Mission Selection
Which UAV Fits Your Inspection Mission?
Start with the mission geometry and operating time. The four platform choices below move from flexible close-range work to persistent stationary monitoring.
Local & Flexible
XJ-8A
Choose it for concentrated work areas that need hovering, agile movement or interchangeable mission payloads.
Mission fitClose-range flexible inspection
Longer Multi-Rotor Flight
XJ-H4A
Choose it when multi-rotor flexibility must be retained while each inspection cycle stays airborne longer.
Mission fitExtended-duration inspection
Wide-Area Coverage
XJ-TR1
Choose it for large sites, long routes or linear infrastructure where efficient forward flight matters.
Mission fitMapping & corridor coverage
Persistent Operation
XJ-XLA
Choose it when the priority is remaining above one area continuously for observation or communication support.
Mission fitStationary continuous monitoring

Selection Checklist
What to Consider When Choosing an Inspection Drone
Mission Duration
How long must the UAV remain airborne for each inspection cycle?
Coverage Area
A facility, linear corridor and large survey area require different aircraft configurations.
Payload Requirement
Consider the weight and integration requirements of cameras, sensors or other mission equipment.
Hovering Requirement
Close-range inspection may require stable hovering, while wide-area missions may favor fixed-wing flight.
Operating Environment
Wind, altitude, terrain, obstacles and takeoff conditions influence platform selection.
Data Requirement
Define the type of imagery or mission data that must be collected.
Persistent Operation
If continuous airborne monitoring is required, a tethered UAV may be more suitable than a battery-powered aircraft.
