Sharp Sword - Chinese UAV is capable of carrying 2 tons of bombs

The Sharp Sword UAV is China's unmanned stealth fighter, the name that won second place in the National Science and Technology Progress Award. China thinks that with its superior capabilities, this UAV has made its reputation in the aviation industry.

Sharp Sword UCAVis one of China's most high-tech unmanned aircraft.This image comes from the first flight on November 21, 2013.

And then, let's take a look at China's stealth plane through a number of shots - there are quite a few Sharp Sword images taken, in stark contrast to the J-20 - so Sharp's victory. The sword before J-20 is really remarkable. This UCAV is called in Chinese "Lijian" , okay
See the pride of Chinese aviation technology.

Lijian has a cross-section design (like B-2 bombers and X-47B unmanned aircraft) to minimize its radar profile.It has two bomb chambers that can hold up to 2 tons of material.

According to Popsci, this is the first non-NATO unmanned fighter (UCAV), built by China Aviation Industry Group, with many progresses made by Hongdu Aviation Industry Group. . The Sharp Sword first flew in November 2013. With the shape of a B-2 mini bomber, UCAV contained two internal bombs with a payload of about 4400 pounds (nearly 2 tons). This UCAV has a non-afterburning jet engine. The WS-13 with serpentine input helps to hide itself from the radar (Sharp Sword did not initially use stealth technology for demonstration purposes). . It is about 33 feet tall (over 10m) and wingspan is about 46 feet (over 14m).

Sharp Sword stealth aircraft are more capable of surviving (by stealth) than traditional UAVs like the Predator of the US, in addition to many electronic systems, plus integrated artificial intelligence computers. on the plane, limiting people to war.

In the world, there are some countries that own similar models of Sharp Sword, such as the US (X-47B), Britain (Taranis) and France (Neuron). However, this UCAV has some advantages compared to other competitors: the small body frame is quite heavy, the range is longer, and in addition, its flight time is also longer than the remaining models. again.

With Sharp Sword, it is undeniable that China is making great strides in science and technology.
