A reliable heavy-lift platform
As a pilot, engineer and innovator, with over 30 years flying experience, I have first hand experience of what’s lacking in commercial drones and I’ve designed and built NX3 to address those nuances.
A large number of UAVs I fly today have operational nuances and nine years ago, I took it upon myself to learn as much as I could about aircraft design, CAD and manufacturing. Eight years ago, I designed my first UAV in CAD, sent the files away and eagerly awaited the parts to arrive, so that we could start on the build.
Since then, me and my team have built over 18 UAVs, ranging from film and television to defence and logistics.
NX3 is designed to deliver reliable, heavy-lift capability in environments where access, safety and precision matter most.
NX3 is a UK-designed, dual-use, heavy-lift autonomous UAS platform engineered to meet the evolving demands of defence, special operations, and mission-critical logistics.
Developed by the Aerialworx team, NX3 bridges the gap between commercially available drones and high-cost military systems, delivering a modular, scalable, and rapidly deployable solution built for real-world environments where reliability, adaptability, and performance are non-negotiable.
About our
History
Aerialworx brings over 15 years of proven UAV operational experience into the design and development of next-generation unmanned systems.
Our platforms are conceived, engineered, and validated against real-world operational demands, with a track record of successful delivery in complex and high-risk environments. Building on multiple UAV designs already developed and field-proven, we work in close alignment with regulators and defence stakeholders to ensure compliance, credibility, and operational relevance from day one. Our small, highly capable team is supported by a strong network of UK industry and academic partners, and is based in Anglesey, North Wales within a designated Freeport area – providing a strategic foundation for innovation, manufacturing, and export.
The NX3 programme is firmly grounded in operational reality, not concept-driven theory.
Designed and Manufactured in UK
Made in Wales
Proudly designed, engineered, and built in Wales, the platform is developed and manufactured through a predominantly UK-based supply chain, drawing on trusted local suppliers and specialist partners. This approach combines proven British engineering capability with advanced aerospace technologies to deliver a robust, scalable heavy-lift unmanned system. Whether enabling critical medical logistics, supporting defence and security operations, or optimising complex cargo transport, the platform establishes a new benchmark in safe, autonomous, high-capacity aerial lift.
