Chapter 230: Global hot discussion, you call this a drone [ more subscriptions required]

"Among all the aircraft on display this time, our pterosaur is the largest. When visitors come in and see it, I'm sure their jaws will drop."

In the largest exhibition area of ​​the International Air Show Center, Zhao Yuefeng spoke excitedly.

The net indoor exhibition area of ​​the entire air show center reaches 30,000 square meters.

Hundreds of aerospace manufacturers from home and abroad participated.

This also includes many new types of drones.

But compared with the pterosaur with a wingspan of 24 meters, all of them pale in comparison.

Not to mention the pterosaur's abnormal range.

"Today is the first time that the Wing Loong is on display. We can't just amaze the audience at the exhibition. We must let the world see what the most advanced drone is."

Liang Zhanjun was in a very happy mood at the moment, and subconsciously responded when he heard Zhao Yuefeng's words.

His eyes were fixed on the huge light grey drone in front of him, his expression full of confidence.

Since the Wing Loong UAV completed its first test flight last year with complete success, it has undergone many performance tests in various aspects.

The obtained data all exceeded the expected parameters of the design scheme.

It can be said to be very successful.

At this moment, he is very clear about the comprehensive capabilities of this drone, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most advanced drone in the world.

In order to follow Xu Yuan to attend this exhibition and witness the Wing Loong UAV's debut to the world.

He specially arranged the project tasks in the institute and only brought Zhao Yuefeng with him to fly over from Jincheng.

As for the genuine Wing Loong drone in front of us, it was also delivered through official channels.

Of course, with the performance of the Wing Loong UAV, it would have no problem taking off from Jincheng and flying directly here. It was just transported here considering that it was its first appearance to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

But then his eyes suddenly dimmed, and he remembered something that made him worried.

After a slight pause, he turned around and looked at Xu Yuan who was debugging the screen not far away.

Asked:
"Do you think anyone overseas will buy our Wing Loong drone at this international air show?"

After the above research and decision, Xu Yuan’s application was finally approved and the Wing Loong UAV was allowed to be sold externally.

The price is six million US dollars.

Compared with advanced overseas drones, this price is undoubtedly affordable.

The price is very high.

Therefore, Xu Yuan is not worried about sales issues at all.

As long as the outside world is convinced of the true performance of the Wing Loong, there will definitely be a lot of regions that want to purchase it.

For Xu Yuan, what he is most looking forward to is that the Pterosaur will have the opportunity to actually fight overseas.

It will also help them have a clearer assessment of the pterosaur's combat power, and subsequently optimize and upgrade their weaknesses.

In addition, all Wing Loong drones sold will have a built-in program that will automatically start the return flight for safety as long as they get close to the designated domestic area.

The LCD screen that Xu Yuan was debugging was playing a simulated animation about the Wing Loong UAV.

It can be regarded as helping the outside world better understand the functions of pterosaurs.

Other than that.

The corresponding parameters of the pterosaur are also marked above.

After the simulation animation played normally, he turned around and answered Liang Zhanjun's questions with a smile on his face.

"Do not worry."

"Those big players know what good things are, and when the time comes they want to buy more we won't sell."

"That's true." Liang Zhanjun nodded and said with a smile.

He has absolute trust in Xu Yuan. Since he is so confident, he naturally doesn't need to worry about anything.

Zhao Yuefeng had his work ID from the exhibition hanging around his neck. As he listened to what Xu Yuan and Liang Zhanjun said, he couldn't help but interrupt them in his excitement.

"The American Reaper reconnaissance and strike drone has been known as the most advanced drone before, but I believe that from today onwards, this title will be given to our Wing Dragon."

“I don’t know what the reaction of General Atomics will be when the time comes.”

Xu Yuan naturally knew the Reaper drone that Zhao Yuefeng mentioned.

It is an advanced reconnaissance and strike UAV independently developed by General Atomics Aeronautics.

The Reaper is also known as the first hunter-killer drone.

Loved by the Air Force.

It is recognized as the world's most advanced reconnaissance and strike UAV.

And its cost is also very high, directly reaching more than 30 million US dollars.

However, not only does the Pterosaur cost less than 30 million, its performance in all aspects far exceeds that of the Death God.

no doubt.

