He1iBMaPPing

The origin of HeliBMaPPing roots in the need to have an UAV with large payload to carry the necessary equipment needed for aerial mapping and survey. Most UAVs currently available in Chinese markets with normal operating altitude less a thousand meters are only capable of carrying a payload of ten kilograms, which is not sufficient, so multiple missions are required, with each mission to carry a different type of equipment. He1iBMaPPing is developed specifically to avert this problem by creating an UAV with large payload so that different kinds equipment can be carried together in a single mission. He1iBMaPPing is an unmanned helicopter in conventional layout with a pair of skids as landing gear, and to reduce cost and shorten the development cycle, the general designer Professor Yang Bi-Sheng (杨必胜) decided to incorporate commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) subsystems, and the airframe is Swiss origin. However, the payload and associated software had to be indigenously developed and the total cost of the UAV with equipment is two million ¥. The UAV is equipped with laser scanner, high definition camera and real time data transmission systems, and it is capable of obtaining the exact height of a building with a single pass.[1] Specification:[2]

  • Ceiling (km): 2
  • Payload (kg): 30
  • Unit cost: ¥ 2,000,000
