From May 21 to 23, 2026, Shenzhen once again became the focal point of the low-altitude economy as the 11th Shenzhen International UAV Expo (UASE 2026) came to a successful close.
Traveling more than 2,000 kilometers from Tianjin by the Haihe River to Shenzhen on the South China Sea coast, ZHTAERO arrived at Booth 1C343 in Hall 1 with a complete drone portfolio spanning the KEEL series and the full X300 lineup. It was the brand's strongest exhibition lineup to date and quickly became one of the show's major highlights.
300 kg Payload UAV: A Heavy-Lift Aerial Powerhouse
Built for ultra-heavy-lift operations, this compact modular transport platform combines a modular architecture with high-strength self-locking arms and detachable landing gear. Even with its large airframe, the aircraft can be disassembled into a compact form factor, greatly improving transport flexibility.
It integrates industrial-grade 400/800 V soft-start module, developed by ZHTAERO, enabling one-button safe power-up and helping ensure electrical safety under high-power output. The platform supports dual PWM + CAN and provides real-time digital monitoring of aircraft-wide voltage, current, and propulsion status.
ZHT Aero, in joint collaboration with industry-leading propulsion system partners, presents a co-exhibition.
The X300 heavy-lift drone platform made a striking appearance at the HOBBYWING booth, drawing distinguished guests and professional visitors..
KEEL Series: Modular Coverage for Diverse Scenarios
Heavy-Lift Breakthrough: KEEL MAX
With an exceptional payload capacity of 100-200 kg , KEEL MAX drone is engineered for extreme-load scenarios such as large equipment transport, heavy-duty firefighting, and emergency search and rescue (SAR) operations. Its modular structure allows compact storage: a standard van can easily carry three to four units, solving the logistics bottlenecks for oversized heavy-lift equipment.
Equipped with the X-A16L coaxial propulsion system, KEEL MAX was showcased at the T-Motor booth. It offered the industry a comprehensive look into the sheer power of heavy-lift industrial barebone platforms.
The Golden-Ratio Payload Platform: KEEL Plus
The newly upgraded KEEL Plus achieves an extended 120-minute mission time with a 7 kg payload. With this performance, it sets a new benchmark and continuously extend the flight range for all-electric UAVs.
Proven Bestseller: KEEL
KEEL UAV delivers up to 160 minutes of no-load endurance and excellent multi-role capability. Through a universal quick-release interface, it can rapidly switch between inspection, emergency response, and logistics missions.
Gearing Up for What Comes Next: ZHTAERO's Strategic Roadmap
Innovation does not pause, and neither do we. The successful close of this expo marks the end of one milestone and the beginning of a new journey for ZHTAERO. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus our efforts in three key areas:
Technology-Driven, Market-Oriented
We will accelerate iteration across our full UAV portfolio and continue increasing investment in core R&D. With a focus on flight-control algorithms, aerodynamic optimization, and lightweight structures, ZHTAERO will further strengthen product competitiveness, participate deeply in global industry dialogue, and contribute key momentum to UAV innovation worldwide.
Logistics Systems and Multi-Aircraft Dispatch
Building on the strengths of our self-developed aircraft across multiple payload classes, long endurance, and long-range operations, we have begun developing a UAV logistics dispatch system and an intelligent ground-station control platform. Together, these systems are designed to enable closed-loop management across the entire workflow, including multi-aircraft coordination, dynamic route planning, airspace conflict avoidance, real-time status monitoring, and intelligent task allocation, fully empowering efficient low-altitude logistics operations.
Battery and Power System Advancement
We will integrate the development of -UAV-BMS (battery management system) with high-rate fast-charging technology. Through cell-level precision monitoring, active balancing control, and optimized thermal management, we aim to improve battery energy density and cycle life. At the same time, breakthroughs in 3C+ fast charging will significantly shorten charging cycles, enabling short-stop fast charging and high-efficiency redeployment while strengthening operational efficiency and endurance assurance for UAV missions.
Grateful for the Journey. Excited for What's Ahead
We sincerely thank every customer and partner who visited our booth and shared their insights. Your trust and support are what keep us moving forward. ZHTAERO will continue to uphold the craftsmanship of an original manufacturer, delivering better products and technologies as we fly higher together. See you at the next industry event.
