Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Type 11 Heavy-Lift Unmanned Helicopter?

The Type 11 Heavy-Lift Unmanned Helicopter is a gas-powered rotary-wing UAV platform designed for professional B2B users who require strong payload capacity, stable hovering capability, and flexible field deployment. With a maximum takeoff weight of 70 kg, a maximum payload capacity of 30 kg, and a control radius of 5-50 km, the Type 11 is suitable for customers looking for a heavy-lift unmanned helicopter, gas-powered UAV, or rotary-wing UAV platform for specialized field operation scenarios.

What category does the Type 11 UAV belong to?

The Type 11 belongs to the category of Rotary-Wing UAVs and Heavy-Lift Unmanned Helicopters. Unlike fixed-wing UAVs, the Type 11 can take off and land vertically and maintain stable hovering during operation. Compared with many multirotor drones, its gas-powered helicopter structure provides stronger payload capability and longer operating flexibility for professional applications.

What are the main applications of the Type 11 Heavy-Lift Unmanned Helicopter?

The Type 11 Heavy-Lift Unmanned Helicopter is suitable for professional field applications that require payload capacity, hovering stability, and flexible operation. Typical application scenarios include heavy payload transport, field operation support, aerial monitoring, emergency response support, equipment carrying missions, security and perimeter observation, tactical field deployment, and specialized payload integration. For B2B customers, the platform can be configured according to different project requirements, payload types, operating environments, and control system needs.

What are the key specifications of the Type 11 UAV?

The Type 11 has an overall size of 2300 × 820 × 930 mm, excluding the main rotor. It features a 2680 mm main rotor diameter and a 470 mm tail rotor diameter. Its empty takeoff weight is 36 kg excluding fuel, while the maximum takeoff weight is 70 kg under specified conditions. The maximum payload capacity is 30 kg including fuel, making it suitable for customers who require a compact but capable heavy-lift UAV platform.

What is the payload capacity of the Type 11 Unmanned Helicopter?

The Type 11 supports a maximum payload capacity of 30 kg, including fuel under sea-level operating conditions. Payload configuration can be customized depending on the customer application, including mission modules, monitoring equipment, transport containers, communication devices, or other project-specific payload systems. For accurate configuration, customers should confirm the payload weight, mounting method, power requirements, and operating scenario before quotation.

What propulsion system does the Type 11 UAV use?

The Type 11 is powered by a two-stroke opposed twin-cylinder engine with a displacement of 1700 cc. It uses CDI electronic ignition and supports electric start for practical field deployment. Compared with battery-powered UAVs, a gas-powered UAV platform can provide stronger payload performance and operational flexibility for heavy-lift applications. The Type 11 also includes a 16.8 L external fuel tank, with fuel consumption depending on payload weight and operating conditions.
