About

About Q-X

Q-X is a ten-inch modular quadcopter designed around repeatable European production and a common airframe for training and operational missions. Q-X carries up to 2.5 kilograms, flies for around 20 minutes, operates over a 12-kilometre radius and reaches 140 kilometres per hour.

Interchangeable payloads let operators adapt the aircraft without introducing a separate drone for every role. Twentyfour Industries combines the product with training, maintenance and lifecycle support and states that Q-X aircraft are already deployed in several European countries. The company is scaling Q-X production in Germany after deploying the aircraft in several European countries.

Timeline

  • Twentyfour Industries emerges from stealth after moving from drone design into production and field deployment

    2026-01-19 - Production Milestone - Twentyfour moved from incorporation in late 2024 to product design, production and field deployment of its first drone platform in less than a year. Its first system is a mass-manufacturable, multi-mission 10-inch quadcopter, with hundreds of units manufactured and deployed in Europe by the end of 2025. The drones entered daily field use with European soldiers, and the company delivered revenue-generating contracts across multiple countries.
