xCraft has come a long way since 2014. Check out some of our legacy technology, now discontinued, that set the stage for the flying robots we create today.
The first drone we ever built, the XPlusOne was a first-of-it’s-kind VTOL aircraft. The drone would take off and land vertically, using all 4 props as a quad-copter, before transitioning into horizontal flight, much like a fixed-wing aircraft, reaching speeds of 60 MPH. The craft accepted a GoPro camera as a nose mount to capture aerial footage.
Features Included:
Fully Autonomous Flight Plans: Plan your missions using a Google Maps-like interface and let the XPlusOne fly the entire mission, from takeoff to landing, without any user input.
Follow-Me: Have the XPlusOne auto-follow your Android device using the included telemetry module and the Tower app.
Return-to-Launch: When the battery is low, or the radio signal is lost, the PlusOne will automatically return to the launch position and land.
Loiter Mode: Automatically holds GPS position and altitude for easy quad-copter flying.
Auto-Land: Let the XPlusOne handle landings for you.
Laptop or Tablet Control: In the field, direct the XPlusOne from your laptop or tablet.
Expanded Polyolefin (EPO) Construction: A lightweight yet durable material allowing the XPlusOne to fly at maximum speed and strong enough to take a hit or two.
