About Skybridge 무인 헬리콥터
스카이브리지(Skybridge)는 항구가 없는 도서 지역으로 선박에서 화물을 운송하기 위해 설계된 무인 헬리콥터입니다. 기체는 해양 생물의 유선형 형태를 따라 공기 저항과 에너지 소모를 줄였습니다. 동체 패널은 복합소재를 사용해 일체형으로 성형되었으며, 내부 구조에는 탄소섬유를 적용해 중량을 32퍼센트 절감했습니다. 다중 후크 방식의 화물 현수 장치와 하부 윈치를 통해 최대 고도 6,000미터, 초속 12미터의 풍속 조건에서 260킬로그램의 화물을 운반할 수 있습니다. 지원 선박에 탑승한 운용자가 기체에 장착된 카메라와 센서의 정보를 바탕으로 헬리콥터를 원격으로 조종합니다.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Designed for cargo delivery to portless islands, this helicopter overcomes geographical barriers. Its biomechanically optimized airframe, multi-hook suspension, and intelligent undercarriage winches achieve a 260kg payload capacity—operating reliably at 6,000m altitude and 12m/s winds, redefining aerial logistics for extreme environments.

- Production Technology
- The manufacturing process integrates the modular assembly concept of the naval industry, and adopts composite materials to realize one-piece molding of the fuselage covering parts. The internal structure uses carbon fiber materials to achieve a 32% breakthrough in lightweight, which significantly improves the carrying efficiency. The streamlined aerodynamic design is modeled after marine life, which ensures the structural strength and effectively reduces the operational energy consumption.
- Design Challenge
- Balancing the societal need for efficient island resupply with minimizing environmental impact and complying with UAV regulations proved challenging. Developing a safe, reliable unmanned system with the required payload and capture capabilities required extensive research and design iterations.
- Research
- This design analyzes the efficient movement mechanism of marine organisms through bionic methods, focusing on the hydrodynamic curves and their energy transfer modes when fish swim. Combined with computational fluid dynamics simulation and 3D scanning modeling technology, the bio-evolutionary advantages of marine organisms, such as drag-reducing characteristics, are transformed into UAV engineering parameters.
- Inspiration
- This unmanned helicopter is designed for cargo transport from ships to portless islands. Maritime operational demands inspired its biomimetic approach, translating marine organisms' hydrodynamic efficiency into aerospace engineering. The streamlined fuselage curvature and rotor system synergy originate from analyzing oceanic lifeforms' drag-resistant structures.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2024 in Beijing and finished in February 2025 in Beijing.
- Operation Flow
- Operators on a support vessel remotely control the helicopter, using onboard cameras and sensors for real-time visual feedback. The operators identify and control helicopter to capture the cargo, providing a secure and damage-free delivery method compared to direct airdrops.
