Model: Ark-500
Mission Scenarios: Strategic Material Delivery, Emergency Transportation in Disaster Areas, Supplies for Remote Areas
Core Technologies:
Ultra-Heavy Payload System
- Carrying Capacity: The cargo hold volume is 150m³ (capable of loading 30 tons of supplies). It adopts a "magnetic quick-release shelf", and can complete the loading and unloading of containers within 5 minutes. A single flight can transport the combat supplies for 30 days of a standard infantry company (80 people).
- Airdrop Technology: It is equipped with a high-precision parachute system (with an airdrop accuracy of < 50m) and supports the "hard landing without parachute" mode (with an inflatable buffer pad inside the cargo hold). It can complete the delivery of supplies in complex terrains such as deserts and snowfields.
All-Weather Navigation System
- Positioning Technology: It integrates the short message communication of Beidou-3, inertial navigation, and visual navigation (12 groups of fisheye cameras). In a GPS-denied environment, the positioning accuracy is < 2m, and it successfully passed through the harsh meteorological conditions in the earthquake-stricken area of Nepal in 2025.
- Obstacle Avoidance Ability: The forward millimeter-wave radar (with a detection range of 500m) cooperates with the lidar (with a resolution of 1cm), which can identify obstacles above 0.5m and automatically plan a detour route, increasing the flight safety in mountainous areas by 60%.
Reliability Design
- Power Redundancy: It is equipped with 6 heavy oil engines (3 main and 3 standby). When a single engine fails, it can still maintain 70% of the load for cruising. It has passed the FAA Part 25 airworthiness certification, and the accident rate is 80% lower than that of traditional transport aircraft.
- Convenient Maintenance: It adopts a "modular replacement" design. Key components (engines, avionics) can be quickly replaced within 30 minutes, increasing the maintenance efficiency in the war zone by 3 times.
Practical Combat Value:
- Logistics Revolution: In the Middle East battlefield in 2025, the Ark-500 group delivered 800 tons of supplies to the front-line troops within 72 hours, saving 40% of the transportation time compared with traditional transport aircraft and alleviating the "last mile" supply problem.
- Humanitarian Miracle: During the earthquake rescue in Turkey, a single Ark-500 airdropped 200 temporary tents + 50 tons of drinking water, establishing an aerial supply line in the disaster area with interrupted roads and creating a record for the weight of supplies rescued by a single unmanned aerial vehicle.
Technical Parameters:
- Maximum Takeoff Weight: 80 tons
- Payload: 30 tons (internal cabin) + 10 tons (external hanging)
- Range: 8000km (fully loaded)/12000km (empty)
- Takeoff and Landing Distance: 600m (ordinary runway)/300m (short takeoff and landing mode)
