Engineering:AVIC FK
FK UAVs are Chinese remotely piloted blimps developed by (China) Special (Aerial) Vehicle Research Institute (SVRI, 中国特种飞行器研究所), also known as the 605th Institute, a research establishment of AVIC. Production of FK series unmanned blimps are currently handled by Jingmen Aviation Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (荆门航空科技有限公司), a wholly owned subsidiary of SVRI. FK unmanned blimps are intended for various civilian and military applications and are sometimes classified by their approximate length.[1][2] Typical unmanned blimps (most widely used) has the following characteristics and most models are derivatives of this model.[3]
- Length: around 10 m
- Width: 3.34 m
- Volume: 35 m3
- Speed: 35 km/h
- Normal operating altitude: 200 m
- Endurance: 30 min
- Remote control radius: 1 km
- Available advertise area: 2 × 5 m2
