Recently, the Feihong 98 unmanned transport aircraft system developed and produced by the subordinate units of the ninth Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd. has successfully completed the first flight mission of pilot operation route approved by CAAC, becoming the first large-scale unmanned transport aircraft system to complete pilot operation route flight in China.

During this flight, the Feihong 98 UAV completed two trans provincial missions of "Ningxia Inner Mongolia" in a single day according to the scheduled route, and achieved a smooth landing under adverse weather conditions, which fully demonstrated the system's mature remote take-off and landing control technology and standardized transition flight control process, and laid a solid foundation for accelerating the commercial operation of the system.

In the evening of the same day, with rainy and windy weather, the unmanned transport plane returned and landed smoothly. This is another key node of the successful flight of this aircraft after the success of public demonstration flight, aerial material delivery drill and large load transfer flight test. It fully verifies the applicability of the Feihong 98 UAV system to the regional logistics scene, and preliminarily verifies the compliance of the Feihong 98 UAV system to some airworthiness standards.

Feihong 98 large commercial UAV is a successful example of the ninth Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology Group in vigorously developing aerospace technology application industry, promoting technology integration and system integration, and developing system level products. It makes full use of mature flight control technology, measurement and control technology and sensing transmission technology to transform China's transport 5B transport aircraft. The maximum takeoff weight is 5.25 tons, the maximum load is 1.5 tons, the maximum volume is 15 cubic meters, the flight height is 4500 meters, the cruise speed is 180 km / h, the maximum range is 1200 km, and the takeoff and landing distance is only 150 meters. It can be used for complex terrain conditions The multi-purpose logistics transportation has the characteristics of simple take-off and landing, simple operation, advanced technology, reliable flight, low cost, etc., and its commercial carrying capacity ranks the top in the world.

After putting into commercial operation, the aircraft can radiate regional hubs to surrounding cities, open up new air logistics channels of domestic trunk and branch lines, and provide efficient and fast transportation means for high value-added goods such as fresh cold chain products, deep processed products of agriculture and animal husbandry, precious Chinese herbal medicine and medical supplies, which is of great significance to improve the efficiency of branch line transportation, reduce the cost of air logistics, solve the shortage of pilots and improve the quality of service Human fatigue limit and other issues are of great significance, and will become a new growth point in the development of general aviation industry, and contribute to helping agriculture and poverty alleviation.
