An airframe company, not a reseller
HoverWing designs, builds and supports unmanned aircraft — airframe, flight control and imaging systems are developed in-house, not assembled from a catalogue.
What we do
We manufacture compound-wing UAV aircraft in electric and hybrid-electric configurations, plus tandem-rotor heavy-lift unmanned helicopters. Payload capacity runs from 5 kg to 200 kg, and endurance up to 2.5 hours on station.
- Airframe design and composite production in-house
- Flight control and imaging systems developed in-house
- Propulsion, radar and data-link subsystems integrated from qualified suppliers
- Regional maintenance, repair and spares hub in Beijing

How we work with customers
Most of our programmes start with an operating profile rather than a purchase order: terrain, altitude, sortie length, payload and the communications environment. We respond with a platform recommendation, a payload configuration and a delivery schedule. Where a customer needs sovereign capability, we support local assembly, crew training and through-life maintenance.
