Product overview
The Honeycomb Aerospace HC-325 is a complete multi-rotor flight platform, not an airframe-only kit. It is built for emergency surveillance, disaster reconnaissance and real-time monitoring of disaster areas. The airframe uses a four-rotor layout with folding construction, so it packs into a small space and is easy to transport between sites. It can hover, take off and land autonomously, and follow planned routes. These functions support quick deployment and detailed inspection work in complex emergency settings. Its maximum payload is 3kg. Power comes from a semi-solid lithium battery module, which gives a maximum flight time of 70min when carrying a 2kg payload.
The flight control system has dual GPS and dual IMU units for redundancy and backup. It controls attitude, altitude, heading and position during automatic flight. Operators can switch between automatic and manual modes in flight, and the dual control mode lets them change the waypoint-based flight plan at any time. The system accepts an external digital radio and supports beyond-visual-range flight. Multiple no-fly zone restrictions are built in. The supporting Honeycomb Intelligent Control Software offers one-click intelligent control and shows mission information and flight status in real time.
The aircraft works with several payload platforms. One is a full-frame oblique camera for rapid 3D modelling of buildings, roads and terrain. Another is a triple-lens gimbal camera that combines a 640×512 thermal imaging sensor, a laser rangefinder with a range of up to 1200m, 30x optical and 180x hybrid zoom, a 1/2.7 inch SONY CMOS sensor for 4K video and photos, and a 2K ultra-wide-angle camera. This gimbal also offers AI tracking and recognition powered by a neural network processor, unlimited rotation on the heading axis, and a quick-release mount with shock absorption. Its gimbal control interface can connect to third-party link products.
