Product overview
The Xianghong Smart Bee UAV is an upright VTOL fixed-wing aircraft for point-to-point urban delivery and medium- to long-distance logistics. Hybrid fuel-electric propulsion supports its transport role, while vertical takeoff and landing remove the need for a runway. The aircraft automatically transitions between vertical and horizontal flight and supports autonomous flight throughout. Its deployment environments include mountainous terrain, forests and densely built areas. Folding wings and tail surfaces deploy or stow in a few seconds, and one person can operate the aircraft.
Modular construction supports maintenance, while mission equipment integration includes an intelligent gimbal for reconnaissance and target tracking. With visible-light and infrared sensing, the UAV supports all-weather reconnaissance, anomaly alerts and automatic target following. Wide-angle and zoom optics serve target coverage and detailed imaging respectively. A small base station can enable automatic landing, capture and recovery without a pilot. A shared ground station can control multiple aircraft simultaneously, supporting mutual relay functions, staggered operations and mission handovers.
