When to pick which
Choose the ExynAero for subterranean operations where GPS signals are nonexistent and lighting is poor. It is the superior choice for mining engineers and geotechnical surveyors who need high-fidelity 3D maps of stopes or tunnels. While heavier at 3.2kg, its 1kg payload capacity and ExynPak real-time SLAM allow it to carry sophisticated LiDAR sensors into environments where traditional drones fail. If your task involves mapping deep underground shafts or inspecting unlit confined industrial spaces without pilot intervention, the ExynAero’s specialized autonomy stack justifies its deployment over general-purpose enterprise drones.
Select the Skydio X10 for wide-area outdoor inspections and public safety missions requiring rapid deployment and long endurance. With a top speed of 20m/s and a 40-minute runtime, it covers significantly more ground than the ExynAero for tasks like bridge inspections or construction site monitoring. Its NDAA compliance makes it the standard for US government agencies and tactical teams needing secure, US-made hardware. For fleet managers, the RemoteOps and ROS bridge support large-scale remote operations. Choose this model when mission speed, regulatory compliance, and cloud-based data integration are more critical than specialized GPS-denied underground navigation.
