PINAK-X · 2-metre quadplane VTOL for long-endurance ISR
A 2-metre quadplane that takes off and lands like a multirotor and cruises like an aircraft — equipped with a tri-sensor gimbal and smart ground controller for long-endurance day-and-night surveillance.

Overview
Why the Pinak-X VTOL ISR system
The Pinak-X ISR System pairs a proven quadplane airframe with a fully integrated sensor and control chain, configured and supported by Notoxytech Technologies Pvt Ltd.
Four lift motors give it multirotor-style vertical take-off and landing from confined or rough sites, while its 2-metre wing carries it efficiently in forward flight for hours — far beyond the endurance of a multirotor. No runway, launcher or net is needed.
The tri-sensor gimbal delivers visible, thermal and laser-ranging data, streamed live to the 7-inch smart controller over a 30 km digital link. Wings, booms and A-tail are fully removable for vehicle transport and quick field assembly.
