The X7 PLUS raises max load capacity from 198.4 lbs to 264.6 lbs on the same airframe, which is the difference between flying a pilot and flight kit and flying a pilot plus LiDAR, a thermal camera or a gimballed sensor pod.
Yes. The X7 PLUS uses the same hot-swap lithium battery base as the rest of the X7 range. One person replaces a pack in about two minutes with no tools, which is what allows an inspection crew to clear several spans in a single shift.
The six-rotor distributed propulsion layout and dual GPS plus BDS navigation are what hold the aircraft steady in gusting conditions. The aircraft is rated below 1,640 ft, and operators should confirm minimum stand-off distance from energized conductors with their own utility safety authority.
LiDAR, thermal imaging, high-resolution RGB pods and multi-sensor combinations within the 264.6 lbs ceiling. Mounting points, power draw and data output are agreed during configuration, before the order is placed.
The datasheet cruise time is 30 minutes. Plan each inspection leg against that with a return reserve rather than the maximum figure, and use pack rotation to keep the aircraft working while a spare is on charge.
