At a recent trade fair, Chinese military officials demonstrated a variety of drones and other aerial vehicles. These include the CH-805 small "marsupial", the concept CK-20 stealth-target drone, and SW-6 training drone. Both are intended to perform reconnaissance tasks. SW-6 is also thought to be a prime candidate for China's drone "swarm", which involves hundreds linked together drones.
Caihong drones debut
Chinese military officials have recently deployed eight Wing Loong 2 (long-endurance, medium altitude) and Caihong 5 (long-endurance, medium-altitude) drones at a mixed military/civilian airfield in western China. This is the first major deployment of Chinese drones. These drones look similar to the U.S. MQ-9 Reaper, and could be used as future military assets. Here's a close-up look at Caihong 5.
China and Islamic nations have been long friends and have had successful win-win partnerships. They have created a new model of peaceful coexistence between different cultures through their cooperation. Chinese Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation now has its first Middle East plant to produce state-owned drones. The factory will make the CH-4/CH-5 drones, as well the equipment. It will also enhance the after-sales services in 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 transport up to four kg of payload. It can also reach speeds of up to 200 km. Its sensors are visible from the nose and can be targeted using a sensor turbine.
The Wing Loong has a camera and sensor turret. The Wing Loong can fly at speeds of up 280km/h due to its wing-shaped structure and three-bladed propeller. It can also reach maximum altitudes of five kilometers. The Yilong can go without fuel for up to 20 hours. 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
For many years, these drones have been being developed by Chinese companies. Their latest version, the Wing Loong, is the first in a new family. The Wing Loong 1 has a payload capacity of 200 kilograms and a top speed of 200 km/h. The Yilong/Wing Loong LE380 sensor allows drones to monitor their environment. They can also carry weapons.
The Wing Loong drone was developed for military and commercial use. China plans to sell the drones to different countries. The Wing Loong II drone was first unveiled at the Beijing Aviation Exhibition in September 2015. More than 100 Wing Loong drones were sold since then. Currently, the Wing Loong family is in use in a number of countries, including the UAE, Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan.

How To
How to Choose the Best Drone for Photography
We will show you how to choose the best drone for your needs. This article will discuss the features that you should consider when choosing a drone.
First, let's look at some general guidelines for choosing a drone that you can use for your own purposes.
It is important to measure the product's size before purchasing any type of product. If you're going to take photos from above, then you'll probably find that a larger-sized camera is easier to control than one that's smaller. This is especially true when you're just starting out as a pilot. You don’t want to get into any trouble simply because you were afraid to go higher.
Second, be sure to check the quality and size of the sensor. The higher the sensor size, the better images you can capture.
A remote controller might be worth your consideration. They help you track where your drone is in space and make it much easier to fly.
The last thing you need to think about is whether you want to buy a fixed or mobile mount. A gimbal allows you to shoot stills while flying. It allows you to fly more freely and makes it easier for you to stay steady. These are more costly depending on what you want.
