Test data indicate that, at the current stage, the ducted-fan high-altitude tethered (power and fluid supply) firefighting drone system is… Water spray flow rate, spray range, wind resistance, and landing accuracy It demonstrates outstanding performance advantages in various aspects. In Gusts of 3–5 m/s Under these conditions, the unmanned aerial vehicle system successfully achieved 20L/s the jet liquid flow rate, Has reached the main firefighting standard. ， Compared with existing rotor‑type firefighting drones, this aircraft achieves a sixfold increase in sustained liquid‑firefighting flow rate without any increase in overall size. The effective spray distance reaches 30–40 meters ， It is three times that of existing rotor-type firefighting drones. This enables the drone system to deliver effective firefighting performance at extended ranges, significantly expanding the scope of firefighting operations.
As a world‑first innovative firefighting device, Weihang Technology’s ducted‑fan high‑altitude tethered (power and fluid supply) firefighting drone system boasts numerous groundbreaking advancements. The first‑generation model can keep the overall dimensions of the fire truck within… 10*2.55*4 meters within, ensuring rapid arrival at the fire scene at the earliest possible moment, thereby significantly enhancing firefighting and rescue efficiency. Meanwhile, this product can… Within 1 minute Fly quickly to 100 meters Height , in order to 30L/s Continuous liquid flow for long-duration, high-efficiency fire suppression, while also meeting High fire rescue efficiency and Main battle fire-fighting capability The two core operational requirements can thoroughly address the challenges posed by fires in urban high-rise buildings. New-generation, high-efficiency main battle fire-fighting equipment.
Based on the excellent results of this test, Weihang Technology is set to conduct a water‑spraying test at a height of around 100 meters in March. This test will comprehensively evaluate the drone’s water‑dropping performance and key critical parameters at operational altitudes, further validating the product’s reliability and effectiveness in real‑world combat scenarios and providing a more robust data foundation for its wider deployment. Stay tuned!
