-看“双尾蝎D”首飞过程-

10月25日12点23分，自贡凤鸣通用机场，一架代号为“双尾蝎D”的大型四发无人机自主驶入跑道并顺利升空，飞行18分钟后，于12点41分平稳着陆，全程无故障。

The Twin-Tailed Scorpion Dtook off at Zigong Fengming Airport at 12:23 and landed smoothly at 12:41 after 18-minute trouble-free flight.

由四川腾盾科创股份有限公司自主研发，并拥有完全知识产权的大型四发(装有四台发动机)无人机在四川自贡凤鸣通用机场成功首飞。

The Twin-Tailed Scorpion D, a four-engine large drone independently developed by China, made its maiden flight in Zigong, Southwest China's Sichuan Province on October 25, 2022.

此次腾盾科创推出全球首款大型四发无人机并实现首飞，标志着我国商用中大型无人机产业已进入发展快车道。

It showed that China's large drone industry can quickly respond to market demand for new drones.

据了解，此次成功首飞的“双尾蝎D”是在“双尾蝎”系列无人机平台基础上开发的新型支援保障型产品，是全球首款大型四发、多用途、中空长航时固定翼无人机。该机翼展20米、机长10.5米、机高3.1米，最大起飞重量4.35吨、最大载重重量1.5吨、最大装载空间5立方米。

This multipurpose, medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle system with fixed wings and four engines is the first of its kind in the world. The drone has a wingspan of 20 meters, a length of 10.5 meters and a height of 3.1 meters. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 4.35 tons, a maximum payload weight of 1.5 tons and a maximum cargo space of 5 cubic meters.

四台发动机和发电机配置，使得“双尾蝎D”在保持“双尾蝎”系列无人机既有优势的基础上，具备了更大的装载空间、更重的装载能力、更强的用电支持和更高的系统可靠性、飞行安全性，可携带更多高性能的任务载荷，执行货运物流、航空播撒、任务载荷使用等支援保障任务。

Developed based on the original Twin-Tailed Scorpion drone, the new aircraft can carry heavier and larger payloads, provide enhanced power support, and offer higher system reliability and flight safety thanks to the extra engines and power generators.

据介绍，此次“双尾蝎D”成功首飞后将迅速转场珠海，亮相11月7日开幕的第十四届中国航展，向国内外的展商、客户、专业人士、航空爱好者，展示大型四发无人机的魅力。

The aircraft will make its public debuton November 7at the Airshow China 2022, which will be held in November in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong Province.
