We at DJI Agriculture are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest DJI UAV models, the T100 and T70 series, marking a significant milestone in our 12-year journey of revolutionizing the agricultural sector. Our mission, “Making Agriculture Easier, Making Life Better,” drives every innovation we introduce, and these new DJI drone systems embody our commitment to providing safe, reliable, and cost-effective solutions for farmers worldwide. With over 40,000 DJI UAV units sold globally as of October 2024, we continue to expand our footprint across six continents, benefiting millions in the agricultural community. This release aims to cater to diverse user types and operational scenarios, ensuring that every farmer can leverage advanced technology for enhanced productivity.
Our flagship T100 DJI UAV sets a new standard in agricultural aviation, featuring high efficiency, substantial rated takeoff weight, and advanced safety systems. With a maximum takeoff weight of 149.9 kg, it supports a 75L spraying capacity, 150L broadcasting capacity, and 85kg lifting capability. The co-axial dual-rotor configuration, paired with 1.57m carbon fiber blades, delivers powerful performance, achieving a maximum speed of 13.8 m/s. This DJI drone is designed to handle varied terrains, from flat fields to steep orchards, with a climb capability of up to 90 degrees, eliminating the need for pre-mapping in many cases. The integration of AI and AR functionalities enhances operational intelligence, making it a versatile tool for spraying, broadcasting, and lifting tasks.
To illustrate the key specifications of the T100 and T70 series DJI UAV, we have compiled a comparative table below:

| AI and AR Features | Full integration for obstacle recognition and safety | Standard with enhanced algorithms |
The safety systems in our DJI UAV have been elevated to a “top-tier” level with the T100. Equipped with a new laser radar and active phased array radar, it offers omnidirectional perception, accurately identifying obstacles like wires and fine objects in fields. The laser radar captures spatial point clouds at a density of up to 300,000 points per second, enabling precise boundary mapping. Combined with a five-eye fisheye visual system, it provides 360-degree real-time environmental awareness, issuing warnings via the remote controller to ensure safe takeoffs and landings. Our AI algorithms automatically detect and store obstacles during operations, improving efficiency in repeated tasks and enhancing safety over time. Additionally, the AR safety辅助功能 includes features like detecting people and vehicles during takeoff and landing, generating AR flight trajectories for better pilot anticipation, and projecting safe landing guides to prevent accidents. This comprehensive approach minimizes risks, making every DJI drone operation safer for operators and bystanders.
In terms of performance, the T100 DJI UAV excels in spraying applications, with a dual-nozzle maximum flow rate of 30 L/min and adjustable droplet sizes from 50 to 500 micrometers. For specialized tasks like thick-canopy orchards, optional water-cooled mist nozzles can achieve a flow rate of up to 4,030 L/min, with droplet sizes as fine as 10 micrometers, ensuring uniform coverage and superior efficiency. The broadcasting system, with a 150L capacity and a new spiral auger, doubles the flow rate to 400 L/min, increasing overall operational efficiency by 70%. It supports four interchangeable augers for various granule types, enabling precise application. As a lifting tool, the T100 can handle 85kg loads, using a three-direction force sensor to stabilize cargo and eliminate swings during flight. Pilots can set loading and unloading points via a mobile app, with AR displays on the remote controller for easy navigation, and weight detection prevents overloading, simplifying transactions.
Energy management is a critical aspect of our DJI UAV design. The T100 features a new intelligent flight battery that offers higher capacity with reduced weight. Addressing the industry challenge of heat dissipation, we introduced a three-airflow design that cools the battery through optimized channels, ensuring stable performance during flight. This innovation allows for safe, continuous operation without overheating risks. Paired with the D14000iE versatile frequency conversion charging station, the battery can be charged in just 9 minutes, reducing fuel consumption and operational costs. Additionally, a new vehicle-mounted charger provides quiet, eco-friendly energy replenishment, supporting sustainable farming practices.
Moving to the T70 series, these DJI drone models are built for affordability without compromising on capability. They support spraying, broadcasting, and lifting scenarios, with the T70 offering a 50kg spraying payload and 70kg broadcasting capacity, while the T70P upgrades to a 70L tank and a 41Ah long-endurance battery for extended operations. Safety remains a priority, with triple-eye visual systems and front and rear active phased array radars, integrated with AI and AR functions similar to the T100. The AI automatically identifies and logs obstacles, boosting efficiency in familiar fields, and AR features assist with takeoff, landing, and flight path visualization. For lifting, the T70 series handles 65kg loads, with mobile app-based point setting and AR guidance for manual or automatic transport, along with weight detection for safety and billing ease.
The energy efficiency of the T70 series DJI UAV has been significantly improved through optimized power systems. With higher energy-density batteries, they support two-battery cycling for continuous operation, landing and taking off seamlessly. We have achieved a 25% reduction in energy consumption per sortie, which translates to lower fuel costs and enhanced sustainability. This can be expressed mathematically using an efficiency formula: $$ \text{Energy Savings} = \text{Previous Consumption} \times (1 – 0.25) $$ where the previous consumption is based on standard operational parameters. For instance, if a typical DJI drone consumed 100 units of energy per sortie, the T70 series would use only 75 units, leading to cumulative savings over time.
To further illustrate the operational benefits, consider the broadcasting efficiency of our DJI UAV models. The overall efficiency improvement can be modeled as: $$ \text{Efficiency Gain} = \frac{\text{New Rate} – \text{Old Rate}}{\text{Old Rate}} \times 100\% $$ For the T100, with a broadcasting flow rate increase to 400 L/min from a baseline, the gain is approximately 70%, as mentioned. This translates to more area covered in less time, reducing labor costs and increasing yield potential.
We are also proud of our comprehensive support ecosystem for DJI drone users. In 2024, we have lowered the entry barrier with financial initiatives like the “Pilot Loan,” offering interest rates as low as 3.2% and a 20% down payment, accessible through our DJI Agricultural Service platform. This empowers more individuals to start their agricultural businesses with reduced upfront costs. Our售后 network has expanded to 1,100 repair points, ensuring that over 90% of users are within a 50km, one-hour drive of a service center. Moreover, 98% of repairs are completed within six hours, minimizing downtime. Every new DJI UAV purchase includes a care plan with basic and consumable part coverage, allowing for zero-cost repairs within limits, and a third-party liability insurance of up to 600,000 CNY, with single medical limits raised to 100,000 CNY, covering lifting scenarios for added security.
Reflecting on our journey since 2012, when we first applied cutting-edge无人机 technology to agriculture, we have consistently pushed boundaries. The integration of DJI FPV elements in our systems, though primarily for agricultural use, enhances pilot experience by providing immersive views for better decision-making. Our DJI UAV portfolio now includes features that leverage spatial intelligence, contributing to digital agriculture solutions worldwide. As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to innovating and supporting the global farming community through reliable products and services.
In summary, the T100 and T70 series DJI drone models represent our commitment to excellence in agricultural aviation. With advanced AI, AR, and safety features, they cater to a wide range of scenarios, from spraying and broadcasting to lifting. The tables and formulas provided highlight their superior performance and efficiency gains.
