When the load does not negotiate
The LY500 and LY600 exist for payloads that cannot be split. A 550 kg transformer, a generator set, a pre-assembled structural section — if it has to arrive in one piece, this is the class that does it.
Both are 8-axis 16-rotor airframes with 76-inch pure carbon fibre folding props and plug-in arms. The folding and plug-in design is not cosmetic: at this size, transport and setup determine whether the aircraft is usable on a real site at all.
The LY500 runs XA110H or T-MOTOR A18 propulsion with 30 kWh fast-charge or 40 kWh solid-state battery sets. The LY600 steps to a custom XA130H power system with 35 kWh fast-charge or 50 kWh solid-state — 600 kg recommended, 700 kg maximum.
Above 700 kg we move to the 800V high-voltage custom platform, covering 500–1000 kg. That is a separate engineering conversation, and we are happy to have it.
