Multi-disciplinary optimisation
The SolarXOne autonomous drone is the result of years of intensive research and testing in partnership with world-class laboratories and universities. XSun engineers and scientists work toward excellence from design through manufacture, starting with highly innovative multidisciplinary optimisation design.
Unique tandem wing configuration
Thanks to its unique patented dual-wing stall-free design, SolarXOne drones deliver an extremely stable and safe flight experience. Additionally, low-speed landings and take-offs can be accomplished, allowing for a smaller ground footprint. Cruise speed is low as well, and can be adjusted to meet mission requirements. For example mapping missions are ideal for the default cruise of 50 km/h. Furthermore, each wing contains control surfaces that maximise flight safety and trajectory accuracy, thereby adding further redundancy and control.
Solar energy autonomous UAV
SolarXOne's on board energy system was designed to maximize the use of solar energy. It is unrivaled, safe, and extremely robust. Because safety and reliability are at the heart of our design, we have implemented a unique 3 energy security system with 3 sources of power: batteries in master/slave, then 4 solar wings. With an intelligent BMS, the batteries are guaranteed the highest level of safety. SolarXOne UAV can even operate at night using batteries. A very advanced on-board energy system manages the entire system to ensure the safety of all equipment, including redundant critical buses, with a total power output of 200 Watts.
