The photos don't reveal much about China drones, but they do show many interesting facts. Find out more about Wing Loong 2, Caihong5, and many more. These drones are yours to choose whether you buy them. We'll also cover what to look for in the video. The most commonly used drones in commercial use are those listed above. However, what about the drones that haven’t yet been on the market?
Wing Loong 2
The Chengdu Wing Loong II is an unmanned, remotely controlled aerial vehicle designed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group in People's Republic of China. It is also known as GJ-2. The Chengdu Wing Loong II can also be used in civilian applications. It has won many awards, including being the first civilian drone with an international patent.
Wing Loong can maintain airborne flight for up to 20 hour and can reach speeds of 370kph. Its flight endurance is listed at 27 hours, although the Chinese company did not provide the number of flights it completed during testing. Aside from military applications, the Wing Loong 2 can also be used for civilian purposes such as aerial photography, video production, or even as a surveillance tool. China doesn't advertise its military capabilities publically.
Caihong 5
China is quickly becoming a major supplier of strike capable UAVs. China sold 181 drones in 13 countries from 2008 to 2018. More than three-quarters were strike-capable systems. In the same period, the Wing Loong series, and the popular Caihong series, accounted for 35.4% and 53.6%, respectively. The new CH-5 will likely continue this trend to challenge the UAVs in the United States of America and Israel.
Caihong 5 features a radome nose, upward-pointing Vtail and a radome tail. The Caihong 5 can fly at a height of 9,000m, which is compared to the 7,200-meter range for the gasoline-powered piston engine variant. Additionally, the heavy fuel engine has a reduced fuel consumption of about 20% making it more affordable to operate. The Caihong 5 is the heaviest drone ever produced by China.
Wing Loong 1E
Wing-Loong-1E (a multi-purpose strike-capable UAV capable of performing multiple purposes) is the latest addition to the Wing Loong Family of large unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs). It was recently flown its maiden flight. Although AVIC did no release technical details, a prototype has been demonstrated at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition. It features a unique aerodynamic design and upward-pointing winglets.
The Wing Loong-1E China drone was made in Chengdu in Sichuan. This facility specializes in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and it is an indication that China is looking to produce its own drones. The Wing Loong 1E is smaller than its predecessor, but it is expected to be more durable due to composite materials and improved aerodynamics. The new drone is expected to have an increased range, endurance, and efficiency.
Wing Loong II
According to rumors, the Wing Loong II Chinese UAV could replace the MQ-1 Predator from the Middle East. According to the company, the country expressed an interest in purchasing 300 unmanned aircraft. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are also interested in the Chinese drone. They have already agreed to produce 48 units together. Before these nations buy a Wing Loong II, however, it's important to evaluate its suitability for military purposes.
The Wing Loong II, a better version of the original, is more advanced. The newer model can carry up to twelve air-to-surface missiles. The Wing Loong II was introduced to the PLAAF in November 2018, and is the second model in the Wing Loong series. It's an upgraded variant on the Wing Loong and has already entered service with China’s military. Although both the GJ-2 & Wing Loong II share similar capabilities, the Wing Loong II offers a wider platform.
