Although you can't see much about China drones in the photos, there are plenty of interesting options. 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. These are the most popular drones for commercial use. But what about the ones that haven't been seen on the market yet?
Wing Loong 2
The Chengdu Wing Loong II (GJ-2) is a remotely controlled and autonomous flight unmanned aerial vehicle developed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group in People's Republic of China. It is classified as GJ-2 in the military. 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.
The Wing Loong has a top speed of 370 kph and can remain airborne for up to 20 hours. Its flight endurance has been listed at 27 hours. However the Chinese company failed to provide any details regarding the number and duration of the flights. 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 rising to be a major supplier of UAVs with strike capability. China has sold 181 drones, more than three-quarters of which are strike-capable, to 13 countries between 2008 and 2018. The Wing Loong series and popular Caihong range accounted respectively for 35.4% & 53.6%. The new CH-5 is expected to continue this trend and take on the UAVs of the United States and Israel.
The Caihong 5, which is a 5-foot-long, has a radome nose with an upward-pointing V tail. It can fly at an altitude of 9,000 meters, compared with the 7,200-meter range of the gasoline-powered piston-engine variant. The heavy fuel engine also reduces fuel consumption by about 20%, making it more cost-effective to operate. China's Caihong 5, the most powerful drone, is now available.
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 has not released any specific details, a prototype was shown at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition in 2010. It features a unique aerodynamic design and upward-pointing winglets.
The Wing Loong-1E China drone has been manufactured in Chengdu (a city in Sichuan). This center specializes in unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs), which is an indicator that China is trying to make its own drones. Although the Wing Loong 1E is smaller in size than its predecessor, it is expected that it will be stronger and more durable thanks to composite materials as well as improved aerodynamics. The new drone will be capable of greater range, endurance, as well as efficiency.
Wing Loong II
Rumours suggest that the Wing Loong II, a Chinese UAV, could be the next contender for the MQ-1 Predator's role in the Middle East. The country recently expressed interest in purchasing 300 of the unmanned aircraft, according to the company. Other countries that have expressed interest include Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, who have agreed to jointly produce 48 units of the Chinese drone. It is essential that these nations determine whether the Wing Loong II is suitable for military use before they purchase one.
The Wing Loong II, a better version of the original, is more advanced. The newer model can carry 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. This upgraded version of the Wing Loong has been in service with China's military. Both the GJ-2 and the Wing Loong II have similar capabilities, but the Wing Loong II has a larger platform.
