Engineering:YTHS HS
YTHS UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Beijing Asian Pacific Hong-Sheng Aviation Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (YTHS, 北京亚太宏升航空科技有限公司) (APHS), which was originally formed as an importer and Chinese distributor of western commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) airframes, flight control systems such as autopilots. YTHS has since expanded its business by developing its own flight control systems and become a system integrator of COTS systems by integrating flight control systems it developed and markets with COTS airframes.
HS-12D
HS-12D is an unmanned helicopter developed by APHS in conventional helicopter layout, and the landing gear system consists of a pair of skids. Electrical power produces less noise and enables the unmanned helicopter to fly at higher altitude.[1]

HS-32H
HS-32H is the second member of HS-32 series gasoline-powered unmanned helicopter and H stands for Hangpai (航拍) in Chinese, meaning aerial photography. HS-32H is mainly used for aerial survey/photography and cinematography applications. Most of the parameter of HS-32H is similar to that of HS-32J, except:[4]
- Control radius: 50 km
- Ceiling: 2.2 km
- Payload: up to 3 kg
HS-32Z
HS-32Z is another member of HS-32 series gasoline-powered unmanned helicopter and Z stands for Zhencha (侦察) in Chinese, meaning scout or reconnaissance. HS-32Z is designed for military applications, and has entered service with Chinese law enforcement for forestry/game warden/fire patrols, and disaster relief missions.[5]
HS-300
HS-300 UAV is an unmanned helicopter developed by APHS, which is essentially the Mosquito Aviation XE homebuilt helicopter equipped with AX-100 flight control system indigenously developed by APHS. Specification:[6]
