China's answer to RQ-4 Global Hawk

[S10]

So the original one has been cancelled?

Yes, it's no longer the same design.

China has two of these projects: the Shenyang Dark Sword and the Shenyang Combat Eagle.

The Shenyang Combat Eagle stealthy strike UCAV is supposedly set to be revealed this year.

According to pupu and huzhigeng, dark sword is an abandoned concept that were meant for demonstration at the airshow only.

It is a very good achievement by CHINA...My only question is why always Chinese Product look like someone else.

Why do all airplanes have wings? Clearly they are copying from birds.

So, the Dark Sword is no longer in development?

So, China's only heavy stealthy UCAV is the Combat Eagle?

 

[muse]

Friends of course realize that it's not the electro-optics, the engine or the fire control of the UAV and UCAV that is important - it's the Satellite guidance command and control, we look forward to the full confident use of the Chinese satellite system by the military.

So, the Dark Sword is no longer in development?

So, China's only heavy stealthy UCAV is the Combat Eagle?

If that's the case, hope the EU's export ban to China is lifted so China can buy France's Neuron UCAV or Britain's Taranis UCAV.

 

[houshanghai]

rest assured!The investment in chinese UCAV project are not less than chinese 5 gen fighter project now.
we need not buy any France's or Britain's UCAV in the future. They will not ,of course, sell us any advanced UCAV in the future.so china have only our own developing UCAV.

设计无小事
——记中航起落架公司工程技术中心优秀党员王小峰

阳光、健康、自信，而略有一点内敛的气质，这是很多人对中航起落架工程技术中心设计员王小峰的第一感觉。近年来，年仅32岁的他数次被公司党委授予“优秀党员”荣誉称号，参与了多项专利申报，设计科研成果屡次获得表彰。从刚起步时的稚嫩懵懂，到今天的沉着稳健，处理问题有条不紊，是什么让他成长起来的呢？

“设计无小事！”王小峰自己这样解释到——搞科研的路很苦，既要耐得青灯黄卷的寂寞，又要忍受功败垂成的失落，只有事事皆尽心，才能有所斩获，推陈出新。投身航空业以来，他始终拿这句话激励自己，通过参与公司多个项目起落架的研制，他在工作中刻苦钻研专业技术，在学习中熟悉和掌握起落架型号研制过程，不断提高自身的技术水平，并结合工作实际，提出了一系列新的设计理念，积累了丰富的实践经验；在日常工作和技术管理上熟悉业务，处理问题反应敏捷、及时准确，在科研研究上善于钻研，不断创新，充分享受突破自我带来的乐趣。

作为一名技术带头人，王小峰主要负责起落架方案设计及四性设计等工作，同时兼顾产品的详细设计。在C919大客机起落架研制中，他负责规划总体系统设计、载荷强度和可靠性、适航等工作重点，提出的设计理念和设计方法得到了商飞和利勃海尔等合作商的肯定。近年还完成了重点型研仿、舱门机构及蛟龙600前、主起落架的方案设计工作，特别是在进行蛟龙600飞机主起落架方案设计时更是克服了种种困难，此型号飞机起落架要实现水上起飞、着水及陆地上的正常起飞着陆，船体比较高，主起落架布置在机身上，主轮距较小，并要求收到机身收放舱内时不破坏船体。因此主起落架收放是一个难点，常规的起落架收放原理不能满足该机的收放要求。刚接到这项任务时，他查阅了国内外相关飞机的一些资料，但得到的相关信息很少，受到的启发不大。面临困难，他对该型号起落架收放设计进行了大量基础理论研究，提出了新的收放思想。在领导同事们的合作下，通过五轮方案设计，终于实现了通过空间收放机构完成主起落架的收放机构设计，保证了主机所的研制进度，得到了主机单位的认可和好评。

航空产品研发的过程不仅复杂，而且有不可预知性，即使为此放弃假日，放弃休息，某些“深藏不露”的技术问题照样难以拍板。重点型无人机舱门收放机构设计是设计所面临的又一道难题，该机型为飞翼型飞机，本身起落架收容舱就较小，导致舱门收放机构的布置空间紧张。首次设计，面临着缺乏经验，缺乏气动方面的专业知识积累以及收放机构的杆件布置等重重障碍。小小的舱门要实现联动，而且连杆要实现有效传动比，同时收藏空间的间隙较小，几方面的矛盾集中在一起，着实让王小峰头疼了很长时间。那段日子里，他几乎每晚都和设计所的同事们在一起进行新方案商讨、结构设计以及虚拟试验等工作。作为项目负责人，他带领项目组集中力量寻找解决问题的突破口，查阅了大量的舱门设计资料，通过理论计算支持结构设计，循序渐进，在所领导的指导和帮助下，硬是啃下了这根骨头，顺利通过了该项目方案评审，转入详细设计阶段。

多年来，王小峰作为设计所的一员承担和参与了公司的一些重大科研、技术攻关项目，“苦心人，天不负”，他和他的项目团队一起经受着一场场“攻坚战”的磨练，一起分享一次次成功的喜悦，他们将继续秉承不畏艰难、勇于创新的精神与毅力，不断充实自己，提升综合素质与能力，更好的发挥团队力量，为科研加油，为生产助力，为起落架公司科研技术水平提升发光发热！

翔龙是成飞的实习生搞的。作为毕业生实习产物，性能和捕食者还是有较大差距的

Don't you ever keep updated?

China has its own stealthy UCAV (called the Combat Eagle) in development, with maiden flight either this year or next year. It has forward swept wings, so I have no doubt that its maneuverability will be much higher than that of the nEUROn, Taranis, X-47B, or Skat.

Combat Eagle UCAV model:

 

[no_name]

These are UCAV.however XIANGLONG (Soar Dragon)is a high altitude/long distance reconnaissance UAV.
china have several UCAV projects too.sac jxx is just one of the chinese ucav in future.

You missed the point. I think these pics are a reply to shree835's comment about chinese having look-alikes.

 

[lawxx]

On June 29, the aircraft industry to fly with your flying in the aircraft industry jointly developed the "Grand" unmanned aerial vehicles for the first time exposure. "Grand" unmanned aerial vehicles developed by China itself is a large unmanned aerial vehicles, and the U.S. "Global Hawk" unmanned aerial vehicles similar functions.

because you are ignorant``sorry mate

 

[houshanghai]

french unmanned fighter Neuron

British unmanned fighter Taranis

yankees unmanned fighter x-47b

omg,sorry,gagaga ,bro Please forgive me for misunderstanding you.

btw,Thank no name for reminding me

 

[Penguin]

Thunderbird-2 is go!

 

[houshanghai]

This isn't China's only Global Hawk type aircraft.

The one you posted in the thread can also carry air to ground munitions.

There is also the original Xiang Long (an armed version also exist):

imo, the pic should not be original XIANGLONG (Soar Dragon) uav.the bird should be 'long-distance hawk 'uav.

 

[mhb56]

Can China DF-21d or it's future UAV/UCAVs be a real threat when we can effectively put them at risk before they can even reach the upper atmosphere? Well, it' probable!
