At the Low-Altitude Industry Expo held in Beijing, Shenmou Technology unveiled the world's first 1.3-ton hybrid electric heavy-duty eVTOL, the "Xinghan No.1 HW450H," featuring a payload capacity of 450 kilograms, a range of 820 kilometers, and a ton-kilometer cost of 2.7 yuan, setting new performance benchmarks for heavy-duty eVTOLs worldwide.
Four major technological breakthroughs redefine industry standards
The aircraft adopts a "military-grade hybrid powertrain" architecture, with a combined output of 35 kN thrust, capable of operating in high-altitude and extreme cold environments. It can switch to pure electric mode for zero emissions during cruise. It features an innovative 60-second folding design, requiring only a 20-square-meter area for takeoff and landing, enhancing deployment efficiency by 6 times; a modular system supports rapid replacement of 12 types of mission equipment, with a single module swap taking only 10 minutes; a series wing + six-axis twelve-rotor layout provides wind resistance up to level 7.5, and the aircraft can safely return to base even if a single rotor fails.
Multi-scenario deployment highlights transformative value
In the construction of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway, material transportation costs were reduced by 90% compared to traditional methods; in emergency rescue scenarios, it can respond to disaster sites within a 200-kilometer radius within 60 minutes; in the logistics sector, it covers the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei 1-hour circle," addressing the "last-mile" delivery challenge in mountainous areas. The project plans to obtain certification by Q3 2026, leveraging its technological uniqueness to secure a position in the trillion-dollar low-altitude economy sector.
