About Aurelia Aerospace
Aurelia Aerospace manufactures modular multirotor aircraft for payload delivery, sensing and experimental development. The X-series spans four-, six- and eight-rotor layouts, with rails and landing-gear options that accommodate cameras, scientific instruments and custom payloads. The X6 Standard carries up to five kilograms and flies for 30 minutes on standard batteries or 45 minutes with the long-endurance pack.
Open Cube flight controllers and ArduPilot software let developers change mission logic and integrate their own sensors, communications and autonomy. Larger X6 MAX configurations increase payload to six kilograms and unloaded endurance to 70 minutes, while ready-to-fly bundles include the ground controller, telemetry link and charging equipment. Aurelia builds and configures the aircraft in the United States and supports TAA- and NDAA-compliant component selections. Its platforms have been used for medical delivery in Sierra Leone, offshore inspection, mapping and custom flight testing for spacecraft-docking research.

Timeline
Events
- 2025-04-21 - Partnership - Aurelia publishes Gremsy VIO F1 integration across its drone range
The integration combined a high-resolution thermal camera, 4K zoom sensor and laser rangefinder rated to 2,400 metres. Aurelia highlighted the X6 Max, with up to 70 minutes of flight time, as a principal platform for the VIO F1 payload. The combined system supported real-time video, AI subject tracking and applications spanning public safety, infrastructure inspection and firefighting.
Source - 2025-04-21 - Demonstration - Bavovna AI trials GPS-denied autonomy on Aurelia X6 Standard
The trials tested an autonomous navigation system intended for complex electronic-warfare and GPS-jamming environments. Aurelia said the X6 Standard collected intelligence and returned to base without remote control, GPS, communications or external support. Bavovna AI targeted 2.5% relative navigation accuracy and examined SIGINT, surveillance and mine-detection missions.
Source - 2025-04-21 - Product Launch - Aurelia adds long-endurance packages for three heavy-lift drones
The X6 Standard and X8 Standard packages raised stated flight time from 25 minutes to 45 minutes. The X6 Pro long-endurance configuration increased stated flight time from 55 minutes to 70 minutes. Customers could order each of the three aircraft in either standard or long-endurance form.
Source - 2025-04-21 - Product Launch - Aurelia reveals Q1 as its first internally designed VTOL aircraft
The Q1 combined vertical takeoff and landing with a fixed-wing aircraft configuration. Aurelia described the hardware and components as fully self-designed and custom built. The company opened an interest list for prior customers while engineers continued product development.
Source - 2025-04-21 - Capability - Aurelia offers Auterion Skynode autonomous flight-stack configurations
Skynode combined a PX4 flight controller, mission computer, autonomy engine, payload control and video encoding. Its connectivity stack supported 4G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for real-time transmission from the aircraft to cloud systems. Aurelia offered Skynode configurations across X6 Standard, X8 Standard and X6 Pro platforms, including the U.S. government-focused version.
