SH-917 Unmanned Helicopter
Autonomous helicopter UAV platform for civilian & military applications
The SH-917 is a high-performance unmanned helicopter featuring precision autonomy and up to 8 hours of mission endurance. Designed from the outset as a purpose-built unmanned aircraft rather than a converted manned helicopter, the versatile dual-use VTOL platform is highly suited to a wide range of both civilian and defense operations.
The rugged platform’s design is centered around a patented lightweight composite airframe, including a carbon fiber main body and tail boom and a twin-bladed composite main rotor. This structure provides the aircraft with low takeoff weight and excellent fuel efficiency while maintaining strength.
Based around a turbo charged injection gasoline engine, the SH-917’s propulsion system runs on common gasoline fuels such as Avgas 100LL or E10, with a basic capacity of 160 liters, Additional fuel tanks can be added to boost the UAV’s endurance even further.
