U050 Capa-X

Capa-X supports extensive mission configurations: Military (tactical ISR/ISTAR, target tracking, forward logistics, communications, electronic warfare, battlefield support); Parapublic (border surveillance, law enforcement, emergency response, search & rescue, fire monitoring, public safety); Civil (infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, mapping, agricultural surveillance, maritime/coastal observation).

Capa-X is designed for endurance of 10 hours with a 10 kg payload, with greater endurance possible in other configurations. The specific endurance varies based on wing configuration and payload: short wings optimize for speed and manoeuverability, while long wings (6 metres) maximise aerodynamic efficiency for extended missions

Capa-X features three modular configurations: swappable propulsion (CTOL runway launch or VTOL 4-rotor), adaptable wings (short 4 metres for speed, long 6 metres for endurance), and a versatile payload bay. This modular architecture allows the aircraft to meet a variety of mission requirements.

Yes, Capa-X can be configured for both CTOL (conventional take-off and landing from runways) and VTOL (vertical take-off and landing from confined areas, 10m x 10m). The VTOL configuration uses four electrically powered twin-rotor systems with Lithium-Ion batteries, enabling operations from areas without suitable runway surfaces while maintaining the long-endurance benefits of fixed-wing flight.

Capa-X can carry up to 20 kg of payload and is designed to integrate multiple sensors simultaneously. It includes an under-fuselage cargo bay for sensor integration or cargo transport, and can operate with two to three payloads at the same time. Supported systems include electro-optical/infrared sensors, signals intelligence equipment, communications relays, and mission-specific payloads for military, parapublic, and civil applications.

Yes, Capa-X is designed for reliable performance in challenging and contested environments, including GNSS-denied scenarios. The system incorporates beyond-line-of-sight datalink as standard, with satellite communication systems under examination for enhanced connectivity in denied environments.

Capa-X achieves a maximum speed of 150 km/h (81 knots) in short-wing configuration, optimised for missions requiring higher speed and manoeuvrability. The minimum speed is 0 km/h (hover) in VTOL configuration, providing tactical flexibility across the full speed envelope.

Capa-X’s architecture is designed with high airworthiness requirements in mind, incorporating rigorous safety, reliability, and redundancy measures. This ensures robust performance across a wide range of missions, including civil operations in increasingly populated areas, as well as diverse operational scenarios requiring adaptability and precision.
