FYAT UAV

FYAT UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Linyi Feng-Yun (meaning Wind Cloud) Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. (FYAT, 临沂风云航空科技有限公司), some of which have entered service with Chinese law enforcement and other governmental establishments.

260 unmanned helicopter

260 unmanned helicopter is the first unmanned helicopter developed by FYAT. 260 unmanned helicopter is built from commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) airframe, integrated with domestic Chinese flight control system (FCS) indigenously developed by FYAT. The COT airframe is Kyosho 260 remotely piloted helicopter, with FYAT developed autonomous FCS incorporated, so instead of requiring a ground control crew constantly at the control station, the UAV can also fly without ground control operator when desired, thus taking people out of the loop completely.[1]

35 kg class unmanned helicopter

FYAT 35 kg class unmanned helicopter (35 kg Ji Zhi-Sheng-JI, 35KG级直升机) is an unmanned helicopter is traditional helicopter layout with a pair of skids as landing gear. This UAV utilizes commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) airframe and integrates it with domestic Chinese flight control system (FCS) indigenously developed by FYAT. The payload is installed under the chin of the fuselage.[2]

Cessna Simulator

Cessna is one of the most proliferate series of general aviation aircraft, and FYAT Cessna Simulator is an UAV a fixed wing UAV mainly intended to train Chinese air and airport crew on positive visual ID of general aviation aircraft. Cessna Simulator is modeled after Cessna 172. Specification:[3]

  • Wingspan (m): 3.3

Ducted Fan UAV

Ducted Fan UAV (Dan-Han-Dao Fei-Xing-Qi, 单函道飞行器) developed by FYAT is a VTOL UAV that is very similar to another Chinese UAV, the AVIC Whirlwind Scout, and both Chinese UAVs are the Chinese counterparts of Honeywell RQ-16 T-Hawk. The most obvious external difference between the two Chinese UAVs is in the arrangement of their respective toggle switches. For AVIC Whirlwind Scout, there are only two toggle switches, both of which are installed on a cylinder along the vertical axis. For FYAT Ducted Fan UAV, there are a total of four toggle switches, and they are installed separately on different cylinders: one on a cylinder by itself, the other three on the other cylinder along the horizontal axis.[4]

Survey UAV

Survey UAV (Hang-Ze Wu-Ren-Ji, 航测无人机) is a fixed wing UAV developed by FYAT in twin boom layout with inverted v-tail and tricycle landing gear. As implied by its name, this UAV is mainly intended for aerial survey / photography missions.[5]

ScanEagle Simulator

ScanEagle Simulator (Fang Sao-Miao Ying Wu-Ren-Ji, 仿扫描鹰无人机) is a fixed wing UAV developed by FYAT. Externally, San Eagle Simulator looks almost exactly like Boeing Insitu ScanEagle, and just like its name implies, Scan Eagle Simulator perform similar missions the US UAV does. The only significant difference between Scan Eagle Simulator and its US counterpart is that Scan Eagle Simulator has tricycle landing gear so that it can be launched via taxiing in addition to catapult, and recovered via taxiing also, in addition to arrest net or parachute.[6]

Unmanned blimp

FYAT has developed a family of unmanned airship as alternatives to unmanned helicopters and multirotors. The main advantage of unmanned blimp over unmanned helicopters and multirotors is that while it can perform the hovering functions, unmanned blimp has much lower operating cost than unmanned helicopters and multirotors. Other advantages included longer endurance and lower maintenance cost. However, it is not clear if any FYAT unmanned blimp has entered service with Chinese law enforcement or military, because FYAT has not released any information in its marketing effort of unmanned blimps. One of the features of unmanned blimps developed by FYAT is that the landing gear consists of a pair of skids, a rather unusual design among Chinese unmanned blimps.[7]

gollark: Not the other way round.
gollark: You'd expect `x.after(y)` to do y then x.
gollark: No, that makes no sense.
