"Sky Eagle" stealth UAV, is "China's new stealth flying wing UAV", but also by the development of anti-ship missiles and cruise missiles of the "303 Institute of Aerospace Science and Industry Third Academy" with the research of missiles accumulated rich experience in "fluid aerodynamics", it took 4 years to successfully develop a jet power reconnaissance UAV, it has a long endurance, high intelligence, high stealth, high precision, fully autonomous, low cost, large combat radius and other characteristics, began to develop in 2014, the first flight in November 2017 was successful.
According to public information, the Skyhawk UAV is equipped with a single-engine new turbofan engine, and its fuselage length is about 35 meters, wingspan of about 10 meters, maximum take-off weight of 3 tons, bomb load of about 500 kg, it is a stealth UAV with a fuselage and wings, no vertical tail and flat tail, its air intake is located above the nose, the lower part of the fuselage has no cavity, the belly is equipped with a built-in magazine, there are launch hardpoints under the wings, various reconnaissance pods can be mounted, and air-to-ground missiles can be carried out aiming strikes if necessary. The entire fuselage is covered with composite materials and special coatings, which also significantly reduces the radar firing area of the fuselage and makes it difficult to detect by the enemy. Its performance and size are very suitable for equipping on large surface ships such as aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, and 10,000-ton destroyers of the Chinese Navy.
In fact, China has already overcome various difficulties in the field of UAVs, whether it is the development or production system has long been far ahead, many ** whether it is finalized, installed, used, but the confidentiality work is very good, inconvenient to display. It can be said that the back garden of the flower grower is complete, equipped with different aerodynamic layouts, different engines, different sizes, different types, and there are many kinds just by making it public.
These include: Attack 11, No Detection 8, Rainbow 7, Sword, Skyhawk, Falcon, Mingdi, Twin-tailed Scorpion, Wyvern-2, Wyvern-71, Feihong-97A, etc., all of which are just too advanced to show.
