CADI-1

CADI-1 is a Chinese miniature UAV developed by CDADI to explore VTOL knowledge.[1] CADI-1 is powered by two electric motors that drive propellers, and it has twin-tail layout. CADI-1 operates like Ryan X-13 Vertijet to achieve VTOL. A portion of the wing can be folded a hundred eighty degrees and hence the complete name of CADI-1 is VTOL Shape Varying Aircraft (Chui-Zhi Qi-Jiang Bian-Ti Fei-Xing-Qi, 垂直起降变体飞行器).[2]

VD200

VD200 is a VTOL aircraft developed by CDADI and it is a tail-sitter in flying wing layout with two vertical stabilizers. Propulsion is provided by a two three-blade propeller driven engines with one mounted on each wing. After taking off, the entire fuselage would pitch 90 degrees and flies like a normal fixed wing UAV.[3]

VMA-01

VMA-01 (also known as VMA for short) is a VTOL UAV with folding wings. VMA-01 is in a flying wing layout powered by a pair of two-blade propellers driven by tractor engines mounted at the leading edge of the wing, and payload is sandwiched between the two propeller-driving engines. VMA-01 has twin-tail configuration and the outer portion of the wing can be folded.[4] Specification:[5]

  • Wingspan extended: 4.8 m
  • Wingspan folded: 3.3 m
  • Height: 1.6 m
  • Max take-off weight: 110 kg
  • Max payload: 15 kg
  • Max speed: 220 km/hr
  • Cruise speed: 150 km/hr
  • Ceiling: 3 km
  • Endurance: 2 hr
  • Radius: 100 km

Leap Dragon

Leap Dragon (Yue-Long or Yuelong, 跃龙) is a fixed wing experimental UAV with tricycle landing gear developed by CDADI. Leap Dragon has a tandem wing layout with two piston engines. .[6][7]

gollark: It's called "JSP".
gollark: And interpreter.
gollark: Related: are you seriously going to try and make a JS parser?
gollark: JUST PICK RANDOMLY IT DOESN'T MATTER FOCUS ON ACTUALLY WRITING CODE.
gollark: Yes.
