avoid any material damages. The FTS can be triggered by the pilot on the ground or automatically at certain special conditions.

Multi-missions capability
