Chu Changxing introduced various technical parameters of the "Kunpeng-5C" large UAV in detail. Fang Hong was actually very satisfied, but he did not show it too much.

At this moment, Fang Hong said: "UAVs can break through some road restrictions and terrain restrictions. Although there are some air traffic control needs at the same time, if a complete set of drone freight logistics systems can be established, it will have a profound impact on the logistics and logistics of the entire human race. The economic model will have huge changes and promotion effects."

Fang Hong said unhurriedly: "China now has advantages in the entire industrial chain. The large-scale drone cargo project is about to be launched. It can really pull goods by tonnage. In addition to military purposes, it also has emergency rescue purposes, especially All commercial uses in logistics can be done.”

Chu Changxing nodded and added: "I completely agree with your point of view. The danger of manned drones is relatively high, and the relevant standards will be more stringent. It is not easy to do it, so there is no need to consider it in the short term. After all, what if there is a personal safety issue?"

Fang Hong nodded and said, "Not bad."

Chu Changxing continued: "But the standards for carrying items can obviously be relaxed."

Fang Hong looked at the large drone in front of him: "Being able to transport cargo is very important to changes in logistics. Especially now in the Internet age, information efficiency has improved, but logistics has not fully caught up. Once logistics catches up, it will improve overall It will bring about completely new changes in the functioning of society.”

The development and progress of human society is closely related to logistics methods. Modern big cities emerged because of the birth of cars. Without cars, big cities cannot develop. It would take half a day to walk from the west to the east of the new city. The lack of time means that the scale of the city cannot be reached, and intensive industries cannot be born. Because the cost cannot be reduced, then from a macro perspective, the upper limit of industrial capacity is locked.

The earlier one is the train, the earlier one is the horse-drawn carriage and rickshaw.

There is no doubt that if a city relies on horse-drawn carriages as a means of logistics or transportation, it is definitely not a big deal.

The limit of Chang'an City in the ancient Tang Dynasty was just one million people. This is also true. To put it bluntly, the speed of logistics efficiency determines the shape of a city's economy and life, especially the costs of various production and living.

Fang Hong retracted his gaze and said calmly: "From e-commerce to logistics, and now the production and manufacturing of drones are already very advanced in China. In the future, drones will be the development of the entire industry chain, not just There will be innovations in the production and manufacturing of drones, including their use, commercialization and business models, including changes and opportunities at the military level, as well as in battlefield configurations and civilian integration."

At this time, Chu Changxing said: "But domestic logistics companies may not use it much at the moment."

Fang Hong said calmly: "I'm not afraid that there will be no market. Domestic logistics companies are so busy. I think Shunfeng Logistics may be interested. In 2012, I proposed a similar idea and invested in some drone manufacturers. Send a team to get one Let’s talk to people from Shunfeng about the whole solution. We can also send people from Jingdong to talk about it. If no one is interested, Qunxing will directly support a logistics company.”

After understanding the various parameters of the double-tailed "Kunpeng-5C" large UAV, Fang Hong is very confident in the competitiveness of this large UAV for commercial logistics transportation.

Because it’s really too much of a lead.

The fuselage length is 11 meters, the fuselage height is 3.41 meters, and the wingspan is 22 meters. The maximum flight time is about 40 hours. The speed reaches 350 kilometers per hour. The maximum ceiling is 7,000 meters. It can carry up to 3.5 tons of effective supplies or weapons. The maximum range can reach 5,500 kilometers, and it can cover the inland areas of the country in one takeoff. Such a mileage has already reached the threshold of early long-range bombers.

After Chu Changxing's introduction, Fang Hong learned that the range limit of the "Kunpeng-5C" large UAV can exceed an astonishing 8,000 kilometers, but considering manufacturing costs and practical application requirements, the final range is 5,500 kilometers.

What is the concept of a 5,500-kilometer flight range? If taking off from the westernmost point, it can directly cover Western Europe, taking off from the northeastern corner can cover the old magnesium Arasaga, and taking off from the southernmost territorial sea, it can cover the coastline of eastern Australia, and it is a flight. The kind that goes back and forth and can fly back again.

During the development period, extremely strict standards were adopted for drill testing, and the final result was that the "Kunpeng-5C" large UAV demonstrated extremely high stability and accuracy. It can adapt to various harsh environmental climates and complex terrains. Whether it is complex mountains or rugged jungles, it can carry out precise delivery.

The unloading method of this drone is to carry out precise delivery directly in the air. Its design is a distributed cargo pod, which looks like a cruise missile. However, it is not filled with fuel and warheads, but various components. consumer goods.

The cargo pod is hung directly under the wing, and the cargo is accurately dropped by hanging a parachute.

Therefore, there are extremely high requirements for accurate delivery, and this type of drone performs extremely well in terms of precise delivery technology.

It can accurately airdrop the materials carried at a designated location. If the cargo pod is changed from materials to aerial bombs, it will have precise long-range bombing capabilities. Its 3.5-ton payload means that it can take off with multiple cruise missiles.

After understanding the performance parameters of the Kunpeng 5C large drone, Fang Hong was very sure that it was unlikely that this model would be exported. The country would definitely impose strict export controls on it. This thing could become a hugely lethal drone in one go. of military-grade unmanned bombers.

Even if you are conducting logistics business in the mainland, you must undergo strict air traffic control.

The most powerful and shocking thing about this drone is that its manufacturing cost is so low that Fang Hongdu was surprised. The manufacturing cost of a single drone reached an incredible 3 million yuan.

It can be transformed into an integrated surveillance and combat drone, but the cost is several times lower than that of a military drone. It would be strange if it could be exported without control.

But at this moment, Fang Hong turned around and was about to leave the hall, and said as he walked: "I estimate that the military will be interested in this model. Someone may come over to inspect it, so you have to be aware of it."

Chu Changxing nodded: "Understood."

Fang Hong said with a smile: "It may not be impossible to export, but it will definitely not be exported as a commercial drone, but a military-grade drone. Most of the foreign trade models will have to cut down on their performance. It will be held in November this year. At the Zhuhai Air Show, strive to appear on it, there is no need to hide it."

If this model can be exported as a military-grade drone, the profit will not be comparable to that of commercial drones. The profit can be doubled several times. Even if a single unit is sold for 30 million yuan, it will still be very competitive. It’s less than 5 million U.S. dollars in U.S. dollars.

Regarding the two drone technology companies DJI and Kunpeng, Fang Hong is also quite clear about their market positioning.

If nothing unexpected happens, Kunpeng Technology will probably be included in America's little black book. There is a high probability that it will not be used in the overseas commercial market. Especially after the big guy Kunpeng-5C comes out, America will definitely regard Kunpeng Technology as For military industrial enterprises.

Therefore, the future market positioning of this company is for domestic military and civilian use. The military will most likely be very interested in the Kunpeng-5C. The commercial use will naturally be to build a drone cargo logistics system, and the international market will focus on exporting military-grade products.

As for the international commercial market, DJI will take care of it. In the future, the majority of DJI's revenue will come from the international market. Although it may be included in America's small black book, the competitiveness is there.
