CH-5 UAV. Impressive payload |
"Several foreign nations have expressed intentions to purchase the CH-5, and we are in talks with them," said Shi Wen, chief designer of the Caihong, or Rainbow, at CAAA. Shi said the CH-5 is better than MQ-9 Reaper, a hunter-killer drone of the US, because it "can perform whatever operations the MQ-9 Reaper can, and is even better than the US vehicle when it comes to flight duration and operational efficiency," Shi said
It is made of composite materials and has a wingspan of 21 meters. Twice as big as its predecessors in the CH family, the drone can stay in the air for about 60 hours and operate at an altitude of up to 10 km, Shi said.
CH-5 UAV wingspan: 21 m, max take-off weight: 3.3 ton, max suspension weight: 1 ton |
Plan is obviously afoot to up CH-5's endurance from present day 40 hours to 100-120 hours. |
CH-5 or cloud shadow?
CAC Cloud Shadow is a jet-powered UCAV
