Giving Flight To Clients Ideas Worldwide
Let the Aurelia X8 MAX give your ideas flight! With a large payload bay, this is our largest platform designed for professional and industrial use.
The X8 MAX features unbeatable versatility for a wide range of payloads and is capable of carrying up to 11 kg (24 lb). It is designed to fall under the 25kg (55 lb) MTOW limit under FAA and EASA rules.
Designed to be future proof, the Aurelia X8 MAX utilizes open source hardware and technology across the aircraft.
The Aurelia X8 MAX is delivered ready to fly out of the box with minimal setup required. Just install your payload and take it to the skies!
The Aurelia X8 MAX features an open-source Pixhawk flight controller, offering endless possibilities to customize your drone for your specific operation.
The standard configuration is set up with ArduPilot software, however, upon request, we can install PX4 instead.
We offer both the Cube Orange and Cube Blue flight controllers. You can learn more information about both options further down the page.
We are proud to support domestic supply chains in our products. The Aurelia X8 MAX features extensive use of U.S manufactured components throughout its systems.
The Cube Blue flight controller and onboard electronics are all manufactured in California, giving you the performance, reliability, and sophistication Aurelia Aerospace strives for.
The Aurelia X8 MAX is both NDAA 848 and TAA compliant.
Designed for ease of use, the Aurelia X8 MAX features an LCD status display at the side of the aircraft.
The status display gives you quick insight into the current flight mode, GPS satellites locked, failsafe warnings, battery levels, and more. Another design feature designed to enhance ease of use is an onboard mini toolkit.
The toolkit features all the hex wrenches used in the Aurelia X8 MAX allowing you to quickly make repairs, or swap propellers when out in the field even if you forget your own tools!
When a drone that uses only 4 motors loses an engine, the aircraft will immediately lose stability and come crashing to the ground.
With the 8-motor configuration on the Aurelia X8 MAX you can fly with peace of mind, knowing that even in the case of a motor failure, the aircraft will stay airborne and maintain stable flight.
Have peace of mind knowing that Lifetime Product Support comes included with the Aurelia X8 MAX.
Upon receiving your Aurelia X8 MAX, one of our technicians will schedule an introductory Zoom call with you to go over the aircraft and answer any questions you may have prior to the first flight.
If you ever require any further help with the Aurelia X8 MAX, you can simply scan the QR code sticker attached to your airframe to book a Zoom call.
This product support is included for the life of the Aurelia X8 MAX at no extra cost.
In less than 30 seconds, with a click of the button on each arm joint, the Aurelia X8 MAX can instantly fold down, allowing for quick disassembly and easy transportation.
With more than 20 available flight modes, including a new swarm mode (allowing you to fly multiple X8 aircraft at once), the Aurelia X8 MAX has a flight mode for any mission.
The free QGroundControl (QGC) mission planning software available for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS devices allows you to set flight modes, program routes over a Google Maps overlay, set altitudes, geofencing, and much more.
Alternatively, Mission Planner software (also free) is recommended for those looking for mission planning software with additional functionality.
As a platform that is relied on by some of the world's top research institutions, companies, and government agencies, extensive thought has gone into the design, and engineering of every aspect of the Aurelia X8 MAX to create a platform that delivers reliability, sophistication, performance and versatility.
