Product overview
Zhuhai SV Tech Co., Ltd.’s SV-T30 is a tethered flight platform for sustained station keeping within a fixed area, supporting communications, lighting, observation and industry-specific payload integration. The eight-motor aircraft weighs 34 kg and has a rated payload of 30 kg. Its 1500 mm motor wheelbase accompanies operating dimensions of 1500 × 1500 × 800 mm, folding to 650 × 650 × 800 mm for storage. It uses 32 × 12 in carbon-fiber composite propellers. Final configuration depends on operating conditions and mutually confirmed specifications.
The system combines the flight platform, 500 V DC ground power and automatic tether handling. The W30 ground box weighs 45 kg, measures 600 × 600 × 600 mm and accepts 380 V AC at 50-60 Hz, with a rated output of 20 kW. Integration requires matching the ground box, onboard supply, backup power, cable and handling mechanism as one system. Selection must account for payload mass and power demand, target height, site power, cable weight, voltage drop and wind loading. Different ground station power versions must not be mixed.
The 100 m tether specifies cable length; inclined routing, sag, ground routing and safety margin reduce usable flight height. Automatic payout and retrieval operate at 1 m/s. Generator-powered flight duration is nominally 8 h, with actual duration dependent on fuel, payload, environment and operating procedures. Onboard redundant power supports a controlled response to supply interruption. The ground station’s 20 kW rating and each motor’s 6000 W maximum output describe separate electrical parameters.
