About
About Twentyfour Industries
Q-X is a 10-inch quadcopter built around a modular frame and replaceable mission components. The aircraft supports payloads of up to 2.5 kilograms, speeds reaching 140 kilometres per hour and an operating radius of roughly 12 kilometres.
The platform is intended for training and short-range tactical missions using one serially producible European airframe. Its modular payload rail lets operators change mission equipment without replacing the airframe. Twentyfour designs, manufactures and deploys the drones for European and allied customers, with a production strategy centred on scalable regional manufacturing.
