Drone giant DJI has launched its first large drones designed for material transport, with maximum payload capacities of 200 kilograms, reports Caixin.
Under domestic regulations in China, drones with a maximum take-off weight exceeding 150 kilograms are classified as large. Before this launch, DJI had primarily focused on micro, light, small and midsize drones for aerial photography, surveying, inspection and agricultural use.
The two newly launched products, the T200 and FC200, are priced at RMB 99,000 ($14,500) and RMB 134,000, respectively. The T200 remains classified as an agricultural drone, restricted to farming and forestry scenarios with strict limits on flight altitude, speed and radius. However, it benefits from lower regulatory barriers, requiring only corporate training certificates rather than official regulatory licenses or prior flight plan declarations.
