The technology of the second generation drone is almost entirely different from that of the TC-100 rotorcraft.
Its propulsion is not provided by rotors, but by a gasoline internal combustion engine, about two and a half meters in length, similar in appearance to an F-22 model fighter. It carries a payload of 60KG, has a maximum speed of 500KM per hour, and can sustain flight for up to four hours.
In other words, if you disregard the need for it to return home, the maximum operational range of the TC-200 drone is 2000KM.
The high-speed, long-range use case makes it clear that controlling it with a 3G network connection is not feasible. Therefore, Chen Yang changed the way it is controlled, overriding the law by implementing remote antenna control, allowing for control and data transmission up to 200 kilometers away.
