THX TXD UAVs is a series of Chinese UAVs developed by Guangzhou Tian-Hai-Xiang (meaning Soaring over sky and sea) Aviation Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (THX, 广州天海翔航空科技有限公司), some of which have already entered service with Chinese law enforcement and Chinese military.[1] In addition, some of its design also won several national awards in China.[2] THX TXD series UAV is designed to be micro air vehicles (MAVs) operated by a single person, with typeical range around 30 km and take-off weight around 5.5 kg.[3]
TXD-05
TXD-05 is an electrically powered fixed wing UAV in flying wing layout with winglets, and propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven tractor engine mounted in the nose. TXD-05 can be deployed at high altitude locations up to 4300 meters. Specification:[4]
- Max take-off altitude (km): 4.3
- Relative operating altitude (km): 1
- Endurance (min): 50
- Cruise speed (km/hr): 50
- Power plant: battery powered electric motor
TXD-05B
TXD-05B is an electrically powered fixed wing UAV. Although sharing the same TXD-5 designation, TXD-05B has a completely different look than TXD-05. Instead of the flying wing layout of TXD-05, TXD-05B is in conventional layout instead. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven tractor engine mounted in the nose. Like TXD-05, TXD-05B also can be deployed at high altitude locations up to 4300 meters. Specification:[5]
- Max take-off altitude (km): 4.3
- Relative operating altitude (km): 1.5
- Endurance (min): 70
- Cruise speed (km/hr): 60
- Power plant: battery powered electric motor
TXD-07
TXD-07 is an electrically powered fixed wing UAV in twin boom configuration with tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a pair of two-blade propeller driven tractor engines respectively mounted at the tip of each boom.[6]
