The Lanying R6000, an unmanned convertiplane weighing 6 tons, successfully completed its first test flight in Zhejiang province, China. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This was reported by the Global Times publication. This device stands out by combining the maneuverability typical of helicopters with the high speed characteristic of airplanes.
Its design allows the propellers to change position during flight. Therefore, the convertiplane does not require conventional runways.
It can even operate effectively in unprepared areas between mountainous regions and cities. The device takes off vertically and has been recorded reaching speeds exceeding 500 km/h.
The Lanying R6000 is planned to be used in various fields. In particular, it is intended for use in aviation and medical transportation.
These tests were conducted as part of China's strategy to develop low-altitude aviation, and this technology is expected to create broad opportunities in the future.
