Project Overview
Falx Systems is my own company, incorporated as a Delaware C corporation in 2026. We build uncrewed aerial systems for the United States and its allies. Our first aircraft, the FX-1, is already built and in flight test.
The FX-1 carries a 20 kg payload at 40 kg MTOW and stays airborne for about two hours. Navigation runs on dual V-SLAM rather than GPS alone, so it keeps flying when the satellites stop talking. A Jetson Orin NX does the thinking on board, an encrypted radio link plus 5G LTE and a satellite channel bring the data home, and the airframe is built to keep working in the rain.
Status: In flight test
