The HH-100 commercial unmanned transport aircraft, developed by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), successfully completed its maiden flight at Xi'an Lantian General Airport.

The video was filmed in Xi'an City in Shaanxi Province on June 12.

The HH-100 took off promptly at 9:16 a.m., covering a distance of 35 kilometres before making a smooth landing. Throughout the test flight, the aircraft's systems operated normally, maintaining stable flight attitudes and good overall condition, marking the successful transition from ground testing to research and flight testing.

According to the lead technical manager, the HH-100 unmanned transport system comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle platform and a command control system (ground station). It boasts low cost, high payload capacity, full domestic production, and significant payload.

With a maximum takeoff weight of 2000 kilograms, a commercial payload of 700 kilograms, a full load range of 520 kilometres, a maximum cruising speed of 300 km/h, and a maximum operating altitude of 5000 metres, the HH-100 is designed for regional logistics.

It can also be adapted for forest and grassland firefighting, rescue supply delivery, emergency relay communication, and weather modification.

Building on this platform, the future plans include the development of 5-ton, 10-ton, and larger variants to meet customer demands for larger, smarter, cost-effective unmanned transport solutions.

6月12日，由中国航空工业集团自主研制的HH-100航空商用无人运输机在西安蓝田通用机场首飞成功。

上午9时16分，HH-100商用无人运输机准时起飞，在飞行35公里后平稳降落。整个飞行试验过程中，飞机各系统设备工作正常，飞机姿态平稳，状态保持良好，首飞获得圆满成功，这也标志着这型无人机从地面试验阶段转入科研试飞阶段。

据相关技术负责人介绍，HH-100航空商用无人运输系统由无人飞行器平台、指挥控制系统（地面站）组成，兼具成本低、吨位大、商载高、全国产的特点。

飞机最大起飞重量2000千克、商载700千克、满载航程520千米、最大巡航速度300千米/时、最大使用高度5000米。主要应用场景为支线物流，可扩展森林草原灭火、救援物资投送、应急中继通信、人工影响天气等。

依托这型飞机的系统平台，后续还将研制5吨级、10吨级及以上的系列化产品，不断满足客户对无人运输机大型化、智能化、低成本、高可靠等方面的发展需求。
