The series of large UAVs developed by Kunpeng Technology not only has the representative work of "Kunpeng-5C", but also the model of "Kunpeng-5B", which belongs to the same series of products, but the specifications are slightly weaker.

Its maximum load is 1.8 tons, the maximum ceiling is 6,000 meters, the maximum range is 3,500 kilometers, and it only takes two takeoffs to cover the whole country, and the cost is only 2 million yuan.

In fact, there is also a "Kunpeng-5A" model, which was designed to have a maximum load of 1.2 tons at the beginning of its development, which is just enough to hang a Tomahawk missile, and its maximum range is about 3,000 kilometers.

However, the model scheme was finally cut, because the cost is not cheaper than the "Kunpeng-5B", the unit price manufacturing cost of 2 million yuan is already the limit of the current technical level, and the other aspects of the parameter performance are roughly the same, the cost performance is not as good as the "Kunpeng-5B", so it was cut.

Fang Hong stayed at the Kunpeng Technology headquarters for about half an hour before leaving.

On the second day, Chu Changxing sent someone to fly directly to Pengcheng to promote his own large-scale UAV logistics and transportation solution to Shunfeng headquarters, which was not so fast, because the procedures such as filing and air traffic control permits had not yet been done, but the big boss said that he would help promote these things.

Let's go to the business first, even if it can be negotiated at most, the contract is initialed, and the formal contract will not be so fast.

On Friday, July 8, Shunfeng people directly sent a team to Xincheng to visit the headquarters of Kunpeng Technology.

……

"Mr. Zhou, are you sure this model can be commercialized?" At this moment, in the internal R&D base of Kunpeng Technology Headquarters, a middle-aged man looked at the big guy in front of him with a shocked expression, and it was the Kunpeng-5C drone, and this man was the head of the SF delegation.

Zhou Yang, co-founder of Kunpeng Technology, was receiving the visiting team of Shunfeng, and he said with a smile: "This large drone is designed and positioned as a dual-use product, and it is of course commercial to sell it to you." ”

The team of SF Express was shocked by the big guy in front of them, and they were all looking around.

Two days ago, Kunpeng Technology sent someone to promote the business, and after recommending this drone to Shunfeng, he learned the parameters of this model, and Shunfeng fell in love with it at a glance, and even took a fancy to the complete set of UAV logistics and transportation solutions promoted by Kunpeng Technology.

Shunfeng realized a few years ago that logistics drones can bring revolutionary impact on the logistics industry, the key is to have feasibility, drones may be difficult to carry people, people may not dare to sit, this is difficult.

However, the load is much looser, and even if an accident occurs, at most the goods are destroyed, which is an economic loss, and will not pose a threat to the safety of human life.

As long as the logistics drone solves the huge load capacity and long-distance flight capacity, it will definitely bring unprecedented changes to the entire logistics industry, with large load capacity and long-distance navigation ability to enable it to meet large-scale logistics needs.

Especially in rural areas, mountainous areas, or areas with inconvenient transportation, such as the Great Northwest. Traditional transportation methods are often limited by geographical conditions, and drones can not only quickly reach the destination, but also can shuttle freely in complex terrain, which is of great significance for improving logistics efficiency and shortening the transportation time of goods.

Shunfeng also has its own air logistics and has bought ordinary planes, but traditional cargo planes do not have airdrop capabilities and must have runways, which means that they can only travel back and forth between big cities.

Some remote areas are not only impossible to transport by air, but the demand is not so large, but if you change to "Kunpeng-5C" or "Kunpeng-5B" UAV for logistics and transportation, the situation is different.

The load capacity of 1.8 tons to 3.5 tons is just right, for example, the products purchased online in a small town in the northwest add up to about 1.5 tons, and the load of dozens of tons of traditional aircraft is obviously impossible to fly over with 1.5 tons of goods even if the destination can land.

But if you change to a "Kunpeng-5B" UAV for the transportation task, you can fly directly with the 1.5 tons of cargo, and you don't need to have a runway at the destination, because you don't need to land, you can put the cargo pod when you arrive, and drop it directly and accurately.

When it's over, the drone turns around and returns directly, and there is no need to land at all.

On the ground, there will be a staff member at the business office in the town to collect the goods, and after taking out the goods, the cargo pod will be temporarily placed at the business location.

In fact, the cost of the cargo pod is very low, but there is still a recycling value, for remote areas, of course, there will be no airdrop on the recycling of one, so there is no recycling value, the freight and labor costs generated during the period are much higher than the rebuilding of a new one.

Therefore, the airdropped cargo pods will generally be placed in a warehouse at the local business point or post station first, and only after a lot of accumulation will there be a recycling personnel to come to recycle and transport it away, so that it has recycling value.

At this moment, the people who are tailwind are watching around the two cargo pods, which are the cargo pods of the "Kunpeng-5C" UAV.

Zhou Yang is also introducing to them that the cargo pods of the "Kunpeng-5C" UAV are divided into three types: large, medium and small, and can be hung with three cargo pods when fully loaded, one on each side of the wing, all of which are small cargo pods with a maximum payload of one ton, and a medium-sized cargo pod with a maximum payload of 1.5 tons under the belly, or directly hung with a large cargo pod with a single load of 3.5 tons.

The front of the cargo pod is a streamlined quadrangular quasi-style, and then there is the cargo space, showing a rectangular shape with four edges and corners smoothed and smoothed, and the tail is equipped with a tail fin, which looks like a cruise missile at a glance.

At this time, a staff member directly opened the cargo pod for potential customers to visit, and the way to open it was to directly take a push and pull method on the side.

After opening, the inside is empty, and its space utilization rate has reached more than 85%, except for the front warhead-shaped for landing buffer shock absorption and the tail parachute to occupy a certain space, the rest of the space is used to load cargo.

The weight of a Tomahawk cruise missile is about 1.2 tons, and the "Kunpeng-5C" UAV is more than enough to carry three.

After the visit, the people of Shunfeng left, and at the same time left an order of 1.7 billion to initially sign the contract, and the two sides signed a memorandum of understanding and reached a preliminary intention.

This drone is simply a dream machine in the eyes of the tailwind.

As early as 2012, Shunfeng put forward a grand business plan, which was to use drones to automatically deliver its own express delivery across the country, when the commercial drone market was still in its infancy.

Their plan is to develop two kinds of UAVs, the first is a tonnage large UAV, focusing on batch distribution, which can be transported remotely in tons, with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers, so that one take-off can cover most of the country's territory, and two take-offs can cover the whole country.

The second is a small drone, focusing on terminal distribution, which can transport 5 to 10 kg of goods at a time, with a range of 3 to 5 kilometers, and uses drones to directly deliver to the door in the city.

The two UAVs can achieve a combination of long and short distances, a network across the country, point-to-point short, and can also realize fully automated logistics and transportation, becoming the fastest express delivery in China.

For this plan, after Shunfeng proposed it at that time, it was questioned by the whole network, which was a gimmick.

But in order to realize this business plan, Shunfeng still invested in several drone companies, recruited some technicians, and developed drones that specialize in delivering express delivery.

Shunfeng fell in love at a glance, and called this the dream love machine they wanted, and placed an order directly and decisively.
