About SolarXOne
SolarXOne is XSun's solar-electric fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft for mapping, inspection, environmental monitoring and security. A tandem-wing airframe carries high-efficiency solar cells and redundant electric propulsion, providing quiet long-distance flight with interchangeable cameras and sensing payloads.
The aircraft is rated for missions lasting up to 12 hours and covering 600 kilometres with payloads up to five kilograms. Radio, cellular and satellite communications support beyond-visual-line-of-sight command and data return from remote areas. XSun supplies mission planning and ground control around the aircraft, with deployments spanning offshore energy, infrastructure, civil protection and large-area observation.
