XWing

Xwing is a technology company based in the United States that develops autonomous flight software for fixed-wing aircraft. The company focuses on enabling automated, on-demand aerial operations in controlled airspace with remote supervision and, in some cases, pilot override when required.

Core technology comprises an autonomy stack that fuses sensor data from cameras, radar, and other onboard sensors to perform perception and object tracking, localization and mapping, path planning, and robust control. The system is designed to operate on standard fixed-wing airframes without extensive aircraft modification and to be deployed with oversight from a remote operator.

Xwing has pursued demonstrations and partnerships to validate autonomous flight, including publicly disclosed tests in controlled airspace using fixed-wing platforms such as the Cessna 208 Caravan. The company's activities are conducted in coordination with aviation regulators to ensure safety and transition toward broader use cases such as cargo delivery and infrastructure inspection.

Regulatory and industry collaboration is a key focus, with engagements that involve aviation authorities, flight test operators, and research institutions. Xwing positions its technology as a step toward safer, more efficient aviation through autonomy, while maintaining human supervision as a safety layer.

Note: The name Xwing is distinct from the X-wing starfighter in the Star Wars franchise.
