Though not as practical as the EHang EH216 manned drone for law enforcement purposes, the Scorpion D does take the title of world’s first four-engine large drone, and it just completed its maiden flight in China. This twin-tailed, unmanned aerial vehicle is capable of transporting heavier payloads, thanks to 20-meter fixed wings equipped with four engines.

On the other hand, Tengden’s Scorpion D can carry a maximum of 1.5-tons of payload as large as 5-cubic-meters, so many would find it useful for logistic operations or possibly even delivery. For those wanting to see it in person, you’ll have to head on over to the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, or the Zhuhai Airshow, the latter of which begins on November 7th.
