BEIJING, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) — China's self-developed unmanned transport aircraft Tianma-1000 (Skyhorse-1000) successfully completed its first flight test on Sunday, showing good flight performance, according to China North Industries Group Corporation Limited.
This aircraft performs functions such as logistics transportation, emergency rescue operations, and material delivery. It is the first low-cost transport platform that operates at medium altitudes and offers adaptability to challenging high-altitude terrain, ultra-short takeoffs and landings, and rapid mode switching between cargo transportation and airdrop.
According to the report, the aircraft's maximum flight altitude is up to 8,000 meters, the takeoff and landing run is less than 200 meters, the maximum flight range is 1,800 kilometers, and the maximum payload is 1 ton.
When performing missions such as supplying remote areas, conducting emergency rescue operations, and urgently delivering supplies, the Tianma-1000 can transport essential cargo, including food, medicine, and equipment, in a single trip, in quantities sufficient for several days. This has provided a solution to the problem of transporting material resources to areas with special conditions.