After today, the Death God will be retired.

The drone field will be led by Wing Loong in the future.

What's more, the institute is currently developing a more advanced and excellent stealth drone.

Soon when everything is ready, the first day of activities of this international air show will officially begin.

At this time, Xu Yuan raised his wrist to look at the watch Chen Yuran gave him, then raised his eyes to look at Liang Zhanjun, Zhao Yuefeng, and several staff members who helped maintain order and reminded them.

"It's almost time for the audience and media to enter."

The voice just fell.

Everyone suddenly became excited.

Looking forward to what's to come.

While waiting for the audience and media to enter, Xu Yuan couldn't help but think of Professor Zou Jing from Qinghua Institute of Materials.

The other party should be in the battery laboratory right now, testing the new battery structure design he proposed.

Considering Zou Jing's level in the field of power batteries, it probably won't take long.

By then, when lithium iron phosphate power batteries with energy density several times higher than now appear in the domestic market, I wonder if they will promote the development of current domestically produced new energy vehicles.

Just as Xu Yuan was thinking about these things, the entrance of the International Air Show Center was unusually busy.

Looking around, a large number of people were queuing up to enter the air show, and their faces were filled with anticipation.

Most of those who are willing to come here specifically to participate in the air show are undoubtedly enthusiasts and fans of this.

And military science and technology personnel.

After all, in addition to various types of aircraft, the air show also showcases high-quality tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and other equipment.

In addition, there were media reporters carrying filming equipment and representatives from overseas regions who came in through exclusive channels.

You know, the air show is not only a place for all parties to showcase their excellent products, but more importantly, it is a place to promote cooperation.

Based on the experience of previous international air shows, exhibitors from various countries and regions will sign at least dozens of projects, with the total value of contracts or agreements exceeding tens of billions of US dollars.

Hundreds of aircraft of various models were sold.

Not long after.

As the audience entered the indoor exhibition area of ​​the air show center, the entire area suddenly became lively.

Everyone was attracted by the various aircraft, artillery and equipment in the exhibition area, and for a moment they didn't know which one to look at.

"Fuck!"

“This armored vehicle is so cool.”

"Today is not in vain."

"Look over there, it looks like a new type of tank, I haven't seen it before."

“This is what men should watch.”

"I heard that there will be several new drones on display at this air show. I hope there will be some surprises later."

"Domestic drones are still a little bit inferior, the Grim Reaper is really cool!"

……

Compared with the dazzled audience, the media reporters who came in were more professional.

Standing in front of the camera, introducing the air show.

And conduct interviews in each exhibition area.

"Hello, audience friends. I am now at the exhibition area of ​​the 650th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition. There are nearly 113 domestic and foreign aerospace manufacturers from more than countries and regions participating in the exhibition. According to statistics, there are aircraft of various types on display."

"Next we will visit the advanced equipment exhibition area and provide you with detailed information on all aspects."

The situations inside the exhibition hall of the International Air Show Center are uploaded to the news website platform in real time.

Among them, many audience members posted on Weibo.

This is also a channel for people who are unable to attend the air show on site for various reasons to view the exhibition area online.

Although the first day of the exhibition was a working day, many netizens still intensively refreshed their Weibo accounts.

When seeing equipment they like, they will leave a message in the comment section, making this air show a hot search topic.

However, it is a bit regrettable that no single product has become a hot search so far.

"There are so many aircraft on display. I regret not going there."

"Oh my goodness, this cannon has a really large caliber."

"There are so many weapons and equipment. I think they are enough for several battalions. I have learned a lot today."

"My friend, you are too narrow-minded. This is more than just the equipment of several battalions. There are quite a few tanks and armored vehicles alone."

"I don't like to watch anything else, I just like this, blogger, please take more pictures."

"What's so good about this artillery? I heard there are several drones in the exhibition area. Blogger, go take a look."

"To be honest, there is really nothing to see in domestic drones. Compared with overseas drones, they are far behind in technology. Only our stealth fighters have come on the scene, otherwise there is no comparison in aviation."

……

Wei Chenhui is a military equipment enthusiast and likes to make some related science videos.

He has accumulated more than 100,000 followers on Weibo and can be considered a small video blogger.

