According to reports, this UAV is a specially designed reconnaissance and strike platform with low observability and high survivability. "Ying Xing" has a maximum take-off weight of 4,000 kg, a diamond-shaped fuselage, and a total area of 7.3 meters. Swept wing span15m. According to Langxing Company, which developed the aircraft, the radar cross-sectional area of the aircraft can be controlled at 0. 1 m2.
The rear of the fuselage and the trailing edge of the wing are equipped with control surfaces, and a pair of air inlets with low observability design are installed on both sides above the fuselage to drive two engines, and the nozzle also has low observability design.
It is said that the aircraft adopts the conventional take-off mode, with a three-point landing gear under the fuselage, two wheels for the front landing gear and a single wheel for the main landing gear.
