HW-200 Blast-Off

HW-200 Blast-Off (Teng-Fei or Tengfei, 腾飞) is a miniature UAV designed for long endurance. HW-200 Blast-Off UAV is in twin-boom layout with inverted v-tail. There are two models developed as of 2013, HW-200A, which does not have landing gear and thus is recovered via parachute, and another version with tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage.[1] Specification:[2]

  • Wingspan: 3.5 m

HW-200B Blast-Off

Although sharing the same name Blast-off and similar designation, HW-200B is a completely different UAV than HW-200A. Instead of the twin boom layout of HW-200/200A, HW-200B is an UAV in conventional layout with high wing configuration and tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven tractor engine mounted in the nose. W-200B has been deployed during 2013 Lushan earthquake in post disaster geographical analysis.[3]

HW-210

HW-210 is fixed-wing UAV developed by HiWING, and it is in twin-boom layout and high-wing configuration with inverted v-tail. HW-210 has the same layout with HW-200 and it is a development of HW-200. As with HW-200, propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. Specification:[4]

  • Wingspan: 3.5 m
  • Length: 2.1 m
  • Max take-off weight: 22 kg
  • Payload: 5 kg
  • Power plant: gasoline
  • Cruise speed: 80–120 km/h
  • Endurance: 12–16 h
  • Ceiling: 5 km
  • Control radius: 50 km
  • Launch: catapult
  • Recovery: parachute
  • Max wind scale allowed for operation: 6

HW-220

HW-230 is fixed-wing UAV developed by HiWING, and it is in twin-boom layout and high-wing configuration with twin tail. HW-230 has the same layout with HW-200/210 and it is tricycle landing gear system. As with HW-200, propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. Specification:[5]

  • Wingspan: 2.7 m
  • Length: 2.1 m
  • Max take-off weight: 18 kg
  • Payload: 5 kg
  • Power plant:
  • Cruise speed: 100–120 km/h
  • Endurance: 2–3 h
  • Ceiling: 4 km
  • Control radius: 30 km
  • Launch: catapult
  • Recovery: parachute
  • Max wind scale allowed for operation: 6

HW-230

HW-230 is an UAV in conventional layout with high wing configuration. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a tractor engine mounted in the nose, and the UAV has a tricycle landing gear system. Specification:[6]

  • Wingspan: 3 m
  • Length: 2 m
  • Max take-off weight: 32 kg
  • Payload: 5 kg
  • Power plant: internal combustion engine
  • Cruise speed: 90–110 km/h
  • Endurance: 3–4 h
  • Ceiling: 4 km
  • Control radius: 120 km
  • Launch: catapult, taxiing
  • Recovery: parachute, taxiing
  • Max wind scale allowed for operation: 6

HW-260

HW-260 is a fixed-wing UAV in twin boom layout with high wing configuration and tricycle landing gear. HW-260 UAV has inverted v-tail. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. Specification:[7]

  • Weight (kg): 26
  • Wingspan (m): 3.6
  • Length (m): 2.2
  • Endurance (hr): 8 – 12
  • Speed (km/hr): 80 – 120
