ZIYAN Technology’s Grey Whale G1 Transport Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Helicopter is a heavy lift rotary-wing unmanned aircraft system designed for cargo transport in environments where conventional multirotor drones are limited.
The Grey Whale G1 is intended for use in offshore operations, mountainous terrain, and high-altitude areas, providing consistent flight performance under demanding environmental conditions.
Operation in Harsh Conditions
The Grey Whale G1 is engineered for stability in adverse weather. It maintains control in Level 8 wind conditions, enabling operation in strong coastal or offshore winds.
Its robust airframe supports a payload capacity of 15 kg, suitable for transporting materials such as medical supplies, tools, or emergency equipment. With a communication range of 30 km and maximum flight endurance of 65 minutes, the aircraft is configured for medium- to long-range logistics tasks that require sustained reliability.
Platform-to-Platform Transport
Testing conducted by ZIYAN Technology confirms that the Grey Whale G1 can perform platform-to-platform delivery over distances of up to 20 km. During evaluations, the UAV maintained stable flight and accurate control in varying wind conditions while transporting cargo between offshore installations.
The results indicate its suitability for logistics in maritime and remote environments. The design incorporates simplified maintenance features that support lower operational overheads and faster deployment.
Certification and Compliancemaritime
The Grey Whale G1 has obtained a Special Airworthiness Certification issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). The certification verifies compliance with aviation safety and reliability standards and confirms the system’s airworthiness for unmanned cargo transport applications.
Applications in Remote and Industrial Logistics
The Grey Whale G1 is designed for cargo transport in remote and inaccessible areas, providing an autonomous and efficient alternative to manned aircraft. It supports operations such as the delivery of materials to islands, mountain settlements, and high-altitude sites where conventional logistics are limited.
Key Applications
Island and Mountain Transport – Movement of cargo between islands or through mountainous terrain.- Emergency Response – Delivery of medical and essential materials in isolated or disaster-affected zones.
- Industrial Logistics – Transport of supplies between offshore facilities, energy infrastructure, and construction sites.
ZIYAN Technology’s Grey Whale G1 Transport UAV Helicopter provides a structured solution for aerial cargo delivery in challenging environments. With verified performance, regulatory certification, and defined payload capability, the platform supports logistics operations across maritime, industrial, and remote locations.
