HW-200 Blast-Off
HW-200 Blast-Off (Teng-Fei or Tengfei, 腾飞) is a miniature UAV designed for long endurance. HW-200 Blast-Off UAV is in twin-boom layout with inverted v-tail. There are two models developed as of 2013, HW-200A, which does not have landing gear and thus is recovered via parachute, and another version with tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. Specification:
HW-200B Blast-Off
Although sharing the same name Blast-off and similar designation, HW-200B is a completely different UAV than HW-200A. Instead of the twin boom layout of HW-200/200A, HW-200B is an UAV in conventional layout with high wing configuration and tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven tractor engine mounted in the nose. W-200B has been deployed during 2013 Lushan earthquake in post disaster geographical analysis.
HW-210
HW-210 is fixed-wing UAV developed by HiWING, and it is in twin-boom layout and high-wing configuration with inverted v-tail. HW-210 has the same layout with HW-200 and it is a development of HW-200. As with HW-200, propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. Specification:
HW-220
HW-230 is fixed-wing UAV developed by HiWING, and it is in twin-boom layout and high-wing configuration with twin tail. HW-230 has the same layout with HW-200/210 and it is tricycle landing gear system. As with HW-200, propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine mounted at the rear end of the fuselage. Specification:
HW-230
