Chinese UAV

China UAV

I’m not sure if thats the intended name or not, but thats whats being used. It represents the largest platform so far to be offered for sale from China, a country that’s big enough to support a UAS industry all on its own.  Many people are being stung with low quality airframes and autopilots that seem to come out every other day at the moment but China UAV looks like the real deal. The patch antennas on the wingtips point to the design actually being used.
