The first flight of the new Chinese unmanned aerial vehicle CETC CU42

As expected, as in a number of other countries, the People's Republic of China also embarked on the path of creating an unmanned version of the popular Austrian light aircraft Diamond DA42.



April 24, 2019 in the Chinese province of Anhui made its first flight of a new unmanned aerial vehicle CETC CU42.

The UAV was developed as part of a public-private partnership in the military-industrial complex at the Chinese-Austrian joint venture CETC Wuhu Diamond Aircraft Manufacture Co., Ltd. and is an unmanned version of the Austrian light multi-purpose aircraft Diamond DA42 Twin Star.

Amazing how much that UAV looks like a manned aircraft converted to an unmanned role... because it is.

The design this UAV is copied from is a New Zealand design aircraft used for top dressing and crop spraying... it is called a Fletcher and is designed to carry 1- 2 tons of chemicals and operate from short grass airstrips and fly very low and slow...

New Chinese Supersonic drone

It looks like a hypersonic one. But I can't see where the optics or weapons will be. Are you shure it isn't a missile ?

It's probably a recce drone. They're describing it as similar to the D-21

It was a target drone initially.

Some people suggest it is a hypersonic glider.

Supersonic reconnaissance high-altitude UAV WZ-8
which seems to be designed to launch from the H-6N missile carrier, since it has visible mounts from above.

New Chinese reconnaissance and strike drone GJ-11. Designed by Hongdu Aviation Corporation and built by AVIC State Aviation Corporation. The combat drone is designed according to the scheme of a flying wing.

Apparently so



One chinese source claims it has already flown a recon mission in the Pacific near Guam and it wasn't detected by the Americans

Demonstration of Chinese-made unmanned aerial vehicles

A satellite image of the PLA Malan Air Force Base (Ushshaktal) located in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China near Lake Bagrashköl showed an exhibition of various Chinese unmanned aerial vehicles. Probably adopted by the PLA in recent years, drones were put up for display to the country's leadership. At least here you can see well-known production cars, such as the Shendiao two-body UAV (“Shenyao”, which means “Divine Eagle”), the closed-wing UAV WZ-7 formerly known as Xianglong (“Xianglong” or “Hovering Dragon” "), strike UAVs GJ-1, GJ-2 (Gunji means" Attack "in translation), jet strike UAV GJ-11, jet UAV WZ-8, etc.

Pterodactyl II Chinese unmanned aerial vehicle in testing new weapons systems

The Chinese drone Wing Loong II, developed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (part of the AVIC Aviation Industry Corporation) in Chengdu, tested new weapons systems in the Gobi Desert.

The differences in the second drone modification from the first became a large take-off mass (4,200 vs. 1,100 kg), wingspan (20.5 vs. 14 meters), fuselage length (11 vs. 9.05 meters), height (4.1 vs. 2.7 meters), the maximum flight altitude (9,000 against 5,000 meters) as well as the flight duration (32 against 20 hours) and the maximum flight speed (340 against 280 km / h).

The first flight of the new Chinese heavy three-engine unmanned aerial vehicle

According to Chinese media, on January 16, 2020, a heavy three-engine unmanned aerial vehicle developed by the Chinese company Tengoen Technology made its first test flight at one of the airfields in southwest China.

The Chinese company Tengoen Technology (also known as Tengdun) was founded in 2016. The new unmanned aerial vehicle is a three-engine UAV built on a two-fuselage scheme. Its wingspan is 20 m, length - 10, height - 3.3 m. The maximum take-off weight reaches 3200 kg, with a payload mass exceeding one and a half tons. The maximum ceiling is 9.5 km, cruising speed is more than 300 km per hour, and the flight duration is 35 hours. The drone was originally designed for civilian use (aerial photography, atmospheric research, pipeline inspection, cargo delivery, and even sports photography). But it is possible to use it for military purposes.

The new drone can take off with maximum load from the runway less than 500 meters long.

Previously, Tengoen Technolog mass-produced the heavy UAV TB-001 Scorpion
