A new drone with folding wings and the potential to be deployed on China's third aircraft carrier debuted at Airshow China 2018 in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong Province this week.
Previously only seen in an illustration released a week before the show, the HK-5000G unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) appeared on display at the booth of the Aeromarine Intelligent Equipment Company, a subsidiary of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.
No detailed description was offered at the booth other than it was a medium- and high-altitude long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle.
The technical details were not given as the company is still adjusting the vehicle, Liu Yubao, vice manager of the company's research and development department, told the Global Times.
The HK-5000G is a vessel-based armed reconnaissance drone, Liu said. "It can carry a payload for scouting missions or missiles for combat."
The vehicle has an endurance of 12 hours and weighs about 5 tons, Liu said, noting that this was only initial data and liable to change.
Military observers speculated the folding wings on the drone indicate its potential for aircraft carriers.
Folding wings save space on a flight deck and are less necessary on land.
Liu confirmed the guess, saying the HK-5000G is indeed designed for aircraft carriers.
"We have already made many pre-studies including takeoff and landing on an aircraft carrier and aircraft-vessel adaptation," he said.
It's more difficult to take off and land on a flight deck at sea with the space, acceleration and deceleration requirements, Liu noted.
Given the HK-5000G's size, its 5-ton weight and its engine, a ski jump takeoff was out, Liu said. The UAV must use a catapult.
Aircraft carriers Liaoning and the Type 001A have ski jumps, not catapults.
In June an illustration captured at a meeting of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation suggested that China's third aircraft carrier will use an electromagnetic catapult.
As the technology matures, drones will be widely used on aircraft carriers, a military expert who asked not to be named told the Global Times on Thursday.
"A vessel-based drone can expand the reconnaissance capability of its mothership and provide fire support," the expert said.
Although exhibiting at the November 6-11 show, the drone is not for export, Liu said.

Shenzhen in South China's Guangdong Province is becoming the hub of the world's civilian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sector, with a report by the Shenzhen Economic Daily on Monday showing that its UAV exports surpassing 600,000 in the first half of 2018.
The city's ambition was on display at the first Shenzhen International UAV Festival held on Sunday, which attracted visitors from around the world. The festival showed how widely drones could be used in different sectors, including agriculture, security, mapping, environmental protection and logistics.
The total number of industrial drones in China has reached 25,000, and they're being used in more than 70 sectors, making China one of the world's largest users of UAVs, the report said.
According to the Shenzhen UAV Industry Association, in 2017, the output of Chinese civilian drones was 11 billion yuan ($1.6 billion), a rise of 67 percent year-on-year, with 80 percent made in Shenzhen, said the report.
A Shenzhen-based drone company DJI accounts for more than 70 percent of the world market, according to Skylogic Research, a firm tracking the drone industry.

JD Secures China’s First Provincial Drone License for LogisticsChina grants first operating license for pilot drone deliveries
Source: Xinhua| 2018-03-27 22:31:26|Editor: yan
NANCHANG, March 27 (Xinhua) -- The first operating license to allow experimental drone deliveries in China has been granted to a courier, civil aviation authorities said Tuesday.
The East China Regional Administration of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) granted a subsidiary of China's leading courier SF Express the license in east China's Jiangxi Province. It allows the commercial operation of drone deliveries in a pilot zone in Nankang District in Jiangxi's Ganzhou City.
"The issue of the license means that drone transportation in China has entered a new stage," said Wang Zhiqing, deputy director of CAAC, adding that the technology was expected to benefit people in rural areas.
"SF Express will build a drone delivery network, expand delivery services in those remote areas of complex topography and improve its logistics efficiency," said Tian Min, a senior employee with SF Express.
Tian said the next step would be to expand the operation in the province and also the whole country.
Drone delivery tests have been carried out in Nankang District since June 2017.
Zhu Biying, living in Dagu Village in the pilot district, said he was confident in the drone delivery since none of the eggs were broken when transported by drones.
Previously, it was difficult to carry eggs or other farm products out of Zhu's mountainous hometown, which is around 10 kilometers away from the nearest township.
He said that the drone solved his problems, and some customers who ordered online could now receive his products even on the same day.

JD Secures China’s First Provincial Drone License for Logistics
(Yicai Global) Nov. 16 -- A unit of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.Com has become the first company in the country to secure a license to operate drones for logistics on a provincial level.
CAAC Northwest Regional Administration issued a business license for civil unmanned aerial vehicles to Xi’an-based unit Tianhong Technologies, JD said on its WeChat account yesterday.
The move marks a major step for China in its exploration of using drones in the logistics sector. The landmark allows the further development of the industry in terms of standards and scale.
The company has set up logistics operations using unmanned aerial vehicles in seven Chinese provinces to date, namely, Shaanxi, Jiangsu, Hainan, Qinghai, Guangdong, Fujian and Guangxi. Their operation has helped with distribution challenges in rural and hard-to-get-to areas and has extended intelligent logistics to reach more regions and more people.

I hope China CCP can give Erhang 184 a helping hand and let them run service in China soon for human passenger service. Let China take lead in human drone passenger industries and dont be so conservative.

China develops small multi-rotor UAV with ceiling to 5,000 meters
Source: Xinhua| 2018-11-20 19:27:37|Editor: Liangyu
BEIJING, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- China has developed X-M20 "Crane", a small-size multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which can climb up to 5,000 meters, said the China Helicopter Research and Development Institute (CHRDI) Tuesday.
The electricity-powered small UAV features distinctive pitch control technique, which makes it unique in the UAV market, said CHRDI, China's leading helicopter research organ of Avicopter under the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).
X-M20, with the weight only 20 kilograms, is designed to have a service ceiling up to 5,000 meters and wind resistance capacity up to seven level.
As to the outstanding endurance capacity, the small UAV can fly about one hour with its maximum payload of five kilometers.
Typically, the multi-rotor aerial vehicle in the market is controlled by changing the rotating speed, while the X-M20 adopts pitch rotor control technique.
X-M20 is controlled by changing the angle of rotors, thus the small UAV is endowed with higher efficiency, flexibility and wind-resistance capacities, CHRDI said.
It is configured with high-performance blades, which reduces its power consumption and noise level and makes it more capable of long-endurance flight.
The small multi-rotor UAV could be used in multiple missions such as border patrol, anti-terrorism, line patrol, geographical surveys and traffic monitoring.
China has become a major player in the global helicopter market. Avicopter has mastered more than 50 models in 12 series of helicopters, making it among the world's seven leading helicopter manufacturers.
