The XCD-160 UAV features a multirotor configuration, with a fuselage constructed from carbon fiber and aluminum alloy, an integrated molded airframe, and foldable arms. It is equipped with a gimbal-mounted camera, a four‑axis, four‑propeller propulsion system, and a battery pack. A standard cargo pod enables drop‑off delivery, while an optional aerial sling system supports a wider range of transport scenarios. Optional obstacle‑avoidance and parachute systems further enhance flight safety. The XCD‑160’s ground control station includes a 7‑inch sunlight‑readable display, a dual‑band 2.4 GHz/5.8 GHz wireless module, a Qualcomm processor, and an Android operating system, delivering up to 6–8 hours of endurance to support extended operations.
The standard payload is 50 kg, with a maximum payload of 70 kg. It can carry electro-optical pods, illumination lights, cargo containers, aerial lifting systems, and other payloads, meeting the transportation needs of multiple scenarios.
The drone offers over 50 minutes of flight time on a full battery, and with a 50 kg payload, it can still fly for up to 30 minutes, meeting the demand for extended endurance.
Equipped with emergency protection measures, it features a forward-facing millimeter-wave radar obstacle‑avoidance system and lighting, enabling day-and-night obstacle avoidance. Paired with a parachute system, it ensures the safety of both the aircraft and its cargo.
The drone can be assembled, disassembled, and stored entirely by hand; the aerial suspension system features a quick-release design, enabling installation in just 3 seconds.
