X8 Flying Wing Kit
The X8 Flying Wing is the ideal platform when missions require heavier payload capacity or longer endurance than what the Skywalker UAV family can provide. Built from COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) materials and adapted into a complete UAV solution, the X8 combines a composite/EPO airframe with excellent efficiency, weighing only 2.2 kg without payload while carrying up to 2.3 kg of cameras, batteries, or mission equipment.

The system is powered by the proven Airelectronics U-Pilot autopilot, embedded in the front of the cargo bay to maximize available payload volume. U-Pilot provides advanced capabilities such as payload management, pointing functions, and georeferenced video, ensuring seamless integration with diverse mission requirements.
With only a standard laptop, the X8 Flying Wing is ready to fly. The aircraft can operate fully autonomously from take-off to landing, requiring no prior flight experience. Through U-See ground control software, operators can plan, monitor, and adjust missions in real time, while also managing payload operations.
Additional features such as Eco-Flight (leveraging atmospheric conditions to extend flight time), thermal soaring, and real-time monitoring of battery and engine data make the X8 Flying Wing a highly capable and efficient UAV platform.
