Product overview
The Zhejiang Cableway Aerospace C-400 is a heavy-lift multirotor flight platform for mountain engineering and transport. Its physical architecture uses eight axes and sixteen propellers, with deployed dimensions of 490 × 490 × 65 cm and stowed dimensions of 210 × 210 × 200 cm. Aircraft weight is 190 kg excluding batteries. It carries a standard payload of 320 kg and a maximum payload of 400 kg, with a maximum takeoff weight of 700 kg.
The aircraft uses eight batteries with an energy capacity of at least 20 kWh. Endurance is 25 minutes unladen or 8 minutes carrying the standard 320 kg payload. Charging time is 15 minutes per set with four fast chargers, and the charging ambient temperature range is -10°C to 45°C. A weighing system is standard equipment. Landing-assistance radar and front/rear obstacle-avoidance radar are optional equipment, so these functions depend on the selected aircraft configuration.
Cruise speed is 10 m/s, maximum horizontal speed is 20 m/s, and maximum ascent/descent speed is 8 m/s. Communication distance is 30 km with line of sight and no interference. Wind resistance is Level 7, while operating temperature spans -20°C to 55°C. The flight ceiling is ≤3000 m. With high-altitude propellers fitted, maximum operating altitude has conflicting ratings of ≥4500 m and ≤4500 m; the propeller requirement applies to both figures.
