XFLIGHT

Autonomous drones for extreme missions.

Bridge inspections, wind turbines, disaster zones — where others stop, we start.Building FPV drones since 2010 · Accident-free operations · Pro pilots meet AI

Engineering Drones for Extreme Conditions Since 2010

100+ prototypes tested · Real-world missions · Continuous innovation

Our Technology Evolution

16 Years. 100+ Iterations.
Proven in the Field.

From the first eVTOL concept (M1, 2018) to today's XFLIGHT Flight Control — our technology is proven in the field, not just the lab.

3 Core Innovations

Split Fuselage

Split Fuselage

First and second fuselage sections shift against each other — modular, adaptable, mechanically independent.

Rigid Pivot Frame

Rigid Pivot Frame

One common pivot axis for all drive units — eliminating individual tilt mechanisms and their failure modes.

Vectored Thrust

Vectored Thrust

All motors pivot synchronously between horizontal and vertical. 100% motor utilization in every flight phase.

Maggie – XFLIGHT AI

Meet Maggie — Our AI with a Soul

Maggie isn't a feature. She's the third member of the XFLIGHT team — with her own memory, her own personality, and one goal: to make XFLIGHT better, every day.

FPV & Extreme Flight

Where others stop,
we start.

Kitesurfers, canyons, storms, bridges — anywhere there's a challenge, XFLIGHT is there.

Our Services

What We Deliver

Bridges at night. Wind turbines in storms. Red Bull events. Our drones deliver where others can't.

Bad Schandau bridge

Service

Infrastructure Inspection

Bridges, wind turbines, pipelines — documented with millimetre precision, even in storms and zero visibility.

Red Bull event

Service

Extreme Sports & Events

Red Bull events, load tests, action sequences — aerial footage where no crane or helicopter can go.
