T333 UAV unveiled by Beijing company

by Wendell Minnick in Zhuhai  
  
Beijing-based Zhong Hang Zhi Technology (ZHZ) exhibited a new coaxial 
dual-rotor UAV dubbed the T333 at the biennial 11th Zhuhai Air Show, 
along with an upgraded variant of the TD220 coaxial dual-rotor unmanned 
helicopter.

The T333’s modular design has a maximum take-off weight of 3t (with a 
1.5t payload), an endurance of 30 hours with a payload of 200kg, a 
maximum altitude of 9,000m and a top speed of 300km/h. The UAV has a 
non-bearing composite rotor, H-type tail and retractable three-wheel 
landing gear.

The aircraft is being marketed to both the commercial and 
security/police markets. No sensors or additional payloads were 
mentioned in company literature.

Elsewhere, the TD200 has undergone a design makeover that conceals its 
external gimbals and sensors, though the aircraft retains its coaxial 
dual-rotor and H-type tail. Despite its structural changes, the UAV’s 
range, weight, endurance and speed remain the same.

The first time the TD220 made an appearance at an Asian show was at the 
2014 Singapore Air Show, where the aircraft was promoted for civil and 
commercial surveillance missions.

During the 2014 Singapore Air Show, ZHZ also promoted the TC unmanned 
helicopter for commercial surveillance and patrol missions, but the 
aircraft was absent in Zhuhai in 2016.
 
 
 
 
V750 rotary-winged UAV, the 
QY-1

<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.shephardmedia.com/media/images/article/925f8036.jpg" /> 
 
A fully weaponised military variant of the V750 rotary-winged UAV, the 
QY-1, was on display at the 11th Zhuhai Air Show held from 1-6 November.

The V750 began as a commercial platform designed by the US-based 
Superior Air Parts, and earlier this year Shephard reported that it had 
been armed.

The QY-1 can carry a payload of 160kg. It is capable of carrying a 
variety of weapons, sensors and equipment, including air-to-ground 
missiles (e.g. two FT-10 missiles), synthetic aperture radar, satellite 
reconnaissance equipment and IR sensors.

The Shenzhen Tianxiang Aviation Company was listed, on a brochure at the
 air show, as being the manufacturer of the UAV, but the QY-1 had the 
China Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) emblem on its fuselage.

Confusion over the aircraft’s origins can be traced back to the original
 procurement of the aircraft design from Superior Air Parts.

Since 2012, besides CASC, numerous Chinese companies have been listed as
 the V750 designer and/or manufacturer, including the Aviation Industry 
Corporation of China, Brantly International, China Electronics 
Technology Corporation, Qingdao Haili Helicopter Manufacturing Company 
and Weifang Freesky Aviation Industry Company.

Air show literature indicates that numerous companies worked as part of a 'collectivisation operation and chain layout.'

The V750 was the first, and so far the 'only, unmanned helicopter that 
has acquired type certification issued by the CAAC [Civil Aviation 
Administration of China] in China.'

The V750 has a maximum take-off weight of 758kg, top speed of 161km/h, cruising speed of 145km/h and an endurance of six hours.
 
 
 
 
Mysterious Bee buzzes show 
by Wendell Minnick in Zhuhai  
  
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.shephardmedia.com/media/images/article/657a4830.jpg" /> 
CETC Avionics unveiled an unusual UAV at the 11th biennial Zhuhai Air 
Show, this being dubbed the Mysterious Bee hybrid quadcopter. 
 
The UAV is a fixed-wing aircraft with a rear propeller and crowned with 
four-rotors that integrate the advantages of vertical take-off and 
landing with the high speeds and long range available from a fixed-wing 
aircraft. 
According to a CETC brochure, the aircraft can take off and land on 
ships, small islets, mountainous areas and other complex terrain. 
The aircraft can mount a visible-light camera, infrared imager, laser 
range-finding/irradiating instrument and other mission payloads to 
execute ship escort, battlefield surveillance, attack guidance, 
firepower calibration and island patrol missions. 
The aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 280kg with a 50kg payload.
 Its service ceiling is 3,000m, and it has a six-hour endurance and 
maximum range of 800km. 
Speeds differ depending on mode. The maximum horizontal speed is 180km/h, but the fixed-wing cruise speed is 140-160km/h. 
The telemetry, tracking and command range by line-of-sight link is 200km.

