Chinese military officials are demonstrating a range of drones and other aerial vehicles at a recent trade show. These include the CH-805 training drone, the concept CK-20 stealth target drone, and the SW-6 small "marsupial" drone. They are both designed to carry out reconnaissance tasks. SW-6 is also a prime candidate to the China drone "swarm", which involves hundreds small drones linked together.
Caihong drones debut
Chinese military officials just deployed eight Wing Loong 2 long-endurance medium-altitude drones and Caihong 5, a pair of Wing Loong 2, at a mixed military-civilian aircraft in western China. This deployment is the first major Chinese drone deployment. The drones have a similar design to the U.S. MQ-9 Reaper. These drones could become future military assets. Here is a closer look at Caihong 5.
China and Islamic countries have been friends for many years and have enjoyed successful win-win collaboration. Their cooperation has resulted in a new model that allows for peaceful coexistence across cultures. Chinese Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation opened the first Middle East-based factory for state-owned drones. The factory will produce drones of the CH-4 and CH-5 types and other equipment. It will also provide after-sales support to the Middle East.
Yilong/Wing Loong LE380 sensor Turret
The first variant of the Wing Loong family, the Wing Loong I, flew on its maiden flight in October 2007. The device can carry up four kilograms of payload and can reach speeds of 200km. A sensor turret is installed under the nose to allow for easy targeting of its sensors and payload.
The Wing Loong is equipped with a camera along with a sensor tower. Its wing-shaped body and three-bladed propeller enable it to fly at speeds of up to 280km per hour. It can also fly up to five kilometers at maximum altitude. Without refueling, the Yilong can complete its mission in 20 hour. The Yilong can transmit data over line-of-sight distances of 200km and has a remarkable take-off roll distance of 600m, 800m, and landing roll distances of 600m.
Yilong/Wing Loong LE380 sensor
These drones are being developed by Chinese companies since many years. Their latest version, Wing Loong 1, was the first in a new series. The Wing Loong 1 can carry 200 kg and has a top speed 200 km/h. The Yilong/Wing Loong LE380 sensor is used to monitor the drones' surroundings. Drones can also be equipped with weapons.
The Wing Loong drones were designed for military and business use. China plans to sell drones to different countries. At the Beijing Aviation Exhibition, September 2015 saw the unveiling of Wing Loong II. More than 100 Wing Loong II drones have been sold. The Wing Loong family of drones is currently being used in several countries, including the UAE (Algeria, Egypt), Nigeria, Pakistan and Uzbekistan.
FAQ
Is Drones Prohibited?
The FAA has banned drones in areas near airports and stadiums. They allow them to fly at nights using GPS technology.
What drone is the best for beginners?
The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ is a popular beginner drone. The 4K camera on this model allows you to take stunning aerial photos and videos. This drone is easy to navigate thanks to its GPS system.
What is the difference between a quadcopter and a hexacopter?
A quadcopter, a four-rotor helicopter, flies just like a helicopter. It has four rotors that rotate independently. The hexacopter looks similar to a quadcopter, but it has six rotors rather than four. Hexacopters are more stable and maneuverable than quadcopters.
Is it necessary to have special training in order to fly a drone
No, you don’t need any special training in order to fly your drone. You only need a remote controller unit and basic knowledge about flight mechanics.
How do you travel with a drone?
Drones are becoming more and more popular for personal and professional use. They can be used for photography, filming and aerial mapping. Recent regulations regarding drones have been approved by FAA. They include new requirements for registration and licensing, pilot training, insurance, and other requirements. These modifications will ensure that drones remain safe and secure for all involved.

How To
What Is A Battery Pack, And How Do I Replace It?
The main power source for your drone's motors is the battery pack. They provide enough power to keep your quadcopter flying smoothly and safely.
The difference in the battery pack between a drone you already own and a new one that you purchase will not be noticeable. But, over time, your battery pack will slowly become worn down. Eventually, it might stop working altogether. You will need to replace the battery in your drone to ensure it continues to function properly.
It is best to replace a battery pack with the original part. Otherwise, you risk damaging your drone by installing a faulty battery pack.
These steps will help you replace your battery pack.
-
Disconnect your battery connector cable. This will ensure your drone doesn't get any electric current. To disconnect the battery connector cable, simply pull it away from the drone.
-
Unscrew the battery. Remove the battery pack from your quadcopter's bottom. The battery pack often splits into two pieces.
-
Locate the contacts of your battery. After you have removed the battery pack from the drone, locate the contacts. These small metal pins connect the battery to the rest of the components inside the drone.
-
Install the battery. Next, install the new battery into the drone. Next, align the battery connectors at the two ends of the battery pack. Push the battery pack onto your drone. Once this is done, tighten your bolts to secure the battery pack.
-
Reattach the battery connector cable. Connect the battery connector cable to your drone after installing the new battery pack.
-
Test the drone. Test the drone once more to make sure it is working correctly. Congratulations!
