LY100-H13: 100 kg Lifting Drone
A compact 4-axis 8-rotor platform rated for 100 kg of sustained payload and 120 kg at maximum. The entry point to the Lingyi payload ladder — and the model most often specified for rescue and short-haul work.
Built to a working load, not a marketing number
The LY100-H13 uses a 4-axis 8-rotor layout with H13 propulsion — the same motor family used on manned platforms, chosen here for voltage headroom and thermal margin. Recommended payload is 100 kg; the airframe is tested to 120 kg.

When 100 kg is the right answer
Most "heavy lift" enquiries arrive oversized. If your actual working load is 60–90 kg and your route is under 5 km, a 450 kg airframe costs you twice as much to buy, ship and insure for no operational gain.
The LY100-H13 is the smallest airframe in the range that still carries a genuine 100 kg. It folds down for vehicle transport, launches from a small clearing, and runs on a two-person crew.
