About
About Delair UX11
Delair UX11 is a hand-launched fixed-wing mapping aircraft with an integrated global-shutter camera and onboard image-quality processing. It flies for up to 80 minutes, covers routes reaching approximately 53 kilometres and can map around 120 hectares at 1.7-centimetre ground resolution in one supported mission.
Post-processed kinematic positioning supports centimetre-grade results with limited ground-control infrastructure. Radio and cellular communications provide mission status and data transfer across large sites. Delair supplies mission planning, flight operation and photogrammetric processing within the same mapping workflow.

Timeline
- Delair UX11 receives first EU C6 drone classification
2023-02-23 - Regulatory - The C6 designation enabled UX11 flights under EASA standard scenario STS-02. The classification strengthened UX11 use in long-distance surveying and industrial mapping missions. The C6 classification enabled operators to use the UX11 under the applicable European standard scenario for BVLOS work.
Source - Delair receives EU BVLOS authorization for UX11
2020-06-19 - Regulatory - The approval supported long-range surveying and mapping flights with Delair UX11. The authorization created a regulated BVLOS pathway for professional drone operations in Europe. UX11 could operate under the approved European long-range survey framework without a separate mission-by-mission BVLOS exemption.
