Pixhawk
Flight Control
Excellence
The Aurelia X8 MAX* comes equipped with industry-leading Pixhawk flight controllers, delivering unlimited customization potential for your specific operational needs. Our standard configuration runs ArduPilot software, though we can configure PX4 upon request to match your workflow requirements.
Choose between two proven flight controller options: the Cube Orange and Cube Blue. Both systems offer robust performance and reliability for professional applications. Detailed specifications for each controller are available below.
The X8 MAX ships standard with the Cube Orange+ flight controller, providing exceptional flight stability and advanced feature support right out of the box.
US-Made
Components
Aurelia Aerospace champions domestic manufacturing with the X8 MAX, featuring extensively sourced U.S. components throughout its advanced systems. This commitment to American supply chains ensures superior quality while supporting local industry.
The precision-engineered Cube Blue flight controller and integrated electronics are manufactured in California, delivering the exceptional performance, reliability, and technological sophistication that defines Aurelia Aerospace standards.
Built to meet the highest regulatory standards, the Aurelia X8 MAX maintains full NDAA 848 and TAA compliance, making it the ideal choice for government contracts and security-sensitive operations.


Smart Features
that Work
The Aurelia X8 MAX keeps things simple with an LCD display right on the aircraft's side. Check your flight mode, GPS lock, battery status, and any warnings at a glance without fumbling through menus or apps.
Here's something clever: there's a mini toolkit built right into the drone. It holds all the hex keys you need for quick fixes or propeller swaps. Forgot your toolbox? No problem. Everything's already there when you need it.
These aren't just fancy add-ons. They're practical solutions that keep you flying instead of troubleshooting. Whether you're deep in the field or racing against daylight, the X8 MAX has your back with features that actually matter.
Fly without Fear
Four-motor drones have one major weakness: lose a motor, lose your aircraft. It's that simple. When an engine fails, physics takes over and your investment hits the ground.
The X8 MAX changes the game with eight motors. Engine trouble? Keep flying. The remaining seven motors automatically compensate, keeping your aircraft stable and your mission on track. It's like having a safety net built into the sky.
This isn't just about protecting expensive equipment. It's about confidence. Launch critical missions knowing your drone can handle the unexpected and bring your payload home safely.


Support
That Lasts
Your X8 MAX purchase includes something rare in the drone world: support that never expires. From day one through years of operation, our team stands behind your aircraft with genuine lifetime assistance.
Start strong with a personal walkthrough. Once your X8 MAX arrives, our technicians schedule a one-on-one Zoom session to cover everything from preflight checks to advanced features. No question is too basic or too complex.
Need help later? Just scan the QR code on your airframe to instantly book another session. Whether it's troubleshooting, upgrades, or operational guidance, expert help is always one scan away.
This isn't a limited warranty or paid service plan. It's genuine lifetime support included with every X8 MAX, because your success matters long after the purchase.
Setup & Breakdown
Click, fold, done. The X8 MAX transforms from flight-ready aircraft to compact transport package in under 30 seconds. One button on each arm joint is all it takes.
No tools, no complicated sequences, no missing parts to track. Just press the release buttons and watch the arms fold cleanly into position. Perfect for jumping between job sites, fitting into tight vehicle spaces, or packing for travel.
When speed matters and space is limited, the X8 MAX adapts to your workflow instead of the other way around.


Advanced Flight Modes &
Mission Planning Software

Your Mission

Can't find what you need? Our support specialists work with custom setups daily. Reach out and let's figure out how to make your specific equipment work perfectly with the X8 MAX.

Custom Electronics
Excellence
Aurelia Aerospace engineers and manufactures every electronic component in the X8 MAX from the ground up. This complete control over design ensures each system delivers the performance, reliability, and sophistication that professional operations demand.
Every circuit board undergoes rigorous testing and quality control. This integrated approach eliminates compatibility issues and creates seamless communication between aircraft systems. The result is a drone that performs consistently in challenging environments, giving operators confidence for critical missions.

Built for
Real Conditions
Aurelia's custom IP-rated motors handle whatever nature throws at them, from dusty construction sites to light rain. The eight-motor design means losing one motor won't end your mission - the X8 MAX keeps flying while other drones would crash.
Smart engineering extends to crash protection too. When things go wrong, the propellers are designed to break away cleanly, saving your expensive motors and electronics from damage. Replace a few props instead of rebuilding your entire aircraft.
