The reporter learned from China Aviation Industry Corporation that China ’s first fully composite multi-purpose drone, the Yilong I-D drone, made its first flight at a western airport on the 23rd. Pterosaur ID drones have adopted a full composite structure and other measures, which have greatly improved takeoff weight, ceiling, flight time, communication, etc., and can be used in information acquisition, surveillance, reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, border patrol, anti-drug and Anti-smuggling and other security areas.
At 16:32 on the 23rd, with the on-site flight commander Li Shaohua issuing a "fly" command, the pterosaur ID drone began to roll and accelerate, straight into the sky with a healthy posture, flying for 30 minutes in the air, and successfully completed as planned. First flight mission.
Drone technology has been an area that has received close attention from countries around the world. In recent years, China's aviation industry has seized the opportunity of global drone development to enter a new era of innovation, and promoted independent innovation and systematic development of the drone industry with advanced research and development technologies and industrial advantages. Among them, the pterosaur series drones are the "fist products" of the aviation industry, and have gradually grown into a banner of "made in China" in the international drone market.
According to reports, the pterosaur ID drone system that just flew successfully for the first time is a fully composite material structure, high performance, hollow long-term flight time, developed based on mature pterosaur series drone systems based on customer needs. Multipurpose drone system. By adopting all-composite structure, optimizing aerodynamic layout, and replacing high-power engines, its performance has been greatly improved. In terms of reconnaissance, Pterodactyl I-D UAVs use high-definition photoelectric pods (EO) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) as basic mission load configurations, and can be equipped with communication reconnaissance or electronic reconnaissance equipment according to user needs. In combat, the four external points can mount more than 10 laser-guided or GPS-guided precision strike weapons.
Aviation Industry Group stated that the successful first flight of Pterosaur ID drone further enriched the pterosaur drone pedigree and enhanced the competitiveness of Pterosaur series drones in the international multi-purpose high-end drone market. The series of UAV market has a wider development space.
