TJU UAV

TJU UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Tianjin University (TJU). As an academic research and development establishment, TJU is only limited to the development of UAVs. The production and marketing of these UAVs are performed by two companies via joint development agreement with TJU, and these two companies are Noble Moral Aviation (沈阳通飞航空科技有限公司) and Dong Xin Airlines (沈阳东信科技开发有限公司), both heardquartered in Shenyang. Some of the UAVs marketed by both companies are jointly developed by TJU and Shenyang Institute of Automation (SYIA, 沈阳自动化研究所) of Chinese Academy of Sciences. As of 2013, all of UAVs developed by TJU and its associates are unmanned helicopters.
