China's cutting-edge CH-YH1000 unmanned logistics aircraft has aced its first test flight in Northwest China, marking a leap forward in autonomous cargo transport. Sporting a sleek, aerodynamic design optimized for efficiency, this drone streamlines loading and unloading like never before.
The CH-YH1000 packs serious versatility: its upward-opening nose allows seamless cargo access, while a belly hatch enables precision airdrops mid-flight. Powered by dual engines, this workhorse can haul 1.2 tons of cargo with a 1,500 km range and stay aloft for 10 hours. Short runways? Rough terrain? No problem—it conquers grass, dirt, even water and snow (thanks to flotation and sled attachments).
Built to bridge urban hubs and remote areas, the CH-YH1000 is key to China's transportation upgrade, turbocharging deliveries in underserved regions. By leveraging autonomous night flights during low air traffic, it maximizes efficiency, proving itself as a game-changer for the low-altitude economy.
Why it matters:
2.3-ton max takeoff weight
All-terrain, all-weather ops
24/7 sensor-driven logistics
Cost-effective rural access
This isn’t just a drone—it’s a logistics revolution taking flight.
