The third largest share of Sichuan Tengden Science Innovation Joint Stock Limited Company is an investment partnership controlled by individuals outside of either Sichuan Tengden company. However, this investment partnership is partially owned by individuals within Sichuan Tengden companies, via minority ownership stakes. An investment partnership that maintains far less ownership of the company is also around 30 percent owned by a group of Sichuan Tengden Science and Technology Co., Ltd. And Sichuan Tengden Science Innovation Joint Stock Limited Company executives and board members. Furthermore, Sichuan Tengden Science and Technology Co., Ltd. Founder Nie Haitao (聂海涛) directly owns around China Aerospace Studies Institute two percent of Sichuan Tengden Science Innovation Joint Stock Limited Company. [1]

Products

At the 2018 Zhuhai Airshow, Tengden displayed a full-size mockup of the Tengden TB-001 (TW-356) twin-engine unmanned aerial system designed for the transportation of heavy cargo. TW356 can be configured to carry cargo on four underwing hardpoints, as payloads configured in pods, including cargo delivery, remote sensing, or electronic warfare packages. The company also develops a variant of the drone designed for operation at very high altitudes. The largest variant, TW-765, will be able to carry 22 tons of payload up to 7,500 km. [2]

Other products include the TA001 “Striking Hawk” fixed-wing UAV and HA001 and HB001 VTOL UAVs. [3]

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without any human pilot, crew, or passengers on board. UAVs were originally developed through the twentieth century for military missions too "dull, dirty or dangerous" for humans, and by the twenty-first, they had become essential assets to most militaries. As control technologies improved and costs fell, their use expanded to many non-military applications. These include aerial photography, area coverage, precision agriculture, forest fire monitoring, river monitoring, environmental monitoring, policing and surveillance, infrastructure inspections, smuggling, product deliveries, entertainment, and drone racing.

A delivery drone is a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to transport items such as packages, medicines, foods, postal mails, and other light goods. Large corporations like Amazon, DHL and FedEx have started to use drone delivery services. Drones were used effectively in the fight against COVID-19, delivering millions of vaccines and medical supplies across the globe. Drone deliveries are highly efficient, significantly speeding up delivery times and avoiding challenges traditional delivery vehicles may encounter. Given their life-saving potential use cases for medical supplies in particular have become the most widely-tested type of drone delivery, with trials and pilot projects in dozens of countries such as Australia, Canada, Botswana, Ghana, Uganda, the UK, the US among others.
