At the 2020 World Drone Conference on 13 September, Shanghai-based Autoflight unveiled the V400 Xintianweng, an intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can take off and land vertically.
The V400 Xintianweng has a maximum takeoff weight of 400 kg and a maximum payload of 100 kg.
It is available in two power versions, an electric version with a full range of 300 kilometers and a hybrid version with a full range of 1,000 kilometers.
China builds roads with unmanned construction machinery based on BeiDou positioning system
The V400 Xintianweng uses carbon fibre composite monocoque technology for lighter weight, greater strength and improved rigidity.
The V400 Xintianweng has 8 sets of electric motors for lift and 2 sets of front and rear power sources for thrust, allowing it to take off and land vertically and hover like a multi-rotor drone, or fly horizontally like a fixed-wing aircraft.
China's first unmanned tractor equipped with 5G and hydrogen fuel cells released
The V400 Xintianweng strictly adopts aviation system development standards, not only has an 8-liter 2-propeller multi-redundant control system, multi-redundant flight control system, ground radar-assisted off-site landing and take-off function, but also can be equipped with a full parachute to ensure maximum flight safety.
The V400 Xintianweng can fly on autopilot, has the ability of airborne intelligent perception and avoidance, and supports seamless connection with 4G/5G networks.
It will be used in express logistics, emergency supplies transportation, medical rescue and fire emergency scenarios, especially in mountainous and island transportation scenarios, saving a lot of time and with obvious efficiency advantages.
