The mass-production model of China's unmanned aerial vehicle CH-5, or "Rainbow 5", completed its trial flight in north China's Hebei Province Friday.
Introduced at an international airshow in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai last year, the CH-5 can conduct reconnaissance, surveillance, patrol, target positioning and strike missions, according to its developer.
"We've made several modifications after its debut, and its comprehensive functions are among the world's best," said Shi Wen, chief engineer of the Rainbow drone project at the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics.
The CH-5 has a wingspan of 21 meters and is capable of carrying up to 1,000 kg of equipment. It can stay in the air for 60 hours with a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, Shi said
The CH-5 can also be used for civilian purposes such as resource surveying, marine environmental protection, disaster survey, marine law enforcement and emergency responses, Shi said.
"We will conduct more trial flights and might add fine changes to meet needs of various customers. We believe it will be a success in domestic and international markets," he added.

Th interesting details are of course always in report in Chinese:
[量产型彩虹五无人机首飞成功]14日下午，翼展21米、一身灰色的量产型彩虹五无人机在河北某机场跑道上滑行起飞，成功完成首次试飞。
这标志着自2016年珠海航展上首次亮相后，我国自主研发的中高端大型“察打一体”无人机彩虹五正式进入批量生产阶段，为后续产品交付和合同签订奠定了良好基础。（新华社记者白国龙）
新闻延伸：“彩虹五号”属于中低空长航时无人机，可以执行侦察和打击任务，全身采用复合材料制成，翼展超过20米，可以在空中巡航超过30小时，起飞重量可达3吨，具有900公斤左右的载重能力，这些技术性能使它具有更强的作战能力。航天科技集团十一院十一部总体室主任兰文博介绍称，这些任务载荷可以将侦察范围从原来的二三十公里提升到80公里，可以在一个较远的距离发现目标、攻击目标，让自己远离危险源。
据了解，在中低空长航时无人机领域，最大起飞重量一般在1.5吨以下，目前国际上仅有“捕食者B”系列无人机和“彩虹五号”属于同一量级。除了军事用途以外，“彩虹五号”还可以在广阔的国土资源勘测和海上巡逻搜救方面发挥巨大作用。
专家表示，“彩虹五号”体型的量变未来可能带来作战模式质的变化。据报道，“彩虹五号”相比“彩虹四号”的装载能力提高了2.5倍，除在机翼下方可以装载更多弹药，更大变化在于机头的那个“大脑袋”，由于空间更加富余，研制人员可在里面安装更加先进的雷达，甚至可以安装一部透视雷达。欧忠明表示，这将改变未来反恐作战的方式。恐怖分子藏身在树丛或房屋里，要对其进行打击，首先需要穿透墙体对里面的人员进行确认，这就需要无人机具有更先进的任务载荷。据报道，目前，无人机在执行这类任务时，依然需要依靠地面侦察人员的情报，一旦有了透视雷达，“彩虹五号”就可以自己探测确认了。此外，“彩虹五号”还可以搭载通讯指挥设备，和其他无人机共同编组，成为机群的指挥官。兰文博介绍称，由于“彩虹五号”运载能力比较强，可以搭载一个卫星通讯设备，与“彩虹四号”或“彩虹三号”进行编队出击，地面控制站可以通过“彩虹五号”向“彩虹四号”和“彩虹三号”发送指令，大幅提升无人机的作战性能。它还可以搭载一些电子战设备，对地面的雷达通讯节点进行压制，可对编队内的其他无人机进行保护。
The drone's 1-metric-ton payload capacity enables it to bring as many as 24 missiles on a single mission, strong enough to take out a convoy of armored vehicles.
The unmanned aircraft is also able to carry an airborne early warning system to act as a platform for regional surveillance and battlefield command and control. It also can carry electronic warfare instruments to collect electronic intelligence and to jam enemy communications or radar.
Moreover, the CH-5 can detect underwater targets such as submarines when mounted with certain devices, Shi said.
The CH-5 can also use high-resolution cameras, radar and radio transmitters to serve a wide range of civilian and public sectors.

Not look impressive at all, it's too classic.

This is perfect to use at the Tibetan border.
If someone remembers CH 5 actually had maiden flight in september of 2015. But, then it had different form of nose section. CH 5 in current form was displayed at the air show. Probably not only nose section, but the whole fuselage was reengineered

So this is the 2nd large solar-powered drone in development - this time by CASIC
Company developing a solar-powered drone
2017-07-21 10:10
China DailyEditor: Li Yahui
Craft would be capable of staying airborne for a week, developer says
China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, the nation's largest missile-maker, is developing a solar-powered unmanned aircraft capable of staying in the sky for a week.
The drone, which has yet to be named, will look much like a conventional fixed-wing plane and will be propelled by an electric motor and solar batteries. It will be able to operate for a week at an altitude of more than 20,000 meters, Ma Hongzhong, director of CASIC's Unmanned Aircraft Institute, said in an interview on Thursday.
The drone's wingspan will be about 25 meters and its maximum takeoff weight will be around 200 kilograms, he said, adding that the drone's first flight will be made soon.
Development started two years ago－a joint effort of Ma's institute and a research team from Europe, he said. He declined to provide details about the European partner.
"We are working with the European team to develop technologies and equipment for the plane. After the development is finished, my institute will be responsible for its marketing and sales," Ma said, adding that the State Oceanic Administration and the China Meteorological Administration have agreed to employ the aircraft for maritime emergency response and typhoon forecasting.
In the future, the drone will also be tasked with relaying communication signals and locating mineral resources because of its extended flight endurance at high altitude, he said.
Experts said there are no clouds at 20,000 meters or higher and the air at that altitude is stable, so the drone can take full advantage of its solar cells. As long as the solar power system works well, the aircraft can stay in the air as long as the controllers wish.
Ma said the institute plans to develop a series of solar-powered drones based on the first design. Future models will be larger and be capable staying airborne for a month, he said.
The China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics in Beijing has also developed a large solar-powered drone and is flight-testing it.
The United States and United Kingdom have already developed solar-powered drones capable of flying as high as 20,000 meters. The altitude record for such aircraft－29,524 meters－was set by the Helios Prototype developed by AeroVironment Inc in California, in August 2001.
