  The reporter learned from the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (hereinafter referred to as the Aviation Industry Corporation of China) on the 4th that on the 3rd, the HH-100 aviation commercial unmanned transport system demonstrator independently developed by the Aviation Industry XAC Civil Aircraft successfully completed the last high-speed autonomous taxi lift. Front wheel subjects. The aircraft is in stable condition and has good autonomous taxiing control performance, marking the completion of the entire taxiing test and successfully entering the first flight stage.

  The HH-100 aviation commercial unmanned transport system is a new member of XAC's civil aircraft product lineage and a key project for industry incubation. In December 2023, the HH-100 aviation commercial unmanned transport system completed the final assembly and integration of the entire aircraft and entered the ground test stage; at the end of February this year, the aircraft transferred to Yongchang Airport in Beichuan, Sichuan to complete preparations before the taxi test.

  In accordance with the overall policy of "project management, business support, and system guarantee", in early March, under the organization of the XAC Civil Aircraft Project Management Department of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, a test team composed of design, manufacturing, quality and suppliers was fully stationed in Beichuan. Yongchang Airport has begun taxiing-related tests of the HH-100 aviation commercial unmanned transportation system. This model is a new platform for XAC's civil aircraft industry development. It encountered many challenges during the development process. The project team rose to the challenge and overcame difficulties. In just one month, they successively overcame difficulties such as low-speed, medium-speed, and high-speed manual taxiing subjects, autonomous taxiing data collection, and control law parameter adjustment, laying a solid foundation for the smooth launch of the first flight test. Base.

  The HH-100 aviation commercial unmanned transportation system consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle platform and a command and control system (ground station). It has the characteristics of low cost, large tonnage, high payload, and national production. Adopting the development model of "mainframe + supplier + strategic partner", the airframe structure, system finished products, etc. are provided by internal units of the aviation industry and private enterprises.

  It is reported that the HH-100 aviation commercial unmanned transport system has a maximum take-off weight of 2,000 kilograms, a commercial load capacity of 700 kilograms, a full-load range of 520 kilometers, a maximum cruising speed of 300 kilometers per hour, and a maximum operating altitude of 5,000 meters. Main application scenarios include feeder logistics, forest/grassland fire extinguishing, fire monitoring, rescue material transportation and delivery, relay communications and artificial rainfall enhancement, etc. (over)
