CTOnews.com, November 14, according to the official news of Northwestern Polytechnic University, the "Swan" eVTOL aircraft developed by the intelligent aircraft integrated design team of the School of Aeronautics of Northwestern Polytechnic University has been successfully tested recently.

▲ "Swan" eVTOL flight test site | Source: northwestern Polytechnic University said that the "Swan" eVTOL is the team's flagship model based on more than a decade of electric aviation technology. The team is committed to the innovative research of the new concept electric aircraft, adopting the collaborative research and development mode of "scientist and engineer", and has successively developed more than ten kinds of electric vertical take-off and landing experimental vehicles, such as lift fan, vector culvert, compound wing, tilting rotor and so on. The team has accumulated a deep research foundation in the fields of aircraft innovative layout technology, aircraft aerodynamics and multidisciplinary design, distributed electric propulsion aircraft and its new energy application technology, flight control system technology, flight testing and flight quality evaluation technology. In the industry leading level.

In January this year, the comprehensive design team of intelligent aircraft of the School of Aeronautics of Northwestern Polytechnic University invested with the relevant achievements of UAV flight control system design and simulation technology, and established Shaanxi Huayu Xianxiang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. According to reports, the company is the first start-up technology company in the northwest to devote itself to the research and development of eVTOL machines, aiming at the future civil unmanned logistics express delivery, emergency rescue and other blue ocean markets, with vertical take-off and landing regional logistics UAV and its system equipment design, service and sales as the main industry, multi-series, high load, long flight hours aircraft as the main product research and development direction.

CTOnews.com learned that after the signing of the intended order, the team will soon develop a full-size prototype of the "Swan" eVTOL, carry out airworthiness verification work at the same time, and accelerate the exploration and development of the application market.
