Three-engined variant of China’s Tengden TB001 strike-capable UAV makes maiden flight

The designation of the new variant, which unlike the TW328/TB001 ‘Twin Tailed Scorpion’ UAV has an additional third piston engine on its tail, was not revealed. However, Global Times quoted the Chengdu Daily newspaper as saying that the platform has a flight ceiling of 9,500 m, a maximum climb rate of 10 m/s, and a top speed of more than 300 km/h. It also said the platform, which has an overall wingspan of 20 m and is 11 m long, has a maximum take-off weight of 3.2 tonnes and an endurance of 35 hours.
Quoting the chinanews.com website, Global Times reported that the UAV, which can also be used in areas such as disaster relief, forest firefighting, geographic mapping, meteorological observation, and aerial communications relay will be “put into market in all fronts” in 2021.

The regular TW328/TB001 is a twin-tail MALE UAV powered by two piston engines of an unknown type. The platform conducted its maiden flight on 31 October 2017. It has an endurance of 35 hours and a range of about 6,000 km.

UAVOS has expanded its product portfolio of vertical take-off and landing unmanned aerial vehicles (VTOL UAVs) with the UVH R22 platform, which is derived from the Robinson R22 single-engine light utility helicopter.

According to company specifications, the UVH R22 has a MTOW of 635 kg, measures 8.8 m long and 2.7 m tall, and has a main rotor diameter of 7.7 m. The air vehicle is powered by a 4-stroke Lycoming O-320-A2B engine that produces up to 124 hp, enabling it to cruise and sprint at speeds of up to 160 and 189 km/h, respectively, and attain a service ceiling of 13,779 ft (4,200 m) at a nominal climb rate of 6 m/s. The UVH R22 is also equipped with a 270 litre fuel tank that supports an operational range of 1,020 km or a flight endurance of up to six hours, and can carry 40 kg of stores when carrying a full fuel load. Possible payloads include a LIDAR or radar SAR, or electro-optical sensors and scientific measurement devices.

The company intends to pitch the all-weather air vehicle –which allows it to be capable of taking off and landing on a level surface 15×15 m in size and in wind speeds of up to 14 m/s– to customers that require the ability to perform mission critical deliveries in austere environments, with possible applications including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR).

UAVOS chief executive officer and lead developer Aliaksei Stratsilatau told Jane’s that the conversion programme commenced in May 2018 under a partnership with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) with first flight achieved in April 2019 in the kingdom.
