The successful development of the HH-100 unmanned transportation system in Continental has taken a big step forward in unmanned supply.
According to a number of media reports such as Guangming.com, our country has recently made new progress in unmanned equipment. Now we look at the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, drones are fighting every day, its killing is the core and the focus, we are not weak compared to it at all. But for now, we're in other categories, and we're happy about this breakthrough right now.
For example, now our aviation industry has publicly reported that the HH-100 unmanned transport system has now completed tests. After the first flight of the next step, it can be put into practical use.
This unmanned transport system looks like a drone with a particularly large "belly", like we saw before that the transport plane resembles a turboprop structure, but it is particularly large in the middle. Since there are no people and no other control systems, a lot of the volume can be used to transport all kinds of supplies, including personnel. Moreover, this structure is a double tail brace structure, so from the perspective of the entire aerodynamic layout, the low-altitude performance, including the flight quality, should be very good.
According to the presentation of the material now, especially excited, it weighs two tons. If you want to say that unmanned transport aircraft in the world, two-ton guys are rare. In addition, it has a range of 520 kilometers, which allows the delivery of materials within a radius with a material load of up to 700 kilograms. If it is really like special conditions and special areas to transport equipment and personnel, it is obvious that it is very dangerous for manned aircraft to enter. In addition, there are places where manned aircraft may not be able to reach the designated area after entering, for example, the visibility is extremely poor, or the wind conditions and landing conditions do not meet the requirements of manned aircraft, and the drone can be landed.
Many like the border line, its terrain is not good, the length of the runway is limited, coupled with the bad terrain, including the weather conditions will appear at any time, in this state, the front line needs this thing in particular, what do you do? Before, you can only wait, you can only boil, now you don't, now our drones can take off under the ground command, arrive at the designated area, and deliver 700 kilograms of your urgently needed materials to the front line. So it's clear that in this way, we've made significant progress in our transportation capacity, our aviation support capabilities.
As we said before, logistics support transport aircraft are all big guys, but the use of transport aircraft, first, it has relatively high requirements for the runway. In addition, the requirements for other meteorological conditions are also relatively high. You see the American C-17 taking off from that runway, and the smoke is billowing behind it, but it must be leveled, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources. But the UAV is different, two tons plus no one, these other materials occupy the weight, the take-off and landing conditions can be coarse, and the front-line airfield can fully meet its supply needs.
If we build 10 drones, 7 tons, 100 70 tons, in the future, we will quickly go to the front and deliver materials to special areas, and this drone may really play a big role. We are not enough for this drone, there may also be a helicopter version, and in the future, the multi-rotor may also be able to lift a ton or two of things to run forward, and it can be delivered accurately and fixedly.
At present, the changes and development of our unmanned conveyor equipment, we feel that we are at the forefront of the world in terms of unmanned equipment innovation. At present, looking at Russia and Ukraine, Palestine and Israel, and watching other countries fight, drones are basically two things, the first is the "eye", where is my reconnaissance target, and the second fist I launch a suicide attack on the target, or by dropping "small diameter bombs" and missiles to launch an attack. However, until now, it seems that only we are engaged in practical transportation, and other countries also have it, but there is still a gap between the level of practical transportation and ours.
From this point of view, our big "belly" UAV will carry all kinds of combat materials and supply various battlefield conditions under emergency conditions in the future, which is a very good and convenient condition. The unmanned air bridge is a big step forward.
In the past, we relied on large transport aircraft for the transportation of personnel, equipment, and heavy weapons and equipment, but due to certain restrictions, such as small-scale battles, or fighting under complex conditions on the border, climatic conditions and terrain conditions did not allow large transport aircraft to land.
This small is not too small, after all, it is larger than the drone currently in use, the distance is farther, and the equipment is more material. Therefore, the HH-100 was born out of thin air, and we feel that the way of thinking has really changed, and in the future, in terms of air supply support, we will quickly put the unmanned equipment support system into it, which plays an important role in improving the front-line combat capability.
