Thank you, cirr boy

Is core principle in this swarm mechanism, classified matter ? If the core problems are solved, contemporaries are maybe 2-3 years away from big drone swarm attack against land bases and ships. RIP to the american task forces in the ocean around China

AI is the most challenging part of such a system. The team in the news is an AI research team.

CASIC is allegedly developing a Waverider-like vehicle with a scramjet engine, dubbed Project 0901.

@星海军事 Any idea what this is and if it has been flight tested?

Created by your truly, of course.

Is this the same vehicle as the Waverider-type UAV that was tested in 2011? At this point, it seems that there are possibly three (?) scramjet demonstrators built by the Chinese: (1) Project 0901 from CASIC, (2) the Mach 4.5-capable scramjet developed by Tan Yonghua, and (3) the HiFIRE-type that was tested in December 2015.

Are some of these the same system?

 

[星海军事]

Nope. There are numerous projects, including HGVs, scramjets as well as combined cycle engines, under “Major Project 16”. Most of them are meant for experiment while others have “background models”.

This one looks painted grey ??

 

[cirr]

this year will see the completion of all test flights for Wing Loong-1D.

Wing Loong-III will be released onto the market within 3 years.

Any info already on WL III available? Will it be yet another evolution or more a revolution ?

 

[zestokryl]

WL 1D was mentionted at the air expo. Remember this through @cirr s post

Fully composite fuselage and increased payload

Maybe fuselage is also enlarged and engine has more HP, but this is just a wild guess

"航空工业成都飞机设计研究所所长季晓光现场透露，未来五年翼龙I和翼龙II的年产量将达到30架，实现产值150亿。今年翼龙ID将实现科研试飞。翼龙III预计在三年内投放市场。"

"Ji Xiaoguang, the AVIC Chengdu aircraft design institute director, said the annual output of WingLoong 1 & 2 will reach 30 in the next 5 year, and production value reach 15 billion. WingLoog 1D will make maiden fly in this year. WingLoog 3 will be launched over the next three years."
