【#Tech24H】China’s domestically developed HH-200 commercial unmanned aerial cargo system has completed its maiden flight test in Pucheng, Shaanxi Province. The HH-200 system consists of an unmanned aircraft and a ground support system. The aircraft has a maximum payload capacity of 1.5 tons and a maximum range of 2,360 kilometers. The standard cargo hold volume is 12 cubic meters, which can be expanded to 14 or 18 cubic meters according to actual needs. Moreover, thanks to its straight-through low-floor cargo hold, the aircraft can seamlessly interface with ordinary forklifts and other loading/unloading equipment, allowing two people to complete cargo loading and unloading within five minutes. The HH-200 can perform missions in special environments such as short runways, high-altitude plateaus, extreme heat and cold, and adverse weather. After entering commercial service, it can be used for emergency rescue, aerial remote sensing, agricultural and forestry protection, and other fields.
