July 19, 2022
Shenzhen Fengyi Technology Co., Ltd. (which belongs to SF Express) works with HEISHA Tech to launch the L200 autonomous VTOL drone charging and docking station.
L200 VTOL cargo drone solution is a complete air delivery system with automatic robot hardware and a simplified operating system that is even easier than using a phone.
L200 uses a mobile container as the drone charging and controlling base, which requires no installation. There is a working stable, a big monitor, and an air conditioner inside, it only takes one person to put the package inside the drone and control the PDA to fly the drone automatically to the pointed destination. The VTOL drone will automate land on the destination L200 and get the package delivered.
Unlike the small drone, this VTOL drone L200 uses can carry up to 5kg packages, and flies 160 mins (150km), much further. These two main factors highly boost its efficiency in logistics application, while the easy operation with the least human cost minimized the operating expense.
About the drone and the station
The VTOL drone that L200 uses is the ARKUAV E35, developed by Fengyi Tech. It can fly for 160 minutes and across about 150 km. The E35 has a 3.5 meters wingspan, 1.8 meters in length, and possessed the RTK function, it can carry a package up to 5kg weight. Fengyi has been working on the E35 for several years and tested it with thousands of flights to assure its performance on communication stability and flight safety.
The docking station of L200 is designed and retrofitted by the HEISHA Tech with automatic landing and takeoff, recharging, and parking functions. Besides the drone charging pad, a working table, an air conditioner, and furniture are placed to offer a comfortable environment for the staff to replace the package, monitor the drone, and maintain the station.
Fengyi Tech as the cargo drone-focused subsidiary corporation of SF Express Group will deploy the L200 VTOL cargo drone docks in different sites for logistic applications, such as mountain areas, islands, oases, etc. At the same time, Fengyi Tech and HEISHA Tech will open this VTOL cargo drone solution to the global market.
