How fierce is the Raptor UAV?

"The endurance can reach more than 500 kilometers" "Patrol inspection can be carried out at minus 30 degrees Celsius" - this is the answer from the research center.

Out of the "Raptor" laboratory, into the Qinba mountains 160 kilometers away, the water conservancy project from Han to Wei Sanhekou is like a pearl shining green. A drone "whooshed" and "plucked onions in the dry land" flew toward the river mouth, and "Raptor" began the environmental and water conservation patrol on the day. "Boy, we can patrol along the river twice a day as soon as possible! Previously, four of us had a car, and we could only patrol once a month." Wang Guangjun, who has been a "water watcher" all his life, "bragged.".

160 km! At one end is the actual operation area of "Raptor" in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains. It is moving its body from high to low, accurately measuring the relevant data of the dam, the mountain and the river channel as a whole. At the other end, it is located in the western cloud valley of Fengxi New Town, Xixian New Area, connecting the 1:1 digital twin system of the Han Wei River Diversion Project. This "invisible" line accurately connects the virtual and real scenes. "Everything we control in the picture of this virtual system at the moment is reflected in the physical scene at the other end. Conversely, if something changes in the physical scene, it must be presented in the virtual scene accordingly." The staff introduced to the Shaanxi Research and Interview Group of People's Daily Online "Marching China". He clicked different positions in the virtual scene with the mouse, and "Raptor" also photographed the corresponding river and mountain positions in the real scene.

In the demonstration of virtual reality interaction, through the lens of the "Raptor", we can see the winding folds of the Qinling Mountains. The reporter could not help sighing: With such complex terrain, ordinary UAVs simply cannot meet the requirements of ultra long distance flight operations. How can we ensure project construction and subsequent safe operation management?

The Raptor gives the answer.

With the help of Qin Chuang's original new drive platform, Shaanxi Yinhanjiwei Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Professor Zhang Jinying of Xi'an Jiaotong University teamed up to use graphene stabilized coating solid hydrogen storage technology to greatly improve the flight time of UAVs. "In the future, 'Raptor' can also operate without endurance attenuation at minus 30 degrees Celsius, which can be applicable to plateau low temperature and complex terrain. It can complete patrol inspection and emergency release in specific environments, to a certain extent, make up for the shortcomings of existing domestic UAVs in the application of alpine regions." Li Xuyang, project technical director of Shaanxi Han Ji Wei Technology Development Co., Ltd., said. Today, the hydrogen powered unmanned helicopter has become an important equipment of the "hydrogen energy water land air integrated unmanned intelligent monitoring and detection system" of the Han Wei River Diversion Project. The Raptor series UAVs have been applied in the field of water conservancy project construction and water conservancy facility management in Xi'an, Hanzhong, Ankang, Jilin Changchun, Hunchun and other places in Shaanxi Province.
