The domestic large-scale plant protection drone TDN-01 came out, promoting the steady development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers

Charging, take-off, spraying, turning, hovering, returning to the field, and landing... This series of actions that simulate actual field flight was made by the large agricultural unmanned helicopter TDN-01 in a flight demonstration event in Tianjin.

In recent years, unmanned plant protection and flying defense have become a hot word in the field of agriculture, rural areas and farmers. According to industry reports, relevant state departments are formulating subsidies for plant protection drones. At the same time, the management specifications of agricultural plant protection drones are also being solicited. These measures will provide guarantee for the healthy and sustainable development of the industry.

"At present, plant protection drones are mainly small motors, with a drug load of no more than 10 liters, taking off and landing every 15 minutes or so, which is more frequent." said Liu Yunling, a professor at China Agricultural University, United Aircraft (AVIC) TDN-01 The drug volume has reached 80 liters, which is the model with the largest drug load and the longest battery life among domestic agricultural drones.

She further analyzed that based on the calculation of 20 minutes for each sortie and 8 hours of work per day, theoretically 2,000 acres can be operated a day, and it can reach about 1,500 acres at a 60% operation efficiency. "After it enters the market, it will make up for the shortcomings of the current small drones, and will play an important role in plant protection and flight defense for large areas in the north." Liu Yunling emphasized.

Syngenta is the world's leading pesticide company. The company’s China Marketing Director Liu De said that the rapid expansion of UAV plant protection and flight defense applications is inseparable from the development of China’s agriculture. "Syngenta has been paying attention to the latest development of agricultural drones, trying to use these equipment to provide the best plant protection solutions for Chinese agriculture. We will be the first to try to apply TDN-01, a large plant protection drone, especially in the Northeast market. ."

Wang Jun, vice president of United Aircraft Corporation (AVIC), was interviewed by the media after the test flight. He said frankly: "In the future, the scale, mechanization, and unmanned agriculture of our country are expected to become new trends. We will soon deliver the first batch of prototypes for field flights, and we plan to complete the finalization in one to two years and prepare for mass production in 2020 ."

It is understood that the entire production capacity of this model will be promoted by the Zhongzhan Financial Leasing Company in the form of leasing, thereby reducing the capital threshold for users to purchase the complete machine. This is also the industry's first capacity leasing model.

It is reported that United Aircraft Corporation (AVIC) is a company established in 2012 that specializes in UAV R&D and manufacturing. At present, it has more than 20 international invention patents, and puts more than 10 models on domestic and foreign markets. It produces more than 200 UAVs annually, which are widely used in border defense, electricity, agriculture and other markets. In the field of unmanned helicopters, it has the world's leading technical level and completely independent intellectual property rights.
