RHKJ UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Xiamen Ruihang Precision Technology Co., Ltd. (RHKJ, 厦门睿航精密科技有限公司), most of which are unmanned helicopters, but there is also a fixed-wing UAV.

  • Height: 0.7 m
  • Operating temperature: -20 to 60 °C
  • Max wind scale allowed for operation: 4
  • Normal radius: 1 km
  • RHH 1312

    RHH 1312 UAV is an unmanned helicopter based on COTS airframe, which is integrated with flight control system indigenously developed by RHKJ. RHH 1312 is the larger cousin of the smaller RHH 1156 with the identical conventional helicopter layout. RHH 1312 has conventional helicopter layout and a pair of skids as land gear. Specification:

  • Max speed: 90 km/h
  • Cruise speed: 65 km/h
  • Ceiling: 2.5 km
  • Rate of climb: 4 m/s
  • Empty weight: 9 kg
  • Max payload: 1 kg
  • Max take-off weight: 11.5 kg
  • Fuel: 1 l
  • Main rotor diameter: 2.1 m
  • Tail rotor diameter: 0.3 m
  • Length: 2.1 m
  • Height: 0.7 m
  • Operating temperature: -20 to 60 °C
  • Max wind scale allowed for operation: 5
  • Normal radius: 7 km
  • RHH 1480

    RHH 1480 UAV is an unmanned helicopter based on COTS airframe, which is integrated with flight control system indigenously developed by RHKJ. RHH 1480 is the largest unmanned helicopter developed by RHKJ as of 2013. RHH 1480 has conventional helicopter layout and a pair of skids as land gear.

  • Max speed: 90 km/h
  • Cruise speed: 65 km/h
  • Ceiling: 2.5 km
  • Rate of climb: 4 m/s
  • Empty weight: 16.35 kg

  • RLX-1

    RLX-1 MAV is a multirotor developed by RHKJ and it is a hexacopter. RLX-1 is different than most other multirotors currently in service in that instead of the common layout of six armed extended from the center, RLX-1 adopts a linear layout where three pairs of arms extended from the main beam. Payload is attached in tip of the beam. Specification:

  • Cruise speed: 50 km/h
  • Max speed: 80 km/h
