Problem
Many commercial drone operations are limited by the need for specialized launch and recovery equipment, as well as weather susceptibility, which increases operational costs and restricts deployment in diverse or challenging environments. Existing drone solutions often lack the payload capacity and endurance required for efficient completion of complex tasks.
Solution
FIXAR develops fully autonomous VTOL UAVs designed for commercial and industrial applications in challenging environments. Utilizing a patented fixed-angle-rotor technology and proprietary xGroundControl software, FIXAR drones combine the maneuverability of multirotor drones with the range and efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft. This design enables vertical takeoff and landing on unprepared surfaces without bulky launchers or recovery devices. FIXAR drones are capable of carrying a variety of payloads, including high-resolution cameras, LiDAR sensors, and other specialized equipment, making them suitable for a wide range of applications such as aerial photography, mapping, inspection, and delivery.
