混动+复合翼，御风未来E40H获首张中型复合翼无人机型号合格证

Core Viewpoint - The E40H unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by Yufeng Future has successfully obtained the Type Certificate (TC) from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, marking it as the first hybrid and composite wing UAV to meet airworthiness requirements globally, and the first to receive a TC under the new Civil Aviation Law in China [1][4]. Technical Specifications - The E40H has a fuselage length of 3.78 meters, a height of 0.99 meters, a maximum flight speed of 115 km/h, a maximum altitude of 1000 meters, a maximum takeoff weight of 150 kilograms, an empty weight of 100 kilograms, a maximum payload of 50 kilograms, a maximum flight time of 10 hours, and a maximum range of 800 kilometers [2][4]. Development Timeline - The application for the TC was submitted on July 29, 2024, and the approval was granted on December 30, 2025, taking a total of 1 year and 5 months [4]. Industry Impact - The E40H's TC acquisition is seen as a significant milestone in the industry, with expectations for a series of similar eVTOLs to follow in obtaining airworthiness certification [4]. The primary application scenarios for such products are currently focused on emergency cargo transport [4]. Operational Limitations - The operational scenarios for the E40H are limited to cargo transport and surveillance tasks, with restrictions on flying over densely populated areas and in mixed airspace, and it is prohibited from carrying passengers [4]. Practical Applications - The E40H has participated in various real-world rescue operations, including flood relief and typhoon rescue missions, and has successfully completed logistics flights over a distance of 150 kilometers [6]. Future Developments - Yufeng Future is advancing its large eVTOL model M1B, which has already submitted its TC application and is expected to complete certification and commercial launch within the year, focusing on emergency firefighting and logistics [6][9]. The company plans to submit a TC application for a manned version of the M1 at an appropriate time [8]. Financing and Growth Strategy - Yufeng Future has completed nine rounds of financing and is currently in the B round, with a recent funding round aimed at accelerating the testing and certification of the M1 model [9]. The company follows a development path outlined by the National Development and Reform Commission, prioritizing cargo operations before moving to passenger services [9]. Certification Landscape - As of December 30, 2025, a total of 12 aircraft have received TC certificates this year, with Yufeng Future's E40H being the first UAV certified under the revised Civil Aviation Law [10][11].
