御风未来获首张混动+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-powered UAV to meet airworthiness requirements globally and the first to receive a TC under the new Civil Aviation Law in China [1][8]. Technical Specifications - The E40H has a total 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 [1][3]. 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 [3]. Industry Impact - The E40H is the first of its kind in the industry to achieve airworthiness certification for hybrid and composite wing UAVs, with expectations for a series of similar eVTOLs to follow [3]. - The primary application scenarios for the E40H include emergency cargo transport and surveillance operations, with operational restrictions such as not flying over densely populated areas and prohibiting manned flights [3]. Operational Achievements - The E40H participated in various real-world rescue operations, including flood relief and typhoon rescue missions, and successfully completed logistics flights over a distance of 150 kilometers [5][8]. Future Plans - Yufeng Future is advancing its large eVTOL model M1B, which has already submitted its TC application and is expected to complete certification within the year, focusing on emergency firefighting and logistics [5][8]. - The company plans to submit a TC application for a manned version of the M1 at an appropriate time, gradually moving towards commercial operations [7]. Financing and Commercial 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 [8]. - The company follows a development path outlined by the National Development and Reform Commission, focusing on cargo transport before moving to manned operations, with a target for commercial deployment of large eVTOLs by the second half of 2026 [8]. 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 [8][9].
