  • The Vulcan SX supports payloads up to 3 kg and up to 70 minutes of endurance without payload; the YX is designed for payloads up to 10 kg.
  • Both variants use Vision Aerial’s Flight Deck v4 and a field-swappable payload architecture for inspection, mapping and public-safety missions.
  • The company said initial Vulcan aircraft were moving from its Bozeman factory toward customers, marking a production milestone rather than a prototype reveal.

Vision Aerial designs and manufactures American-made drones for industrial, environmental, public-safety, inspection, surveying and field-work applications. Its portfolio includes tricopter and heavy-lift drone platforms such as SwitchBlade-Elite and Vulcan variants for demanding payload and mission profiles.
