650kg class large application UAV
400kg load capacity
Self-driving manned eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle)
Independent research and development, design, production
……
On November 8, the 14th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exposition - referred to as "Zhuhai Air Show" opened in Zhuhai. A Shandong Somfly Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. from Jinan, a spring city, made its debut with a variety of products.
This aircraft research and development company, which was only founded in 2021, is really a "newcomer" in the aviation industry. This newcomer is not simple, time does not wait for others, and he seizes the day and night. Based on a large amount of design and technology accumulation in the early stage, the company completed the prototype verification machine of the first aircraft product within 9 months of its establishment, and then derived two application design versions . In just one year, it brought a variety of products of its own to the global event in the aerospace field, exhibited at the H9A3 booth in Hall 9 of Zhuhai Air Show, and became one of the most eye-catching "stars" of the air show.
About Somfy
Shandong Shangfei Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2021. The founding team adheres to the creed of being an aviation power in the new era, and actively participates in the emerging industry of manned aircraft and application of drones. The company's core R&D team comes from Moscow Aerospace University, united business executives with the founder structure of sales boss and product partner, and with the support of the external brain of academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences, is committed to eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft) and large-scale application without The research and development and production of man-machines will build the application and service system of UAVs in emergency rescue, firefighting, logistics, manned transportation and other industries. It is the only academician workstation founding unit in Shandong Province.
Somfy made its debut on the air show stage, and its main purpose was to exchange and learn from peers in the aviation industry as a "newcomer", chat with future customers about application scenarios, and discuss cooperation with potential partners.
Star products attract much attention
This time, Somfy brought two star products: JX1022F (firefighting version) and JX1022L (logistics version) to the air show for the first time, which attracted wide attention from the media, guests and industry peers.
(JX1022F)
JX1022F (firefighting version): It is an industrial type derived from JX1022, and it is a special application UAV focusing on the field of firefighting and rescue. The fuselage is 2.6 meters high, with a wingspan of 4.4 meters, a self-weight of 650kg, and a payload of 400kg. It can achieve a maximum cruising speed of 140km/h.
Advantage:
①Quick response, portable and flexible:
Low requirements for take-off conditions, easy access to the disaster rescue site, quick control of the fire, and rescue of trapped people
Rely on the large load capacity to connect the fire hose to extinguish the fire at an altitude of 80 meters or more
②Large load, multiple application scenarios:
Can mount 6 pieces of 25KG throwing fire extinguishing bombs, mainly for fire scenes with open terrain
Can mount 12 broken window fire extinguishing bombs, mainly for high-rise building fires
A 200-liter fire extinguishing solvent tank can be installed, and the fire extinguishing solvent can be used for fire extinguishing
Relying on large load capacity to deliver fire rescue supplies
③Cluster operation, remote control:
Multiple fire-fighting drones are under unified command and linked operations. Through the command and dispatch system quickly deployed by the "UAV ground command vehicle", one vehicle can command two units at the same time. It is hoped that firefighters can remotely formulate targets without going deep into risky places. Sex Rescue Program.
(JX1022L)
JX1022L (logistics version): It is also a large logistics drone derived from JX1022. Positioning small trucks in the air, modular design, can carry 400kg ~ 500kg modular containers, and can be directly mounted to drones by AGV unmanned logistics vehicles. The product features in line with Aeroflot, the leather is durable, and it can also be used for flights under complex conditions such as plateaus and cross-seas.
From test flight to mass production
From unmanned to manned
Since its establishment, Somfy has always adhered to the route of independent research and development, production and independent intellectual property rights. Four types of aircraft have been developed, and the main product JX1022 series of large-scale application drones and manned eVTOL are all independently developed and produced.
From unmanned to manned, use the flight time of the unmanned version to accumulate safe flight time for the manned version.
JX1022 has now produced the original size verification machine, and it is expected to conduct a test flight in January 2023. It is planned to complete the finalization and production of the product machine in the first half of 2023, and reach small batch production in the second half of 2023.
flying car
Aviation era of new energy and autonomous driving
The person in charge of Somfy Aviation said: "Our company also has a plan for flying cars. Unlike other predecessors in the industry, our logic for flying cars is that after our own logistics version is more mature, we will seek cooperation with car companies to complete our The company's flying trucks are also based on the logic of first goods before others, and with a sufficient technical foundation, of course, it depends on the degree of liberalization of the country's airspace, and we will consider making non-cargo flying cars."
