Efficiency in forward flight
Three large rotors give the Vulcan SX an efficient path through the air. The tricopter architecture reduces unnecessary drag and helps preserve flight time during long survey lines, corridor work, and wide-area inspection missions.
High-speed retractable landing gear improves cruise performance and clears the sensor’s field of view in flight.
Why the Tri?
We have extended and upgraded the core principles of the tricopter’s superior design, turning them into the best drone in the medium-lift category. Meet Vulcan SX.
Precise flight handling
The pivoting rear yaw system gives the pilot direct, authoritative yaw control. Vulcan SX moves smoothly between forward flight, turns, and stable hover without depending solely on differential motor speed.
That control supports consistent flight paths and dependable sensor positioning when data quality matters.
Built to travel
The three-arm architecture folds into a compact transport profile. Vulcan SX ships in a custom Pelican case designed for hand-carry and checked-baggage transport, with batteries handled separately according to airline requirements.
The aircraft can also be removed from the case for backpack or shoulder carry in the field.
