Where AXION earns its hover.
Six core verticals. One platform. Modular payloads, swappable in under 30 seconds, mean a single airframe handles the day's mission set without rebuilding.
Built precise. Documented precisely.
Every X9 ships with a calibration certificate signed by the engineer who built it. Tap a category for the long version.
Footage from the field.
A small selection of recent missions across power, civil, and resource sectors. Tap any frame to expand.

We'll fly it.
AXION is a Canadian flight-services operator. Solar farm inspection is our anchor — but we fly real-estate, security, infrastructure, mapping, and bespoke missions across BC, AB, and SK. All prices CAD; need the airframe in your own hands? See Rentals.
Every engagement starts with a 20-minute site scoping call — no obligation, just a flight plan and a number.

Built for the people on the radio.
The team that builds AXION flies AXION. We log every mission feedback note in the same Jira queue our firmware engineers triage from.
Flew 1,200 missions in our first year. Two unscheduled landings, both pilot error. The hardware just works.
We replaced a 6-person rope-access team with two pilots and an X9. Inspection cycle went from 11 days to 36 hours.
Photogrammetry quality is the closest I've seen to terrestrial scanning. We use AXION as ground truth.
Renting the H12 for our wildfire mapping run saved us a six-figure capex while we evaluated the platform. Now we own three.
The mission planner is the first software my crews actually want to use. That alone is worth the seat license.
AXION's on-site mission day team showed up at 5am, briefed safely, and had deliverables in our inbox before dinner.
We've put the X9 through -28°C mornings on the prairies. Batteries hold up. Camera doesn't fog. It's the real deal.

Asked often.
Answered briefly.
Don't see yours? Send the question through the form below — we usually answer in a few hours.
Yes — for commercial operation in Canada you'll need a Transport Canada RPAS Advanced Operations certificate. We provide free training material and a discounted partner exam path during onboarding. International requirements vary by region; our compliance team will advise.
All onboard storage is AES-256 encrypted at rest. Mission data syncs to AXION Operations, which can run cloud, on-prem, or fully air-gapped. We're ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II in audit.
The X9 falls back to its last-known mission plan, then executes a smart return-to-home using vision-inertial localization if GPS is also degraded. Crews can re-link mid-flight without aborting.
Yes. Our REST + WebSocket API ships with OpenAPI 3.1 schemas and Python/JS clients. Pre-built connectors exist for ArcGIS, Bentley, Maximo, and SAP PM.
Standard configurations ship in 4–6 weeks. Custom payload bays or air-gapped firmware add 2–3 weeks. Demo units are available for site testing within 10 business days.
