D18 (twin-tailed Scorpion D) (be9b466e-bb1f-580f-8edc-73056f828c59)
The D18 (Twin‑Tailed Scorpion D), developed by Wuhu Tengden Aviation Technology, is a four‑engine, piston‑powered cargo UAV designed for low‑altitude strategic logistics. With a 20 m wingspan, 10.5 m length, 4.35 t maximum take‑off weight and a 1.8 t payload capacity, it can transport up to 5 m³ of cargo over 600 km while operating from –55 °C to +70 °C. Its modular cargo bay and redundant systems enable rapid “one‑touch” launches and single‑operator control of up to ten aircraft simultaneously. Tengden markets the D18 as a cornerstone of China’s “five‑all” low‑altitude economy, supporting regional supply chains, emergency response, infrastructure inspection and other all‑weather, all‑scenario aerial services.
