Many operators prefer Pixhawk Drones thanks to their open-source design, and flexibility, allowing the end user to easily program them, or integrate external electronics, something that is not possible with the closed source DJI platforms.
Thanks to its open source hardware design, there are a wide variety of Pixhawk flight controllers available for a variety of different applications - high quality made in USA Pixhawk boards, bare bones affordable boards, and boards with additional features built in. The one thing that all the boards have in common is the use of the same base architecture. At the bottom of this article we outline the different board options, as these boards can be interchangeable on most Pixhawk drones.
All of the below platforms are stocked by us and can be customized to meet your specific needs. All drones we sell have the option of worldwide shipping, so no matter where you are in the world, we can get any of our Pixhawk drones to you. If you are in a country that has restrictions on the import of drones, we have a department that can assist with getting the correct paperwork.
The 3DR Solo Drone is one of the most common Pixhawk platforms, despite the fact that it has been out of production for some time. The decision by 3D Robotics to produce far more of these units than the market initially had the demand for means that many of these are still floating around on the market. At merely double the cost of the Pixhawk flight controller it offers great value for those that need a simple Pixhawk platform. Manufacturer: 3D Robotics

Fixed wing Pixhawk drones offer some benefits and advantages over their multi-rotor counterparts. Due to their efficient design, fixed wing drones can fly much longer than multi rotor drones while using smaller batteries at the same time. This makes them good platforms for surveillance, long distance flights, or applications which require the drone to be airborne for long periods of time. The disadvantages of the fixed wing drone are its larger size, the fact that it needs a clear strip of property to take off and land on, and the fact they are more fragile and can be completely destroyed in a crash.
The Talon GT ready to fly drone is our most popular fixed-wing drone, and an excellent platform for training drone pilots to fly a fixed-wing drone.

There are a wide variety of iterations of the Pixhawk flight controller board designed for different applications. The one thing that all the boards have in common is the use of the same base architecture. All of our drones come by default with the Pixhawk X2.1 but are available with any of the below Pixhawk boards.
The Pixhawk X2.1 is a high-quality, basic Made In USA Pixhawk flight controller board for Pixhawk drones that will run Ardupilot software.
The Pixhawk Cube is a Chinese Pixhawk with the internal electrical components housed inside the cube at the top of the board. It features isolated and dampened IMU to reduce interference to sensors. It also features a triple redundant IMU with multiple gyroscopes, acceleromters, and magnetometers. Built in IMU heating systems allow flight at below freezing temperatures.
The Pixhawk Cube blue is a Made In USA version of the Pixhawk Cube, designed for government applications or applications that require Made In USA equipment.
The Pixhawk 4 is a standard Pixhawk board designed to utilize the software PX4 rather than Ardupilot.
