Between 1988 and 1990, Dr. Danny H. Y. Li (currently the Chief Designer at Zhuhai NCA), then a graduate student at Beihang University, successfully designed, manufactured, and flew a remote-controlled micro electric quadcopter. This aircraft is recorded as one of the world's earliest remote-controlled micro electric quadcopters: the Remote Control Rotor Flying Platform (RFP LYON-9003, BUAA 1990).

From 1992 to 1994, Dr. Li successfully developed the world's first remote-autopilot micro electric coaxial twin-rotor helicopter (RPV-CRH Heli) at Beihang University. The core technology of this innovation was awarded an original independent intellectual property patent in China.

The micro electric coaxial twin-rotor helicopter created by Dr. Li garnered significant attention from international peers. In November 2002, at the invitation of the American Helicopter Society (AHS), the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences (JSASS), and the Japan Helicopter Society, Dr. Li delivered a keynote speech on micro electric coaxial twin-rotor helicopters to aviation experts from around the globe at the '2002 AHS International Summit' in Utsunomiya, Japan. He also conducted a live flight demonstration.

Today, while electric quadcopters and coaxial twin-rotor helicopters are widely applied in many aspects of social activity, continuous improvement and optimization are still required to further unleash the unique capabilities of these aircraft. In 2014, Zhuhai NCA launched a development program for a new series of products, including the Long Endurance Coaxial Twin-Rotor UAV and the Electric Micro Coaxial Twin-Rotor Aerial Photography Aircraft.
