XXX30

The XXX30 is a mid‑size unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by the aerospace manufacturer Xxx Limited. Designed as a versatile platform for surveillance, mapping and delivery missions, it entered production in 2021 and has since been adopted by several national defense forces and commercial mapping companies. The aircraft is named after its approximate service ceiling of 30,000 feet, which the designers considered a defining threshold for operational distinction.

Development of the XXX30 began in 2018 as part of Xxx Limited’s “X Series” initiative to create scalable UAVs. The design team focused on modularity, allowing the core airframe to accommodate a range of payloads from high‑resolution cameras to small cargo boxes. In 2020, prototype flights demonstrated a maximum endurance of 12 hours, a significant improvement over earlier models such as the XXX25. The platform entered final certification trials in late 2021 and cleared international safety standards in 2022.

A 5‑engine, twin‑boom configuration provides stability at high altitudes. The airframe is constructed from carbon‑fiber composites, reducing weight to approximately 700 kg while maintaining structural resilience. Its flight control system, an integrated autopilot powered by the Xeon AI suite, facilitates autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance. Communication links rely on Ka‑band radios, allowing real‑time data transmission over 50 km.

Operationally, the XXX30 has completed over 3,000 flight hours by the end of 2023. It has been deployed for border monitoring, wildfire mapping, and humanitarian aid delivery. Future iterations aim to incorporate swarming capabilities and extended payload capacities, positioning the XXX30 as a cornerstone of next‑generation UAV fleets.
