Solution Overview

This solution takes the 17-inch FPV heavy-lift industrial drone as the core operational platform. Leveraging its 17-inch heavy airframe design, 8S-10S wide-voltage powertrain, 13kg maximum / 10kg standard operating payload capacity, 100A high-current ESC + 5322 high-torque motor heavy-load tuning, 25-minute long endurance with 8kg payload, multi-band high-power long-range video link and ELRS long-range receiver system, it provides high-capacity, long-endurance, high-reliability, cost-effective unmanned operation solutions for four core heavy-duty scenarios: large-scale engineering surveying & exploration, bulk heavy-load logistics & delivery, large industrial facility inspection, and emergency rescue heavy delivery. It addresses core industry pain points such as insufficient payload and endurance of small and medium drones, high cost and slow deployment of large industrial UAVs, and poor stability in heavy-load operations, achieving the optimal balance of efficiency, cost and reliability in heavy-load operation scenarios.

Four Common Pain Points in Heavy-Duty Operations

1. Insufficient payload and endurance of small/medium drones: FPV drones of 15 inches and below generally have a payload under 8kg with limited endurance, unable to carry heavy survey equipment and bulk supplies, falling short in long-distance heavy-duty tasks.
2. Excessive cost of professional industrial UAVs: Large industrial-grade UAVs have high procurement and maintenance costs, delivering very poor value for medium-heavy tasks. They also feature large form factors, long deployment cycles and poor maneuverability, struggling to operate flexibly in complex scenarios.
3. Poor stability and sustainability under heavy load: Small and medium models suffer from poor flight stability under heavy load, shaky footage and insufficient data accuracy. Short endurance requires frequent takeoffs and landings, hurting operational efficiency and safety.
4. Poor adaptability in complex environments: Industrial scenarios have strong electromagnetic interference and many building obstructions, causing common video links to drop out. Standard cameras produce poor image quality in low light, limiting night and long-endurance operations.
