About Hua Ying Aviation

Shaanxi Huaying Zhongxing Aviation Technology Co., Ltd., operating as Huaying Airlines, is a developer and manufacturer of large-tonnage unmanned transport aircraft. The company was established in 2022 through a collaboration of industrial, capital, and technical partners. Key founders include Yan Jianya, who founded the listed companies Triangle Defense and Giant Biogene, alongside the marketing firm Sanrenxing and the private equity fund He Ling Capital. The core technical team comprises individuals from China's premier aviation research institutions who have held senior design and project management roles on key national aircraft programs. Huaying Airlines focuses on the high-value, large-scale low-altitude logistics market, positioning itself to support commercial logistics, emergency material transport, and supply chain solutions for remote regions. The company operates by developing a complete technology loop, including autonomous flight control, domestic powertrain, and proprietary platform development. In a significant milestone, Huaying Airlines secured 100 orders for its HE-1 aircraft from five clients, including logistics giant ZTO Group, with a total value exceeding 3 billion yuan in February 2025. This was followed by a successful Series A funding round in May 2026, raising over 500 million yuan from a consortium of 20 investment institutions. The company's core product is the HE-1 series, a multi-functional large unmanned transport aircraft. The HE-1A model features a 4-ton maximum takeoff weight and a 2-ton payload capacity. It is engineered for short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities on unprepared surfaces such as grass or gravel, removing the dependency on traditional airport infrastructure. The aircraft's functions are versatile, encompassing transportation, airdrops, emergency rescue, and reconnaissance, serving a mix of civilian and military applications. Notably, the HE-1 is built with 100% domestically produced components, with the company holding full intellectual property rights.
