CHCNAV X500 Professional Multirotor Drone: heavy-lift, long-endurance enterprise UAV

The CHCNAV X500 Professional Multirotor Drone is a heavy-lift enterprise UAV designed for demanding field operations that require high payload capacity, long endurance, and operational reliability. Built around a carbon-fiber airframe with redundant flight systems, the X500 supports certified CHCNAV LiDAR and imaging payloads up to 5 kg while delivering up to 58 minutes of flight time with no payload.

Integrated visual SLAM positioning, forward obstacle detection, and terrain-following flight enable safe operation in complex environments, making the platform well-suited for surveying, inspection, emergency response, and disaster operations.

Key flight systems and operational advantages

  • Payload capacity: Supports up to 5 kg certified CHCNAV payloads
  • Flight endurance: Up to 58 minutes without payload, 52 minutes with 2 kg
  • Redundant navigation: Dual GNSS, triple IMU, dual flight controllers
  • Environmental protection: IP55-rated airframe for rain and dust resistance
  • Obstacle detection: Forward vision sensor detects obstacles up to 80 meters
  • Visual positioning: vSLAM enables precision flight in GNSS-challenged environments
  • Power continuity: Dual hot-swappable intelligent batteries minimize downtime
  • Field charging: BS10 station charges two batteries simultaneously in 40 minutes
  • Long-range control: Up to 20 km HD video transmission capability

Redundant control architecture with visual SLAM and obstacle awareness

The X500 integrates multiple layers of redundancy across its navigation, sensing, and control systems to ensure stable flight in complex operational conditions. Dual GNSS modules and triple IMUs provide continuous positioning reliability, while dual flight controllers enable fault tolerance during abnormal events.

Visual SLAM positioning improves accuracy during low-altitude or signal-degraded operations, supporting precise takeoff and landing scenarios. A forward obstacle detection sensor actively identifies structures such as trees, towers, and buildings, reducing collision risk during automated and manual missions.

Heavy-lift performance supported by intelligent energy and payload systems

Designed to carry certified CHCNAV LiDAR and imaging payloads, the X500 enables extended data-collection missions without compromising flight stability. Dual B10 intelligent batteries support hot-swap replacement, allowing continuous operations without powering down the aircraft.

The BS10 intelligent battery station supports six batteries and rapid charging cycles, enabling sustained field deployment. Combined with terrain-following flight modes, SmartGo mission planning, and long-range HD video transmission, the X500 delivers reliable performance for time-critical enterprise missions.
