Chapter 252 The First Flight Mission

They briefly said that a new medium-sized logistics drone developed by Shunfeng Logistics failed during the test flight and fell into a mountain.

There is no road there, and if people grope through it, I don't know how troublesome it will be. So they came up with a way to directly use other drones to pull the drone back.

However, due to the complex terrain there, their large drones could not land, and the small drones had insufficient load capacity. Thinking that the size and load of the drones that Yinjiang Logistics had tested before seemed to be helpful, they came to ask.

Hou Xinghua asked, "Which model of UAV is it? What is the terrain like? I think it will work?"

"It's this V333 vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drone." Shunfeng's staff showed them the picture. It was an eight-rotor drone, which was 1.5 times larger than Yinjiang's current four-rotor.

According to the image information sent back by the drone, it now landed on a low-lying slope covered with weeds, which is not suitable for large-scale drones to fly at all.

"How heavy is it?" Hou Xinghua asked.

"It's about 14 kilograms," said Shunfeng's staff. "This place is not easy to operate. Let's see if you can do anything. If you can't, we'll still send someone to find it."

No matter how powerful the drone is, it must have a suitable operating space.

14 kilograms of things, at least a medium-sized logistics drone can operate, and a medium-sized drone with a tailwind is only a few meters long, and it is difficult to descend.

Hearing 14 kilograms, Hou Xinghua was in a dilemma. Their quadrotor drones could not carry as much weight, let alone perform such complicated operations.

He said: "We don't have a good way to do this. Why don't you find a local fellow and ask them to help find it back?"

"It seems that's the only way." Shunfeng's staff was also helpless.

"Is it possible to drag it back with just a noose?" Lu Zixin asked at this time.

"Yeah, it's just that the terrain is narrow and complicated and difficult to operate." The staff of Shunfeng replied.

"That's right. We want to test this drone. What are the location coordinates? Let it try." Lu Zixin pointed to the electric jet drone he brought.

"It?" The man on the downwind side looked at the drone he said in surprise. This thing was not as big as their small drone, and it didn't even have a rotor. He had to say: "You are so funny."

In his opinion, to carry 14 kilograms of things, at least a medium-sized drone is required. The standard small UAV they are developing now has a payload of 3 kilograms, and the thing Lu Zixin said can carry a kilogram is not bad.

"No kidding, let's start the operation, it's our first actual flight test." Lu Zixin instructed Hongxin's team to say.

"Okay, let's start now" Hongxin's team immediately prepared.

Seeing that they are really ready to start work, not to mention those who are downwind, Hou Xinghua is speechless, hoping that they might as well quickly find a fellow to help pick up the drone.

However, Hongxin's team has already started the operation. The bottom of the small flying saucer originally has a light mechanical grappling hook, which can easily grab items.

In the eyes of everyone, the small flying saucer started to start, took off vertically, flew directly into the sky, and headed to the coordinate location.

"I'm going, it's actually a jet!" Shunfeng's staff was stunned, such a small thing is still a jet drone, it's a bit powerful!

They have also studied jet devices downwind, but they are large drones, and the wings alone are 20 meters long, so small they have never thought about it.

The speed of the small flying saucer is very fast, and it arrived at the accident site in less than ten minutes. Through the camera of the drone, it can be clearly seen that the downwind malfunctioning aircraft has landed in a low-lying area.

The staff of Shunfeng said: "Yes, right here, there are too many weeds and branches here, our rotor drone will definitely be entangled when going down. You flying saucers don't have to worry about this problem, that is, our stuff weighs 14 kilograms. Can't carry it?"

"14 kilograms is more than enough!" The operator of the Hongxin team said confidently. After speaking, he began to operate the small flying saucer to aim at the target and descend, and then stretched out the seemingly small but tough mechanical grappling hook to catch it. Downwind malfunctioning machine.

"Get up!" the operator said. The small flying saucer has successfully lifted off with the malfunctioning aircraft. From the perspective of climbing, its power is completely sufficient, and it doesn't look like it can't afford it at all!

"Actually brought it up!" Except for the person who came from the red letter, the rest of the people opened their eyes wide and looked at the picture from the camera.

"It's flying!" Hou Xinghua couldn't help but shout, only those who have studied it know how incredible this is!

Their quadrotor drone is more than three times the size of this small flying saucer, and has half the load capacity.

Moreover, this small flying saucer has canceled the rotor device and is completely operated by the electric jet device, which is too advanced! I really don't know how the motor inside is designed, and how the energy conversion is carried out...

Everyone in the Yinjiang team was stunned to see this scene, and the small flying saucer had already returned home with the malfunctioning aircraft.

This shows that the goal that Lu Zixin said just now is not impossible to achieve, but they have already completed it! It's like they're still working on the nine-nine multiplication table, and people have already started working on functions.

In contrast, their quadcopter drones are simply garbage, and they can't be used at all!

Is the red letter really that good? The researchers of the Yinjiang Logistics R&D team felt a bitterness in their hearts. The gap is too big!

The Shunfeng staff member was also stunned. When he came here, he just had the mentality of giving it a try. Who knew that the other party not only promised to help, but also did it!

Most importantly, they were using a jet that they had never heard of before, and their payload and flight capabilities were even better than their mid-sized octa-rotor drone!

In terms of logistics drones, Shunfeng has always been the leader in China, and even the first company to obtain flight operation rights. They are proud of this aspect. However, when he saw this small flying saucer today, he found out that there is still such a thing. Magical stuff!

If the size of this small flying saucer were several times larger, wouldn't the carrying capacity be greater? He felt a kind of surprise and panic, and there was actually a technology more advanced than them in this small research base next to him!

After the operator gave the order to return, the small flying saucer quickly returned with the malfunctioning aircraft. When it landed on the square of the research base, everyone looked at it with burning eyes!

They really want to know what secrets are hidden in this thing, and they can't wait to open it up and study it right away.
