is a Chinese company that’s hoping to target South East Asia with its unmanned helicopter and has a stand at the Singapore Air Show for the first time.
The company has so far only sold its X200 within China, but says it is the biggest private player in the UAS market there.
The machine can perform functions such as surveillance and monitoring, oil and electricity inspection, mapping and border patrol according to the company.
Yotaisc is hoping to sell 50 of them this year, and will compete on cost.”In China, we have skilled human resources, but our labour costs are much lower than other countries,” Yang Zhao, chief operating officer at the Beijing-based company told the BBC through a translator. “Therefore we have a very significant price advantage.”
Mr Zhao says the company will begin by targeting South East Asian nations such as Indonesia and Malaysia, but then seek out other markets. “Our technology and our team’s technical level have reached an advanced level in the world. Therefore, we want to step out of China and compete for international market share with other advanced drone builders around the world.”
