Yet another unmanned transport took to the skies for the first time. The SA750U is being developed by Shanhe Huayu Aviation Technology (山河华宇航空科技) and is powered by a single AEP100A turboprop.

Specs:
– Max takeoff weight: 7500kg
– Max payload: 3200kg
– Max range: 2200km
– Cruising speed: 308km/h
– Ceiling: 7300m
– Cargo hold volume: 25.8 cubic meters

The SA750U has become the first Chinese UAV to successfully perform multiple cargo airdrops in a single flight.

The SA750U is currently powered by an AEP100A turboprop. Intensive integration tests are underway to pair the drone with a megawatt-class hydrogen fuel engine, probably this previously seen hydrogen turboshaft.

The first Lanying (镧影) R6000 has just rolled off the assembly line. R6000 is a 6-ton tilt-rotor, specs are found in the second image below.

A very rare video that shows R6000's wings rotated 90° to align with the fuselage for easy transport.

That's like a mini UMPK kit on an artillery shell.
