Not long ago, Ha'erbin Shengshi Special Flying Machine, China-Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation No. 4 Institute, and Harbin Engineering University, have jointly made the debut of a UFO like flying machine. With a diameter of 1.2m, and a weight of 10 kg, the flying machine is designed with a special dynamic system in a UFO shape, able to fly to a height of 50~1000m at a speed of 0~80km per hour. The flying machine flies 40 minutes with a full fuel load, enjoying the merits of both helicopter and aircraft, including lower altitude flying, flying at a reduced speed, vertical taking off and landing, and suspension flying. Unrestricted by terrains and with a pre-set flying route, the flying machine can be used to provide technical support for numerous missions, including aerial photographing, geological mapping, high pressure power line inspection, oil pipeline inspection, high way management, forest fire inspection, toxicant gas inspection, drug traffic control, emergency telecommunication platform, and rescue. |
