TZ series UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Chengdu Jing-Shi Model Co., Ltd. (JS Model, 成都精石模型开发有限公司), and of the two versions developed, both have entered service for agricultural applications such as crop dusting. JS Model has traditionally being a manufacturer of remotely piloted toy aircraft, and in recent years, it has attempted to expand its business to the UAV arena, and TZ-300 series is the result of such attempt, targeting agricultural applications.

TZ-300NY

TZ-300NY is the first UAV developed by JS Model, and it is an unmanned helicopter. The 2-meter long unmanned helicopter is capable of carrying 12 kg payload and has been successfully deployed in crop dusting operation in farms in Chengdu.

TZ-300 NY NOTAR

TZ-300NY NOTAR is another UAV developed JS Model in its attempt to expand its business into the UAV arena from its traditional remote piloted toy airplanes business. As with TZ-300NY, TZ-300NY NOTAR is also an unmanned helicopter intended for agricultural applications. The tail boom of the TZ-300NY NOTAR has much greater diameter than that of TZ-300NY, because TZ-300NY NOTAR adopts a radical design that was not adopted by other Chinese unmanned helicopter, namely, NOTAR, one of the extremely few unmanned helicopters in the world to incorporate such design.
