While the photos can't show much about China's drones, they are worth looking at. Read on to learn more about the Wing Loong 2, Caihong 5, and more. You will ultimately decide whether to buy these drones. In this video, we will also show you what to look for. The drones listed above are the most common types in commercial use. But what about the ones that haven't been seen on the market yet?
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. Its military designation is GJ-2. The Chengdu Wing Loong II was used in military trials as well as civilian applications. It was awarded many awards since its inception, including an international patent for the first civilian drone.
Wing Loong can fly for up to 20 hours at a speed of 370 km/h. The Wing Loong's flight endurance is listed as 27 hours. However, the Chinese company did no provide information about how many flights it had completed during testing. The Wing Loong 2 is not only suitable for military purposes, but can also be used to capture aerial photos, film, and even as surveillance tools. China doesn't make public its military capabilities.
Caihong 5
China is fast becoming a major supplier UAVs capable of striking. China sold 181 drones between 2008-2018 to 13 countries, with more than three quarters being strike-capable. The popular Wing Loong series and the Caihong series accounted for respective 35.4% and 53.6% of the total. The new CH-5 is expected continue this trend, and to take on UAVs of Israel and the United States.
Caihong 5 features a radome nose, upward-pointing Vtail and a radome tail. The Caihong 5 is capable of flying at a height greater than that of the gasoline-powered piston engines, which can reach 7,200 meters. Additionally, the heavy fuel engine has a reduced fuel consumption of about 20% making it more affordable to operate. China's Caihong5 drone is the most heavy ever built.
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 didn't release any technical information, a prototype of the Wing-Loong-1E was displayed at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition 2010. It has an unique aerodynamic design, and upward-pointing bladelets.
The Wing Loong-1E China new drone is manufactured in Chengdu, Sichuan province. This facility is known for producing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), so it's a clear indication that China wants to manufacture its own drones. Although it is smaller than the predecessor Wing Loong 1E, it is expected be more durable and aerodynamically better. 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 has expressed interest in purchasing 300 aircraft unmanned. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have both expressed an interest, agreeing to jointly produce 48 units. But, before these countries buy Wing Loong IIs, it's crucial to verify its suitability to be used for military purposes.
The Wing Loong II, a better version of the original, is more advanced. The newer model is capable of carrying up to twelve air–to-surface missiles. The Wing Loong II, the second model of the Wing Loong series, was introduced to the PLAAF on November 2018. It is an upgraded Wing Loong II variant that has been used in China's military. The Wing Loong II and the GJ-2 have similar capabilities. However, the Wing Loong II is more powerful.
FAQ
Is Drone Use Banned in Your Country?
The FAA bans drones flying in restricted areas such as airports, stadiums or sporting events, nuclear power stations, hospitals, prisons, and other sensitive areas. They do allow drones to fly at night with GPS technology.
What is the difference of a quadcopter and an hexacopter, you ask?
A quadcopter is an four-rotor helicopter which flies in the same manner as a conventional helicopter. The quadcopter has four independent rotors. The hexacopter looks similar to a quadcopter, but it has six rotors rather than four. Hexacopters are stabler and more maneuverable than quadcopters.
What laws apply to drones flying above private property?
New rules were recently published by the FAA regarding commercial drone flights. These rules are only applicable to UAVs that weigh less than 55 pounds and fly below 400 feet above ground. Commercial operators must register with FAA to receive a license. Local authorities must also approve them if they are operating near airports or in other restricted areas.
