Aisheng ASN-1

ASN-1 UAV and its successors are Chinese micro air vehicles (MAV)s developed by Xi'an Aisheng Technology Group Co., Ltd (西安爱生技术集团公司) ASN Technology Group Co., Ltd (西安爱生技术集团公司), also known as Northwestern Polytechnical University UAV Research Institute or 365th Institute [1], established in 1984.

ASN-1

ASN-1 UAV is a fixed wing MAV in conventional layout with high wing configuration and T-tail. Propuslion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven piston engine mounted on the wing. Specification:

• Wingspan (m): 3
• Length (m): 1.8
• Max weight (kg): 6.5
• Max speed (km/hr): 90
• Ceiling (km): 0.5
• Minimum operating altitude (m): 50
• Remote control radius (km): 10
• Endurance (hjr): 2
• Fuel: gasoline
• Launch: by hand

ASN-15

ASN-15 is a development of ASN-1 MAV and share the same configuration, and externally, they look almost identical to each other. Specification:

• Speed (km/hr): 80
• Normal operating altitude (km): 0.5
• Ceiling (km): 3
• Endurance (hr): 1
• Remote control radius (km): 10
• Weight (kg): 6
• Launch: by hand
• Recovery: glide or parachute

ASN-217

ASN-217 is a further development of ASN-15, and it is a fixed wing MAV in conventional layout with high wing configuration and T-tail. ASN-217 share the identical layout of ASN-1 and ASN-15, and as with these earlier members of this series, ASN-217 is also electrically powered. Specification:

• Take-off weight (kg): 5.5
• Payload (kg); 1.5
• Ceiling (km): 4
• Max speed (km/hr): 120
• Cruising speed (km/hr): 40 – 70
• Endurance (hr): 1.5
• Remote control radius (km): 20
• Wingspan (m): 2.7
• Length (m): 1.7
