A new family of unmanned aerial vehicles has been recently showcased in China. Chinese research and production company Tengoen Technology unveiled two fixed-wing
UAVs – the TA001 “Striking Hawk” and the TB001 “Twin Tailed Scorpion” – and two rotary wing (VTOL)
UAVs called the HA001 “Featherless Arrow” and the HB002 “Xiao Li Guang.”
The “Twin Tailed Scorpion” is of particular interest, since it is a twin propeller-driven Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE)
UAV. This armed reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (
UAV) has just made its maiden flight, according to janes.com.
Three prototypes of this aircraft are under construction. The TB001 has a wingspan of 20 meters/65.6 feet; a maximum takeoff weight (mtow) of 2,800 kg/5,952 pounds; and an operating ceiling at 8,077 meters/26,250 feet. The endurance is 35 hours and the mission radius is 280 km/151 nm with line-of-sight communications links and more than 3,000 km/1,620 nm using satellite communications. The TB001 can also be armed with the FT-8D, FT-9 and FT-10D air-to ground missiles, as well as the FT-7 glide bomb.
According to.ainonline.com, the other fixed wing
UAV, the single-engine TA 001, has an MTOW of 1,200 kg/2,646 pounds, and an endurance of 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the HA001 and HB001 have an mtow of 450 kg/992 pounds and 280 kg/617 pounds with endurance of six hours and five hours, respectively.
According to the company, both can carry weapons. These
UAV can be used for reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, material supply and border patrol missions.
Tengoen Technology was formed in January 2016 by Chinese aviation technology firms and a state-owned investment company.
