Xer validates X8 PRO endurance with operational payloads
Xer Technologies reported flight-test validation of 3.5-hour X8 PRO endurance while carrying a combined 2 kg sensor payload and reconfirmed a 2.5-hour baseline with 7 kg.
Evidence notes
- The validated 2 kg configuration combined multiple payloads such as LiDAR and high-resolution EO/IR sensors.
- The company distinguished the result from its earlier three-hour maximum, which was generally associated with no or limited payload.
- Xer retained 10 kg as the platform maximum payload rather than presenting the 3.5-hour result at maximum load.
Company context
Xer Technologies builds long-endurance multicopter UAVs for BVLOS inspection and remote operations. Its X8 platform has a publicly documented Gotonomi Velaris Multi-Link satellite-connectivity integration.
