On January 11th, China's independently developed "Tianma-1000" unmanned transport aircraft achieved a successful maiden flight. Its intelligent loading and unloading system can independently load and unload ton level materials within 5 minutes, enabling direct delivery of ton level materials to areas that are difficult to cover by roads and railways within half a day, playing a key role in emergency rescue. It is reported that the "Tianma-1000" is independently developed by Xi'an Aisheng Technology Group Co., Ltd. of China Ordnance Industry Group. It integrates logistics transportation, emergency rescue, material delivery and other functions, and is the first hollow low-cost transportation platform in China to achieve "adaptation to complex high-altitude terrain, ultra short takeoff and landing, and fast switching between freight and airdrop dual-mode". This aircraft adopts a dual engine design, which has the advantages of long range and endurance, with a maximum range of 1800 kilometers, and can be built into an "air express". At the same time, it has intelligent route planning and autonomous obstacle avoidance capabilities, which can autonomously identify and avoid various obstacles such as mountains and buildings, and automatically plan safe and economical flight paths in unfamiliar airspace and complex terrain. In addition, this model adopts a modular cargo hold design that can be quickly "swapped", allowing the cargo hold to be "plug and play", achieving functions such as cluster deployment and communication relay switching, further improving emergency response speed. The 'big guy' can make the 'big power' 'Tianma-1000' have a maximum load capacity of 1 ton, which is equivalent to the weight of a standard small car. This aircraft model achieves full process automation from task planning, cargo loading and unloading to flight execution, and can independently load and unload ton level materials within 5 minutes, saving time and labor costs. When facing scenarios such as supply, emergency rescue, and emergency material transportation in remote areas, the "Tianma-1000" can deliver ton level materials directly to areas that are difficult to cover by roads and railways within half a day without transit, achieving single and large-scale transportation of key materials such as food, medicine, equipment, etc. that meet the needs of several days, making the delivery of "thousands of miles away" "overnight" and solving the dilemma of "unable to enter, unable to afford transportation, and unable to supply". Adapting to multiple scenarios with precise takeoff and landing, the "Tianma-1000" has a maximum altitude of 8000 meters and a sliding takeoff and landing distance of less than 200 meters. It has low requirements for takeoff and landing sites and can take off and land on non hardened sites such as grasslands and compacted soil roads. This enables it to quickly deploy in temporary locations such as wilderness and rural areas, and establish flexible supply stations. In addition, this aircraft model is equipped with an optical guidance assisted landing system, which can intelligently identify landing areas in low visibility conditions such as rain, snow, fog, and haze, achieving high-precision autonomous landing and ensuring stable mission execution in complex climate environments such as plateaus and coastal areas. It is reported that the "Tianma-1000" will be applied in civilian logistics, disaster relief, border supply, special transportation and other scenarios in the future, injecting new momentum into the development of China's low altitude economy.
