Chinese UAV News & Discussions (Strictly)

. .
The new unmanned aircraft named Skyhawk has actually conducted three test flights in about 40 days, CASIC said Sunday on its WeChat public account

Any hints, what kind of a drone Skyhawk and its engine is ? :buba_phone:

“据悉,这是31所在完成初始飞行前规定试验和全空域高空台性能试验后,取得的又一个重大技术突破,成为我国首台“飞上”蓝天的1000公斤推力量级涡扇发动机。”

The mother of all Chinese flywings has reached an important milestone in its progression toward maiden flight.


... ooohhh ! ... and my impatience will kill me some day.

So, its probably bigger aircraft, than the Star Shadow ?

Maybe something between Star Shadow and Sharp Sword , with more payload, than 400 kg ( said SS payload)

Star shadow UAV will install 2 X 1000 kg turbofan engines. I do not think Sky Hawk UAV has three engines.

if thats the case they both have same-similar powerpacks. But, maybe purpose of two types differ

2018 - 2019 could be promotion years of chinese jet drones. But , in any case it seems, for an jet UCAV, payload around a ton at least is desirable. SS is sweet, but its payload weight , overlaps with CH5/ WL II ones

China does not have turbofan engine like PW-500 series.

China tests solar-powered ATTACK DRONE that flies non-stop for WEEKS in near SPACE
CHINA has flexed its military might by test-firing missiles from a powerful new solar-powered drone on the edge of the Earth's atmosphere.

BREAKTHROUGH: The Chinese military has carried out missile trials from a drone in near space

The high-tech CH-4 Rainbow drone carried out dramatic live-fire weapons trials in extreme weather conditions, according to the Chinese media.

The drone represents a major step for China as it can fly at extremely high altitudes for more than 12 hours straight — and is armed to the teeth.

Over six days of tests in so-called "near space" the drone flew for 15 hours 20km above sea level


Near space describes the region roughly 18 and 100km above the ground.

At 100km is the Karman Line — which represents the bridge between the Earth's atmosphere and outer space.

According to experts, the aim of the drone is to reach altitudes of up to 65km and fly on journeys of up to weeks on end.

“Beijing has been able to produce drones at a much cheaper cost than the US”

Expert Ben Moores
Chinese media states that this was the first time that the drone has fired weapons.

It is built to shoot 50kg cluster bombs and a vast array of guided missiles.

But there are fears that the drone could be hacked by enemies to throw off its guided munitions, or that it could be affected by extreme weather conditions.

Again as in the other threads, but this is a pure provocative thread without any meaningful content especially since we have a dedicated UAV-thread and you were called from several moderators - not only me - to take a look in advance.

That's either plain stupid or some sort of trolling and exactly as such it will be rated from now on. :hitwall:

"New Skyhawk" with near-space reconnaissance capability etc, niubiah :enjoy:

我首型隐身长航时无人机首飞

科技日报北京2月13日电 (殷志宏 王文娟 记者付毅飞)记者13日从中国航天科工三院302所获悉,我国首型真正意义的隐身长航时无人机“新天鹰”,近日以完美表现完成了首飞及性能验证飞行试验。我国也成为全世界第二个具备该类型无人机研制能力的国家。

由于技术难度高、投资规模大,此前只有美国具备隐身长航时无人机研制能力,俄罗斯及欧洲还在开展技术攻关,尚未取得突破。302所作为航天科工集团无人机技术研究和推动产业化发展总体单位,采用航空、航天技术融合发展模式,将多项具有国际领先水平的航天技术融合应用在“新天鹰”无人机研发中,自主掌握全部知识产权,实现关键技术快速突破,并完成地面试验、飞行试验集成验证,在我国无人机领域发展过程中具有重要里程碑意义。

据介绍,“新天鹰”无人机采用高气动效率布局,续航时间长、载荷比能力高,飞行效率与干线客机相当;采用多种先进隐身技术,具有临空侦察能力;采用全自主控制技术,能够全自主起降和飞行,并能根据传感器信息自主检测飞机状态,进行系统容错与重构,完成特情处理。此外,该无人机以大数据为基础,建立了完整的分析—设计—评价—验证技术体系,在成功解决非常规布局控制难题的同时,具备了精确跟踪、稳定控制、自抗扰等高品质飞行能力。
