High-Speed Platforms Built for the Clouds
The YH series — a weather-modification UAV line built to aviation-industry standards, covering high-speed cloud penetration, long-endurance seeding and swarm operations.
High-Speed Weather Modification UAV
A high-speed platform driven by a 100 kg-thrust turbojet, purpose-built for high-altitude cloud-penetrating seeding. The modular belly bay enables quick payload swaps, and the vehicle-mounted ground station delivers one-touch, fully automated missions.
- 100 kg-thrust turbojet
- Modular belly payload bay
- Rocket-assisted launch · parachute recovery
- Wind resistance ≥ 12 m/s

Modular Payload System
One standard interface — three mission payloads swap in minutes to match the objective.
Seeding Flare Dispenser
Belly-mounted flare dispenser ignited by the onboard engine, with burn timing controlled along the flight line for precise in-cloud dosing.
Cloud Droplet Spectrometer & LWC Probe
The ICPII cloud droplet spectrometer and liquid-water-content probe continuously sense in-cloud microphysics and downlink cloud-structure data — the quantitative basis for seeding decisions.
- Continuous droplet sampling
- Liquid-water-content sensing
- Real-time data downlink
Electro-Optical Pod
A dual visible/IR observation pod records every mission, supporting effect evaluation and disaster reconnaissance.
- Visible & IR dual channel
- Simultaneous cloud-top & ground imaging
- Mission video archiving & playback
Long-Endurance Platforms for Field Deployment
20 kg-class turbojet and piston delta-wing platforms: rocket-assisted launch and parachute recovery open a forward operating point anywhere — no runway required.
Rocket-assisted launch · parachute recovery
Vehicle-mounted deployment with seconds-to-launch rocket boost and precision parachute recovery. The full cycle needs no runway or ground-station infrastructure and adapts to gobi, grassland and mountain terrain.
- Runway-less field operations
- High-capacity flare seeding
- Vehicle-mounted mobility
- Controlled lifecycle cost
China’s First Multi-UAV Swarm Seeding Operation
Proprietary swarm-control technology flies multiple UAVs in coordinated formation, multiplying single-sortie coverage. Twelve large UAVs are in service, with series production at the Hefei Aerospace Industrial Park facility.
- In-house swarm control
- Automated droneports
- Fleet of 12 in service
