Expanding What's Possible with Drones

[WingXpand @WingXpand]

WingXpand is honored to join Verizon’s Community Disaster Resilience Innovation Accelerator. Our xRAI Smart Plane helps responders quickly gather critical info with fast deployment, long flight time, AI-driven insights, and rugged performance to boost disaster readiness.

Today, we remember those who gave everything in service to our country and honor the families who carry that sacrifice with them every day.

Their courage shaped the freedoms we all get to live, work, and build our lives around. Wishing everyone a meaningful Memorial Day.

Team WingXpand briefed global SOF leaders at last year’s SOF Week—highlighting what makes the event unique: operators, allies, and innovators united to advance the mission. We're excited to return with something new. Visit us at the Outpost at Peter O. Knight Airport, booth A09!

Great to join Army and industry leaders at the UAS Marketplace.

Key theme: upgradability and rapid deployment.

WingXpand shared how our smart planes deliver portability and mission flexibility.

Grateful for the collaboration shaping the future of Army Aviation.

Even when the sun goes down, your mission doesn’t stop. Neither should your drone.

It’s not about day or night.
It’s about being able to see when it matters most.

At WingXpand our mission is to expand what’s possible.

[WingXpand @WingXpand]

Most drones are built for one job. When the mission changes, you lose time switching systems or operate with gaps.

WingXpand solves it with modular payloads and adaptive AI software so one platform can shift missions on the fly and your team can take better action on the scene.

[WingXpand @WingXpand]

Our smart planes are built with modular payloads and upgradable software so they can adapt as you do. You are not stuck replacing systems every time something changes. You have a platform that grows with your needs and keeps getting better over time.

[WingXpand @WingXpand]

Most technology starts falling behind the moment you put it into use.

Needs change. Missions evolve. New capabilities come online. But too many systems are built for a single moment in time.

At WingXpand, we take a different approach.

[WingXpand @WingXpand]

The industry pushes a tradeoff that shouldn’t exist.

VTOL takes off straight up and down. Easy to launch but more limited in range and time.

Fixed-wing flies like an airplane. Long range, long endurance but can be harder to deploy.

We make it simple. You should have both.

[WingXpand @WingXpand]

More teams are waking up to a simple truth:
You don’t need more people or more gear, you need better tools.

WingXpand smart planes deploy from a backpack in minutes, fly longer, and carry better sensors that can be swapped out as your mission changes.

[WingXpand @WingXpand]

Great to be back at @SOFWERX , this time for the Small Business Boot Camp.

Most events talk about innovation.

This one actually connects it with operators, capital, and real deployment.

Appreciate the SOFWERX team and @USSOCOM for creating it.

Happy National Puppy Day!

Today we honor the brave K9 companions whose loyalty, skill, and dedication help keep our troops safe every day.

St. Louis is rapidly becoming the place to build the future of aerospace. With Boeing relocating its defense headquarters back to the region, the talent and innovation pipeline here keeps getting stronger. Proud to see WingXpand recognized as part of this momentum.

[WingXpand @WingXpand]

During a recent flight test, our smart plane happened to pass through a natural sun halo.

It appears when light refracts through ice crystals high in the atmosphere.

A reminder of something simple but powerful:
Perspective changes what you can see.

WingXpand CEO & Co-Founder, James Barbieri was named in 2026 St. Louis Business 500 by @stlmag.

A recognition like this is humbling and it really reflects the work of an incredible team and the mission we’re pursuing together.

Recently in D.C., reconnected with Missouri leaders from Senator Schmitt & Hawley's offices + Wesley Bell, all working toward the same goal. WingXpand builds autonomous robotics for defense & critical industries. Midwest grit, American-made, real outcomes.

[WingXpand @WingXpand]

The Midwest is reclaiming its aerospace legacy and St. Louis is at the epicenter. Advanced manufacturing, AI-enabled systems, and homegrown talent are fueling a new era of innovation. Proud to be building here alongside incredible regional partners and supporters.✈️

In high-stakes missions the difference between smooth and chaotic comes down to one thing: Did the team see the change and did everyone understand it at the same time? WingXpand Smart Planes™ don't just send back video, they're expanding what's possible with US built robotics.🇺🇸
