Bill Sweetman’s analysis of the two Chinese HALE UAV prototypes
Bill Sweetman has done a detailed analysis on the aerodynamic characteristics and potential uses of two high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) unmanned aircraft that appeared in China recently.
Sweetman concluded that Shenyang’s Divine Eagle, with its twin-body is likely to be a platform for an airborne early warning radar.
The Guizhou Soar Dragon, with its joined-wing configuration, is optimized to carry a wide variety of payloads.
