US-Made
Components
We are proud to support domestic supply chains in our products. The Aurelia X8 Standard features extensive use of U.S manufactured components throughout its systems.
The Cube Blue flight controller and onboard electronics are all manufactured in California, giving you the performance, reliability, and sophistication Aurelia Aerospace strives for.
The Aurelia X8 Standard is both NDAA 848 and TAA compliant.
Integrated
LCD Status Panel
Designed for ease of use, the Aurelia X8 Standard features an LCD status display at the side of the aircraft.
The status display gives you quick insight into the current flight mode, GPS satellites locked, failsafe warnings, battery levels, and more.
Another design feature designed to enhance ease of use is an onboard mini toolkit.
The toolkit features all the hex wrenches used in the Aurelia X8 Standard allowing you to quickly make repairs, or swap propellers when out in the field even if you forget your own tools!
8 Motors for
Extra Reliability
When a drone that uses only 4 motors loses an engine, the aircraft will immediately lose stability and come crashing to the ground.
With the 8-motor configuration on the Aurelia X8 Standard you can fly with peace of mind, knowing that even in the case of a motor failure, the aircraft will stay airborne and maintain stable flight.
Lifetime
Product Support
Have peace of mind knowing that Lifetime Product Support comes included with the Aurelia X8 Standard.
Upon receiving your Aurelia X8 Standard, one of our technicians will schedule an introductory Zoom call with you to go over the aircraft and answer any questions you may have prior to the first flight.
If you ever require any further help with the Aurelia X8, you can simply scan the QR code sticker attached to your airframe to book a Zoom call.
This product support is included for the life of the Aurelia X8 Standard at no extra cost.
Optional Long Endurance
Battery Setup Available
The Aurelia X8 Standard comes with the Standard battery option, or the Long Endurance (LE) battery option available. The Standard battery option will give flight times of 25 minutes, while the Long Endurance (LE) battery setup increases your flight time by more than 50% to 45 minutes.
Utilizing the latest in battery technology, the Long Endurance battery weight is nearly identical to the weight of the Standard batteries, ensuring you still get to carry a full 8kg (17lb) payload.
