Jinghong Drone Launches M400 Agricultural Drone, Advancing Large-Scale Smart Farming with 180L Capacity
Jinghong Drone, a leading manufacturer of agricultural and industrial drone systems, has officially launched the M400 Agricultural Drone, a new high-capacity model engineered for modern crop protection and large-scale field operations.
Designed to meet the growing demand for greater efficiency, precision, and reliability, the M400 integrates a substantial payload capacity, intelligent sensing technology, and a rugged structural design into a single, powerful platform. This launch reinforces Jinghong Drone’s commitment to delivering practical, field-ready innovation for the evolving needs of modern agriculture.
High-Capacity Design for Maximum Operational Efficiency
The M400 features a maximum tank capacity of 180 liters, with additional configuration options of 110L, 130L, and 150L to suit diverse application requirements. Under optimal conditions, the drone can cover up to 150 mu (approximately 10 hectares) in a single operation.
This extended capacity significantly reduces refill frequency, minimizes downtime, and enhances overall productivity—particularly valuable for large-scale farms and continuous field operations. For agricultural service providers and growers alike, this translates to more productive flight hours and improved operational throughput.
To support demanding workloads, the M400 is equipped with three smart lithium batteries designed for rapid hot-swapping, enabling uninterrupted field operations. A future solid-state battery version is also planned, offering an upgrade path for extended endurance.
The airframe is constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum and carbon fiber, achieving an optimal balance of strength and weight. Its carbon fiber propellers deliver stable performance at high speeds and ensure reliable operation in challenging field conditions.
Intelligent Sensing for Precision and Safety
The M400 is engineered to operate safely and accurately in complex agricultural environments. It comes standard with:
- 360° radar for comprehensive obstacle detection
- High-definition wide-angle camera for real-time visual feedback
- Dual-antenna RTK positioning system for centimeter-level accuracy
Together, these technologies enhance route precision, obstacle avoidance, and flight stability. The drone is capable of operating in low-light conditions, at night, and in fields with trees, power lines, and uneven terrain—expanding the practical applications of aerial crop protection.
The spraying system is optimized for consistent application. Centrifugal nozzles are positioned below the tank to minimize splash and reduce corrosion risk to the airframe, improving spray uniformity during field operations.
Additionally, the M400 features an anti-blocking spreading system compatible with both liquid spraying and granular spreading. This enables more precise input application, reduces waste, and supports sustainable farming practices.
Durable Construction with Simplified Maintenance
Built for the rigors of intensive agricultural use, the M400 incorporates a redundant structural design and a compact folding body for enhanced reliability and ease of transport.
When folded, the drone measures just 1.4 m × 1.1 m, making transportation and field deployment significantly more convenient—an essential feature for operators managing multiple field locations.
The platform achieves up to 90% parts standardization, simplifying maintenance and improving parts compatibility. According to internal data, total maintenance costs are approximately 35% lower than those of comparable models in the same class, offering operators a clear long-term value advantage.
Supporting the Next Era of Agricultural Modernization
The launch of the M400 represents a significant advancement in the agricultural drone sector. As farm operations continue to scale and demand more efficient crop protection methods, equipment capacity, intelligence, and durability have become critical success factors.
With its large-capacity design and intelligent operating systems, the M400 delivers a more capable solution for modern farming needs improving field efficiency, reducing labor demands, and enabling more precise application of agricultural inputs. It also expands the practical utility of drones in increasingly complex and demanding environments.
For the industry, the M400 signals a move toward more scalable, data-driven, and efficient agricultural operations. For end users, it offers a powerful new tool for boosting productivity and operational resilience.
