Antai Composites delivered the first fully composite wing section of the TP500 unmanned transport aircraft
The TP500 unmanned transport aircraft will mainly be used in the unmanned cargo transportation market. The maximum take-off weight is 1.4 tons, the commercial capacity is 500 Kg, the maximum speed is 260 km/h, and the maximum range is 1,000 km.
The whole machine is mainly designed and manufactured using composite materials, and is assembled and connected by an advanced integrated process, which reduces the structural weight to the greatest extent. Mainly to meet the needs of the unmanned freight transportation market in China’s mainland and islands, as well as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and other countries and regions, the TP500 can be retrofitted to perform remote sensing mapping, human shadow engineering, communication support, emergency rescue and other tasks.
The unmanned transport aircraft is developed by the First Aircraft Institute as the overall development unit, and Yitong UAV System Co., Ltd. as the overall assembly unit. Antai Composites is mainly responsible for the development of the entire section of the composite wing. The processing and manufacturing of structured products have successfully passed the airworthiness certification.
Another Chinese major composite materials manufacturer, Guangwei Composites, recently delivered the first rear fuselage and tail wing of the TP500 unmanned transport aircraft to the First Aircraft Institute and Yitong UAV Systems Co., Ltd.
