RHKJ UAV
RHKJ UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Xiamen Ruihang Precision Technology Co., Ltd. (RHKJ, 厦门睿航精密科技有限公司), most of which are unmanned helicopters, but there is also a fixed-wing UAV.

RLX-1
RLX-1 MAV is a multirotor developed by RHKJ and it is a hexacopter. RLX-1 is different than most other multirotors currently in service in that instead of the common layout of six armed extended from the center, RLX-1 adopts a linear layout where three pairs of arms extended from the main beam. Payload is attached in tip of the beam.[6] Specification:[7]
