BEIJING, May 23 (Xinhua) — Caihong-YH1000, one of China’s new cargo UAVs, has successfully completed its maiden flight, marking another advance in unmanned logistics.
The Caihong-YH1000 aircraft-type transport drone, developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), is designed for general-purpose flights at medium altitudes with the ability to take off and land from a short strip, and is also suitable for use in complex environments.
The dual-motor configuration allows the drone to take off and land on roads, hard ground, and grass surfaces. The drone can even take off and land on water surfaces using additional float attachments or on snow using ski attachments.
The range of this drone is 1,500 km, the load capacity is 1,200 kg. Its maximum operating altitude reaches 8,000 meters, and the flight duration is 10 hours.
The drone has different loading options, allowing for cargo to be loaded into the nose and dropped mid-flight from the bottom of the body. Additionally, a 6-kilowatt onboard power source allows for specialized operations.
In the future, the Caihong-YH1000 can be used to deliver goods to hard-to-reach areas in the central and western parts of the country. -0-
