HW-100 Sparrowhawk

HW-100 Sparrowhawk UAV (Que-Ying or Queying, 雀鹰) is a hand held micro air vehicle (MAV) designed to specifically operate in the region of high elevation. The electrically powered MAV is in conventional layout and propulsion is provided by a propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted behind the wing. Specification:[1]

  • Max take-off weight: 6 kg
  • Payload: 1.5 kg
  • Cruise speed: 50–80 km/h
  • Ceiling: 3 km
  • Remote control radius: 20 km
  • Endurance: 45 min
  • Take-off: hand launched or catapult
  • Landing: parachute or glide
  • Deployment & recovery time: < 10 min
  • Max wind speed allowed for operation: 8 m/s
  • Operating temperature: −20 to 50 °C
  • Storage temperature: −40 to 55 °C

HW-110

HW-110 is an electrically powered micro air vehicle (MAV) in conventional layout with hi wing configuration. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven pusher motor mounted behind the wing. HW-110 can be launched by hand. Specification:[2]

  • Weight (kg): 2.2
  • Length (m): 1.1
  • Endurance (h): 1
  • Speed (km/h): 81

HW-110A

HW-110A is a development of earlier HW-110 and is in the same layout. Constructed with Kevlar, the UAV can be quickly assembled in the field for rapid deployment. HW-110A incorporates modular design concept and two types of payloads are interchangeable. Specification:[3]

  • Weight (kg): 2.2
  • Wingspan (m): 1.3
  • Length (m): 1.1
  • Endurance (h): 1
  • Speed (km/h): 38 – 81
  • Remote control radius (km): 10
  • Max wind scale allowed for operation: 4
  • Payload (g): 230
  • Payload types: visible light or infrared
  • Deployment time (min): 3
  • Operator needed: 1

HW-120

HW-120 is a MAV which is developed from HW-100 Sparrowhawk. HW-120 share the identical layout with its predecessor HW-100 Sparrowhawk, and like its predecessor, HW-120 is also electrically powered. Specification:[4]

  • Wingspan: 2 m
  • Length: 1.6 m
  • Max take-off weight: 5.8 kg
  • Payload: 2 kg
  • Power plant: lithium battery
  • Cruise speed: 60–90 km/h
  • Endurance: 45–60 min
  • Ceiling: 5 km
  • Control radius: 20 km
  • Launch: by hand or catapult
  • Recovery: parachute or glide
  • Max wind scale allowed for operation: 5
gollark: If you want to return something representing nothing, that should be encoded in the type system.
gollark: You shouldn't have to worry that there may be nils anywhere.
gollark: My least favourite aspect about Go is the type system, which ties into the error handling.
gollark: It's like `null` but the same.
gollark: It tries to hide it by calling it `nil` but it's so stupid.
