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. Both drones are designed for reconnaissance. SW-6 is also considered a prime candidate for the China drone "swarm" project, which involves hundreds of small drones linked together.
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. The drones are similar in design to the U.S. MQ-9 Reaper. They are also potential future military assets. Here's a closer look at the Caihong 5.
China and Islamic countries have been friends for many years and have enjoyed successful win-win collaboration. Cooperation between the two countries has led to a new model for peaceful coexistence of cultures from different backgrounds. The Chinese Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is now opening its first factory in the Middle East to produce state-owned drones like the Caihong-4. The factory will manufacture the CH-4, CH-5 drones as well as associated equipment. This will increase after-sales services for the Middle East.
Yilong/Wing Loong LE380 sensor turbine
In October 2007, the Wing Loong I, the first variant of the Wing Loong Family, flew its maiden flight. The device can carry up to four kilograms of payload, and is capable of reaching a speed of 200 km. The sensors and payload of the device are easily visible. A sensor turret can be installed under your nose to target them.
The Wing Loong comes equipped with a camera, a sensor turret and a microphone. 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 an altitude of up to five kilometers. The Yilong can complete its mission for 20 hours without refueling. 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 have been developed by Chinese companies for many years. 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. To monitor their surroundings, the drones use the Yilong/Wing Loong LE380 sensors. The drones can also carry weapons.
The Wing Loong drones were designed for military and business use. China plans on selling the drones abroad. The Wing Loong II, also known as the Wing Loong II, was presented at Beijing Aviation Exhibition (September 2015). More than 100 Wing Loong II drones have been sold. The Wing Loong drones are currently being used in a variety of countries, including Uzbekistan and Algeria.
FAQ
What law applies to drones that fly over private property?
New rules were recently published by the FAA regarding commercial drone flights. These rules do not apply to UAVs under 55 pounds or flying at less than 400 feet above sea level. 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.
How do you travel with a drone?
Drones are becoming more and more popular for personal and professional use. They are used for video, filming aerial mapping, search &rescue, and many other purposes. A number of new regulations have been approved by the FAA for drones. These include registration, licensing, pilot training and insurance. These changes will help ensure that drones remain safe for everyone involved.
How do I keep drones away from my house?
Drones are becoming more popular for home security and surveillance. To avoid drone attacks, install motion sensors around the property. They will detect any unapproved flying objects.
Do I need any special training to fly drones?
You don't require any special training to fly your drone. A remote control unit is all you need. You also need to have some basic knowledge of flight mechanics.
What US states have drones made legal?
It is legal to operate a drone as a hobby. The Federal Aviation Administration has created guidelines to allow small unmanned aircraft system (UAS) use. These UASs have to be registered with FAA before they are allowed to fly. If certain conditions are met the FAA will allow commercial operators to fly these drones.
Can I fly my drone indoors?
Yes, it is possible to fly your drone indoors. It is important to make sure there are no hazards or obstacles in your home. You should not fly near windows, doors or heating vents.

How To
What is a "Battery Pack" and how can it be replaced?
A battery pack is what powers the motors of your drone. These packs provide enough power to keep your quadcopter in flight safely and smoothly.
The difference in the battery pack between a drone you already own and a new one that you purchase will not be noticeable. However, the battery pack will eventually wear 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 use the original component when replacing a batteries pack. A faulty battery pack could cause serious damage to your drone.
These are the steps you need to follow in order to replace a dead battery pack.
-
Disconnect the battery connector cable. This will ensure that your drone does not receive any current. You can remove the battery connector from the drone by pulling it out.
-
Unscrew your battery pack. Unscrew the battery pack from the bottom of your quadcopter. The battery pack will usually fall apart into two pieces.
-
Locate the battery contacts. Once you've removed the battery pack, look around for the battery contacts. These pins attach the battery to the other parts of the drone.
-
Next, attach the new battery. Next, you will need to install the battery into the drone. Align the connectors for the battery pack on each side. Next, insert the battery package onto the drone. Once done, tighten the bolts holding the battery pack in place.
-
Connect the battery connector cable again. Connect the battery connector cable to your drone after installing the new battery pack.
-
Make sure to test the drone. Test your drone before flying it again. If it does, congratulations!
