The world's first 6-ton tiltrotor aircraft, the Lanthanide R6000, has been assembled and rolled off the assembly line!
On October 11th, the world's first 6-ton tiltrotor aircraft was assembled and rolled off the assembly line at the Wuhu United Aircraft Production Workshop in the Wuhu Aviation Industry Park located in Wanluo District. This tiltrotor aircraft, codenamed "Lanthanide R6000", has the ability to vertically take off and hover in the air as a regular helicopter, as well as the advantage of high-speed cruising as a fixed wing aircraft, due to its complex and innovative tiltrotor configuration. Supporting both unmanned and manned flights, it has the ability for ordinary helicopters to take off and land vertically and hover in the air, as well as the advantage of fixed wing aircraft for high-speed cruising, due to its complex and innovative tilt rotor configuration. The maximum takeoff weight of the aircraft is 6 tons, the maximum commercial payload is 2 tons, the maximum range is 4000 kilometers, the fastest cruising speed is 550 kilometers per hour, and the highest cruising altitude is 7620 meters. If it were bigger, it would be more like the V-22 Osprey transport plane or the Bell V-280 transport plane.
Industry insiders say that after being put into practical application in the future, the LaYing R6000 will profoundly change the mode of human transportation and the logistics transportation industry pattern, strongly empowering multiple fields such as transportation, logistics, emergency response, and national defense.
