FEATURES



T500 Heavy-Lift Unmanned Helicopter


The T500 is a heavy-duty unmanned helicopter with a maximum take-off weight of 600 kg. It adopts a tandem dual-rotor configuration, specifically designed for heavy-lift transportation and delivery missions. It features vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), precision hovering, and accurate recovery capabilities, with low requirements for take-off and landing sites, offering excellent environmental adaptability and operational flexibility. The aircraft can carry external payloads exceeding 250 kg, making it ideal for logistics supply, emergency medical delivery, and heavy cargo transportation in complex and demanding environments.

Application
Unmanned helicopters are engineered for complex environments and high-intensity missions, featuring vertical take-off and landing, long-endurance flight, and high-precision hovering capabilities. They can operate reliably in runway-free, rugged, and high-risk areas. With strong payload capacity and flexible mission expansion interfaces, these systems are widely used in emergency rescue, logistics supply, firefighting, mountain transportation, island logistics, and infrastructure inspection, significantly improving operational efficiency, reducing human risk, and ensuring mission continuity and safety.

Water Rescue FirefightingMaterial Delivery

Unmanned helicopter is an advanced aerial vehicle designed for remote-controlled or autonomous flight operations without a pilot onboard. It is widely used in military, industrial, agricultural, and commercial applications due to its flexibility, stability, and ability to access difficult or dangerous environments.

Equipped with GPS navigation, high-precision sensors, and intelligent flight control systems, unmanned helicopters can perform tasks such as aerial surveillance, mapping, photography, cargo delivery, and infrastructure inspection. Their vertical takeoff and landing capability allows operation in confined areas where fixed-wing aircraft cannot be used.

These helicopters offer long endurance, strong payload capacity, and stable hovering performance, making them suitable for complex missions. They are commonly used in disaster monitoring, border patrol, power line inspection, and precision agriculture. With continuous technological development, unmanned helicopters are becoming more intelligent, efficient, and widely applied in modern aerial operations.
