About
About ZTX260
ZTX260 combines a heavy-lift multirotor, a high-voltage tether and a ground firefighting vehicle for sustained work above high-rise incidents. The aircraft lifts a hose and mission equipment while pumps, extinguishing agent and power equipment remain on the vehicle. Droneyee specifies at least 120 kilograms of payload, firefighting heights up to 150 metres and foam-mixture flow up to 480 litres per minute.
The system supports compressed-air foam discharge, window breaking and aerial reconnaissance from the same tethered platform. Continuous ground power removes the short endurance constraint of a battery-only heavy-lift aircraft; the published configuration lists up to four hours for firefighting flight and up to eight hours of hovering. Positioning redundancy, propulsion and communications fault responses, automatic landing logic and an integrated emergency parachute address failure conditions during elevated operation.
