The airframe employs carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and engineering-grade thermoplastics, incorporating EPO (expanded polyolefin) integral foam molding for the aerodynamic shell, ensuring outstanding structural integrity with minimal weight penalty.

Both forward and rear wing spars utilize an integrated box-beam design, increasing load-bearing ability and torsional stiffness during flight.

Gram-level precision weight control is attained via structural analysis and overload testing protocols, optimizing mass distribution based on stress profiles in wing, empennage, and fuselage assemblies.

The nose section features a four-point interlocking connection structure, known for its stability and ease of disassembly.

The nose section features two 9-pin connectors facilitating communication between the aircraft's flight control system and signals like image transmission, remote control, and airspeed.

Our battery compartment, measuring 340x220x156mm, is designed for four 6S 30000mAh semi-solid-state batteries. Secure them with durable nylon fiber and metal buckle ties.

Aluminum alloy and carbon fiber landing gear, compact when folded. High ground clearance when deployed, large payload capacity, tail rotor does not touch ground.

The aircraft's center of balance is positioned at the wing wing swivel.Before takeoff, always verify that the aircraft's center of balance aligns with the wing swivel.

The compartment measures 130x45x34 mm with an optional 200A power distribution board, dual Hall effect current detection, Dronecan digital communication, and simple efficient wiring.

The payload compartment measures 395x216x151mm and can hold a lightweight lidar unit weighing 3-5kg.

The cabin includes cable trays and detachable baffles, ensuring straightforward and effective wiring.

The flight control cabin adopts an open design platform, compatible with open-source/commercial flight control installations. The optional IND version flight control can optimize the flight path sequence and direction.

The GPS compartment can handle dual GPS + compass modules, and the electromagnetic environment is pristine.

Two RTK antenna mounting spots are allocated at the front and back of the fuselage, enabling dual RTK direction finding capabilities.

Optional cruise electronic speed controller (ESC) belly mounting, external aluminum casing for superior heat dissipation.

The vertical tail fin may come pre-embedded with a 195mm rat-tail rubber rod antenna, enhancing support strength and minimizing electromagnetic interference.

The horizontal stabilizer boasts a tool-less quick-release mechanism; a simple push securely locks it, while a press effortlessly releases it.

The tail fin can be fitted with an all-metal hollow cup servo, providing increased torque and a more robust metal rocker arm. The servo does not need pre-installation, ensuring convenient installation.

An extensive flight testing has led to a setup with 6-series motors and 21-inch propellers, resulting in low power consumption and extended endurance. Power output is precisely tailored to meet cruise aerodynamic requirements.

The wing's total rigidity is maintained by two sets of sleeves. The main sleeve is 20x945mm in diameter, with the inner sleeve measuring 17x1150mm. The secondary sleeve is 17x945mm in diameter, and the inner sleeve is 14x1000mm.

Two industrial-grade high-current connectors separate the wings and fuselage, enhancing current carrying capacity and achieving synchronous separation of electrical and mechanical components.

The steering gear bay facilitates the placement of an airspeed meter, connecting to both dynamic and static airspeed tubes for enhanced airspeed detection.

The dual aileron servos' parallel drive design ensures safety redundancy and enhances stability in high-speed flight.

The control surfaces are strengthened with embedded carbon nanotubes, and the rudder angle fixing plate is expanded to minimize control surface deformation. High-strength hinges link the control surfaces for accurate control and dependable connection.

The wingtips have pre-installed navigation light mounting locations for future modifications and flight safety.

The rotor follows a standard quadrilateral format with a 1m side, aligning with the fixed wing's center of gravity for seamless flight transitions.

Applying a film to the upper and lower surfaces of the wing root enhances the dispersion of wing loads and improves torsional stiffness.

When used with the optional wiring harness, the vertical lift's entire boom facilitates maintenance by enabling easy installation and removal.

The midpoint of the arm utilizes 30mm carbon fiber square tubing, securely fastened to the primary and secondary carbon tubing of the wing with 8 screws for stability.

The square and round tubes utilize an aluminum alloy self-locking folding design, enabling easy folding and secure locking with a simple press and turn mechanism.

An in-depth analysis resulted in choosing a 6-series motor and a 22-inch carbon fiber propeller, achieving a maximum pulling force of 15kg. The high-power-density motor leads to a lighter weight for the same pulling force.

Optional high-power ESC, firmware optimized for motor and propeller characteristics, minimizes heat generation and maximizes efficiency. Utilizes large MOS chip for robust power output, validated at 80℃ for longevity.
