Grey Whale G1: Redefining Reliable Air Transport in Harsh Environments

As the demand for efficient, reliable, and cost-effective aerial logistics grows, the Grey Whale G1 Transport UAV Helicopter from ZIYAN is setting a new benchmark for heavy-lift unmanned aerial transport. Designed for resilience and performance, the Grey Whale G1 thrives in environments where traditional multirotor drones struggle — from open seas to mountainous regions and high-altitude logistics corridors.

Built for Harsh Conditions

Engineered for reliability in extreme conditions, the Grey Whale G1 features a Level 8 wind resistance, enabling stable flight even under strong coastal or offshore winds. Its robust airframe supports a maximum payload of 15 kg, allowing it to carry substantial cargo such as emergency supplies, medical kits, or maintenance tools. With a communication range of 30 km and full-load endurance of up to 40 minutes, the aircraft is purpose-built for medium- to long-range missions requiring high stability and consistency.

Proven Performance: Platform-to-Platform Operations

Performance data from ZIYAN’s inter-platform transport trials showcases the Grey Whale G1’s exceptional efficiency and control. Even under adverse wind conditions, the UAV demonstrated smooth, stable cargo delivery between offshore platforms, proving its capability in real-world logistics scenarios.
These trials confirm that the Grey Whale G1 can significantly reduce operational costs by combining easy deployment, low maintenance, and high transport efficiency, making it a practical choice for maritime, energy, and remote-area logistics.

Certified for Safety and Excellence

The Grey Whale G1 has obtained the Special Airworthiness Certification from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) — a significant milestone that underscores ZIYAN’s commitment to safety and regulatory compliance. This certification not only validates the system’s reliability and design integrity but also sets a new industry standard for unmanned cargo transportation.

Revolutionizing Remote Transport and Logistics

Designed to transform the way cargo is delivered to remote and hard-to-reach locations, the Grey Whale G1 offers a safe, autonomous, and cost-efficient alternative to manned transport. Whether it’s delivering supplies to isolated islands, mountain villages, or high-altitude sites, the G1 excels where traditional logistics fall short.

Key Advantages of the Grey Whale G1

• Heavy Payload Capacity – Supports up to 15 kg of cargo for transporting equipment, tools, or emergency goods.

• Extended Flight Range – Operates up to 60 km, enabling access to difficult or hazardous locations.

• Advanced Safety Systems – Integrated parachute recovery system ensures secure landing and cargo protection in case of emergency.

• High Wind Tolerance – Maintains stable performance even under Level 8 wind resistance, vital for maritime and offshore operations.

• Cost-Effective Logistics – Reduces dependence on manned transport, cutting fuel and maintenance costs.

  
  

Key Application Scenarios

• Island and Mountain Transport – Delivering goods and equipment between remote islands or through mountainous regions.

• Emergency Response – Providing rapid delivery of medical supplies, food, and essential resources in disaster-stricken or isolated areas.

• Industrial Logistics – Streamlining deliveries for offshore platforms, energy sites, and construction zones to boost operational efficiency.
