Militaire UAV 2011 03 10 UAV Pterosaur
Anybody missing General Atomics' retiring Predator family of unmanned air vehicles might find solace in a UAV from AVIC. Chinese Pterodactyl UAV looks a lot like the GA-ASI Reaper MQ9. Appears to have a satellite dish for communications, as well as weapons and a fairly sophisticated GCS. The Chinese aerospace corporation is displaying a small model of the distinctly Predator-like Wing-Loong, which it describes as a medium-altitude, long-endurance (MALE) vehicle with autonomous take-off and landing capability and the ability to carry "small-sized air-to-ground strike weapons" at the Paris Air Show. The Wing-Loong is within a few millimetres in any direction of the Predator A. It has a 14m (46ft) wingspan, 9m length and a maximum take-off weight of 1,100kg (2,420lb), but it boasts the good looks of the larger Predator B's V-shaped rear end. It has ceiling of 16,400ft and a range of 2,160nm (4,000km), said AVIC.
