About Aurelia X6 Standard
X6 Standard uses a six-rotor layout for propulsion redundancy and provides rails beneath the battery bay for customer payloads. Aurelia supplies the aircraft with ArduPilot on a Pixhawk flight controller, with alternative controller and communications configurations available.
The company lists 30 minutes of flight time on standard batteries or 45 minutes with the long-endurance option, a 5 kg payload limit and 56 km/h maximum speed. Ready-to-fly bundles are sold through Aurelia's store.
