(ECNS) -- The SA750U, China's first large unmanned cargo aircraft with a payload capacity exceeding 3 metric tons, completed its maiden flight at the dedicated drone test airport in Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi Province, on Thursday.

The aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of 7,500 kilograms, a maximum payload of 3,200 kilograms, a maximum range of 2,200 kilometers, and a maximum cruising speed of 308 kilometers per hour.

It can take off fully loaded within a runway distance of about 400 meters at low altitudes and fly at altitudes of up to 7,300 meters, with a cargo hold volume of 25.8 cubic meters.
