Zhuhai 2016: China extends Wing Loong family
Two hitherto unknown fixed-wing Wing Loong UAVs were unveiled at the 11th Zhuhai Air Show being held from 1-6 November in southern China.
The Wing Loong (Pterodactyl) is now a family with four different variants: the Wing Loong 1, 1-D, 2 and 3, according to literature provided by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).
The original Wing Loong 1, revealed in 2012 at the Singapore Air Show, is a tactical medium-altitude and long-endurance (MALE) multi-role UAV with an endurance of 20 hours, range of 200km and a payload capability of two 50kg air-to-ground bombs or missiles.
