The FWH-1500 has successfully carried out operations in fire suppression and flood relief.
Exploring a spectrum of utility missions for its expanding fleet of heavy-lift unmanned aircraft, Chinese rotorcraft developer Flightwin-Innovation is venturing into diverse applications. Established in 2008, Flightwin-Innovation has crafted a range of aircraft, spanning from the 200-kg mtow FHW-300 to the 1,000-kg FWH-1500 and the 2,500-kg tandem-rotor FWH-3000. The showcased models at this year’s Dubai Airshow include the FWH-1500 and the tandem FWH-3000.
Boasting a maximum payload of 300 kg and a five-hour flight capability, the FWH-1500 is versatile for various tasks. It can be equipped with material boxes for delivering items to challenging locations such as mountains, island reefs, and disaster-stricken areas via rappel or airdrop. Additionally, fitted with fire-extinguishing bombs, the FWH-1500 expands its functionality to cover over 50 sq km for fire reconnaissance, prevention, and suppression.
The aircraft can also be adapted for different purposes, including the incorporation of optoelectronic pods for reconnaissance or search and rescue operations in intricate terrains. Moreover, medical pods can be added for emergency transport needs. Having successfully executed fire suppression operations and contributed to flood relief in Beijing during a 10-day period, the FWH-1500 demonstrated its capabilities, including night flights in heavy rain while delivering emergency supplies.
Moving up the scale, the FWH-3000 helicopter features a 4.2-cubic-meter interior cabin, capable of simultaneously transporting six patients. With a 1,000-kg maximum payload and a five-hour endurance, Flightwin designed this aircraft for long-range missions.
The smallest member of the unmanned family, the FW-300, carries a 50-kg maximum payload, maintaining a four-hour flight duration at a ceiling of 4,000 meters. Aside from civil utility missions, Flightwin-Innovation has designed these helicopters for military logistics and army training.
