Autonomous AI-driven UAVs for BVLOS operations - FIXAR [ILA Berlin 2026]

For long-range UAV missions, operators need aircraft that can combine endurance, payload capacity, and reliable navigation. In surveying, infrastructure inspection, public-sector missions, and defense applications, the ability to operate even when GPS is unavailable can become a critical operational requirement.
At ILA Berlin 2026, FIXAR presented its fixed-wing VTOL UAV platforms designed for long-distance and high-payload missions. The company introduced the FIXAR 007, which was described as capable of flying 55 kilometers in less than 70 minutes, as well as the flagship FIXAR 025 for longer-range and higher-load operations.
A key technology highlighted at the booth was the T-Flow visual navigation system. The system is designed to support flight without GPS by analyzing terrain in real time, measuring object contrast, and adjusting the autopilot system accordingly. This makes it relevant for missions in GPS-denied or GPS-limited environments.
FIXAR also emphasized its fixed-angle rotor concept. The name FIXAR stands for Fixed Angle Rotor Systems, and the company explained that its rotors are fixed at the same angle with no moving parts. This approach is intended to reduce unnecessary weight, improve reliability, and support efficient UAV operation for professional aerial missions.
