Meet the T1400 🚁, the latest unmanned helicopter developed by Harbin United Aircraft Technology Co. under United Aircraft Group. It just aced its maiden flight in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province in the northeast of the Chinese mainland, showing off nimble moves like hovering, route flights, and precision landings.
With a max takeoff weight of 1,400 kg (hello, tonne-class era! 🎉), the T1400 packs a 650 kg payload—that’s like lifting 10 adults in one go—and stays airborne for over eight hours. Built to handle extreme conditions (think -40°C to 55°C), it can reach heights up to 6,500 meters and brave strong winds.
This chopper isn’t just flexing on specs. It signals a big leap for the Chinese mainland’s aviation sector, opening doors for heavy-lift missions in search and rescue, cargo delivery, and more. For tech lovers who live for cutting-edge gear, the T1400 is one to watch!
Stay tuned as we track how this drone chopper transforms industries and redefines what unmanned flight can do. Up, up, and away! 🚀