Awing-F20 
 
There was absolutely no shortage of businesses hawking a bewildering 
array of UAVs at the 11th Zhuhai Air Show in China. Quadrant Space 
(Tianjin) Technology, a relative newcomer to the field and showing its 
products to the public for the first time, told Shephard it was not 
concerned about the multiplication of competition in China.

Quadrant opened its doors for business in April 2015 and, while it has 
not sold significant numbers of UAVs so far, this is part of its 
business model. Indeed, Mai HuaZi, power-train system department manager 
at Quadrant, explained that fully developing a wide range of UAV types 
to maturity will ensure his company’s long-term viability. 
While many UAV manufacturers spring up, and disappear, overnight in 
China, Quadrant expects to continue operating well into the future. It 
currently has 60 employees, a figure that continues to increase, Mai 
explained.

Tianjin-based Quadrant is focusing on the Chinese domestic market first 
before it turns its attention to international sales further into the 
future 
.

Its newest and largest model is the Awing-F100J with a 4.5m wingspan. It
 weighs 100kg and is powered by a DL275E two-stroke engine sourced from 
Limbach in Germany. The Awing-F100J cruises at 100-140km/h and has a 
range of more than 300km or an endurance of six-plus hours.

The Awing-H100J is a 96kg rotary-winged platform measuring 3.63m long 
and able to lift a 30kg payload. It is powered by a 250cc engine for an 
endurance of up to four hours. 
 
Returning to fixed-wing UAVs, smaller in size is the Awing-F20 (pictured
 above) that has a 3.3m wingspan and 22kg maximum take-off weight. It 
can fly for more than eight hours to a range of 350km. 
 
The Awing-F8E is smaller still with a 3m wingspan and 8kg take-off 
weight. Its range is in the order of 60km. Its smaller 5.5kg brother is 
the Awing-F5J/E that flies for 1.5 hours. 
 
Quadrant also has the Awing-X10 and Awing-X5 hex-rotor UAVs available, the former weighing 12kg and the latter 6kg. 
 
As well as using UAV engines from overseas, Quadrant also outsources flight control systems. 
Target clients for the wide range of UAVs now being marketed by Quadrant
 are organisations responsible for public security, forestry, city 
planning, electricity line inspection and traffic management, amongst a 
number of other roles.

The Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) has revealed the 
latest addition to its Tian Yi (Sky Wing) tactical unmanned aerial 
vehicle (UAV) family at the Airshow China 2016 exhibition in Zhuhai. 
 
The Sky Wing 6 (SW-6) is a surveillance or electronic warfare (EW) 
platform designed for deployment from an aircraft. The mini-UAV features
 a flattened 1.6 m long fuselage - constructed from lightweight 
composite materials - to enable the forward (upper) and rear (lower) 
wing surfaces to be folded for carriage. When fully deployed, the 
forward and rear wings measure 2.4 m and 2.9 m respectively, all four 
wings function as flight control surfaces with the latter equipped with 
winglets for improved flight efficiency and stability. 
 
The SW-6 has a maximum take-off weight (MOTW) of 20 kg and is capable of
 carrying a 5 kg payload in its nose. This typically comprises a high 
definition CCD daylight camera or an infrared imager as well as a 
two-way datalink to stream data to a nearby ground-based terminal. In 
the EW mode, the SW-6 can be equipped with a range of single or 
multiband radio frequency (RF) jamming packages. 
 
An electric motor enables the UAV to achieve cruising speeds of 80 to 
100 km/h with a flight endurance of 1 hour, with a lithium ion battery 
providing power to both the motor and payload. 
 
An AVIC spokesperson explained to IHS Jane's that the concept of 
operations (CONOPS) for the SW-6 is for a carrier aircraft to release 
the UAV from an altitude of around 2,000 to 3000 m (6,560 to 9,840 ft) 
to enable its wings to unfold fully and glide itself to its cruising 
altitude of 1,000 m. 
 
"The SW-6 is designed to fly circuits along a pre-programmed flight 
pattern around the designated area of operation to send real-time video 
or imagery intelligence to a tactical station for exploitation," the 
spokesperson said.

The Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) has revealed its 
latest armed reconnaissance vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) 
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) at the Airshow China 2016 exhibition in 
Zhuhai. 
 
Under development by AVIC's China Helicopter Research and Development 
Institute (CHRDI), the AV500W is essentially a weaponised variant of the
 civilian model AV500 VTOL UAV modified to improve its structural 
rigidity, payload capacity, and overall performance for military 
applications. 
 
According to official specifications, the AV500W has a maximum take-off 
weight (MTOW) of 470 kg with a payload capacity of 160 kg. This 
typically comprises a chin-mounted, stabilised electro-optical infrared 
(EO/IR) sensor turret to enable the air vehicle to perform day/night 
reconnaissance, battle damage assessment (BDA), as well as target 
detection and tracking. Other electronic payloads such as a synthetic 
aperture radar (SAR) and communications relay devices can be carried 
internally.

<img alt="" border="0" height="426" src="https://www.shephardmedia.com/media/images/article/31f35c63.JPG" width="640" /> 
 
Stub wings on either side of its fuselage can be configured to carry a 
range of weapons to enable the AW500W to perform armed interventions if 
required. An AVIC spokesperson told IHS Jane's that the example on 
display is carrying two 6 kg-class precision guided bomb mock-ups. The 
yet-unnamed weapon is designed to engage static or slow moving targets 
up to 5 km away via semi-active laser guidance. This is also currently 
under development alongside a larger, more capable 10 kg variant. 
 
While the company declined to provide details on the engine, it stated 
that the AV500W features a cruising speed of 170 km/h, with a maximum 
endurance of 8 hours when configured and lightly loaded for 
reconnaissance missions. This is reduced to 4 hours when the air vehicle
 is fully armed. The air vehicle has a specified operating radius of 200
 km via line-of-sight (LOS) command protocols, with a service ceiling of
 4,000 m (13,123 ft). 
IHS Jane's understands that the AV500W is presently in an advanced stage
 of development with the production-ready design expected to be 
finalised in 2017, with its first flight targeted for the same year. 
 
 
 
AVIC showcases YINGS III airborne targeting pod family

AVIC unveiled a full-sized mock up of the YINGS III model 330 airborne targeting pod at Airshow China 2016. (IHS/Kelvin Wong) 
 
The YINGS III - which stands for Ying Sun III (Hawk III) - targeting 
pods are developed and manufactured by the company's Luoyang 
Electro-Optical Equipment Research Institute located in the central 
province of Henan, with the product portfolio presently comprising three
 variants with diameters of 330 mm (Model 330), 360 mm (Model 360), and 
390 mm (Model 390). 
 
According to AVIC, the YINGS III family adopts a modular architecture to
 enable the pods to be customised to suit a particular customer's 
mission requirements, although it can be fitted to most combat aircraft,
 bomber, and training platforms. A laser rangefinder/designator is a 
standard feature across all models and configurations, although the pods
 can be delivered with a high definition daylight CCD TV camera, a 
infrared (IR) sensor, or a combination of both. 
 
"The YINGS III is a fully indigenous design and we are continually 
updating the family with our latest technologies," Zhao Jiuming, senior 
business manager and head of the institute's co-operation section, told 
IHS Jane's . "For example, the Model 330 shown for the first time here 
is designed for the latest generation of attack or multirole aircraft." 
 
The latest entry to the YINGS III family is the Model 330, which weighs 
230 kg and appears to draw heavily from Lockheed Martin AN/AAQ-33 Sniper
 advanced targeting pod (ATP) with its swept/faceted transparent 
sapphire fixed-shroud nose configuration and lightweight, aerodynamic 
structure which is designed to improve stability at high speed flight.   
AVIC states that the Model 330 provides a medium/narrow range field of 
view (FoV) of 3.6° x 2.7° and 1.2° x 0.9° respectively for the CCD TV 
camera while the IR sensor offers a FoV of 3.6° x 2.7° and 1.2° x 0.9°.  
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.janes.com/images/assets/287/65287/p1679459.jpg" /> 
The YINGS III Model 390 airborne targeting pod has already entered 
service with the People's Liberation Army Air Force as well as at least 
one export customer. Seen here is a Model 390 pod at the Pakistan Air 
Force's JF-17 display. (IHS/Kelvin Wong)