As a military science blogger, there is no reason not to come and see an air show of this scale.

It can also serve as material for a new video.

In addition to himself, he also specially invited several male fans who have the same hobbies.

The four of them were stunned as soon as they came in, especially the fans who looked to be in their twenties. It was obviously the first time for them to attend such an air show in their lives.

Feeling the strong visual impact, I was quite excited.

After calming down for about a few seconds, Wei Chenhui was the first to react.

He turned around and said to the three fans with a smile on his face: "It's more fun to watch it live."

"Have you decided which exhibition area we should go to first?"

"This is the first time I've seen so many aircraft equipment. It's so cool." One of the tall boys said after hearing this.

The voice just fell.

The boy wearing glasses next to him continued, "Brother Wei, why don't we go to the aircraft exhibition area first? Someone in the group said that there are many new types of drones on display." His eyes were full of anticipation as he spoke.

The remaining boy was more easy-going and had no objection.

"It doesn't matter where we go first. The air show will last for a few days anyway."

To be honest, Wei Chenhui is not optimistic about domestically produced drones, as the quality of the drones developed in the past two years is limited.

The performance it possesses is difficult to play a role in actual combat. Simply put, it is not cost-effective.

In this field, we have to admit that the overseas Reaper drones are indeed the most advanced.

Considering this aspect alone, he didn't want to stay in the drone exhibition area for too long.

After all, there are so many exhibition areas that if you don’t choose carefully, you won’t be able to finish visiting them all in one day.

What's more, he wanted to shoot some video footage.

Even if you really want to go and see it, you should go to the drone exhibition area of ​​overseas exhibitors to appreciate it.

However, when his thought stayed here, he suddenly thought of the development of domestic aviation technology in recent years.

In particular, it broke the technical limitations of top fighter jets in one fell swoop and developed a stealth fighter that is better than the Raptor, which shows that related technologies are advancing rapidly.

"The domestic fighter technology has developed so rapidly in the past two years, and perhaps the domestic drones have also made new progress."

"Let's go take a look first."

He muttered to himself and stopped here, and finally made a decision.

He raised his hand, pointed in a direction and said, "Over there should be the drone exhibition area of ​​domestic exhibitors. Let's go over and take a look first." After saying that, he immediately started walking behind.

The other three boys naturally followed closely behind.

He looked around all the way, almost leaving his eyes behind.

About twenty minutes.

They finally arrived at the drone exhibition area and saw several drones parked there.

But there weren't many people watching.

Wei Chenhui circled around one of the planes and looked at the parameters marked on the front, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He shook his head and said to himself:
“It’s still the conventional aerodynamic layout design, and I don’t see anything new in the design.”

"Although it uses a turbojet engine, its performance in all aspects is still far behind that of the Grim Reaper."

In the past, when domestic drones were designed, most of them used piston engines. Although piston engines have greater thrust at low speeds and are suitable for low-speed cruise missions, their high-speed performance is much worse and they can easily be locked by enemy weapons.

The drone now uses a turbojet engine, which can indeed be considered a technological advancement.

However, there is a clear gap in various parameters and size compared with overseas drones.

He is also aware of the disadvantages faced by domestic drones in various aspects. If they want to catch up with the level of the Reaper all at once, they still have a long way to go and should be given more time and trust.

However, with the stealth fighter J-20 as a good example, people can't help but raise their expectations.

I always feel that domestic drones shouldn’t be that bad.

After all, the aviation field can directly conquer the fifth-generation aircraft technology from the third-generation aircraft and defeat the dreaded Bird of Prey, which should also be applicable in the field of drones.

Unfortunately, the actual situation before him told him that this seemed to be just wishful thinking.

The three fans following nearby naturally knew that what Wei Chenhui said was not wrong.

There is a huge gap in the technology level of drones between the two sides.

"I really don't know when we will be able to have an advanced drone like the Reaper that can detect and strike at the same time."

As one of them sighed, the other two boys didn't stand there in a daze either.

They took over the conversation and echoed it.

“It’s probably too early to realize this dream.”

"At least we are making continuous progress, and we already have the J-20 stealth fighter."

After saying that, they quickly lost interest in these drones and after discussion decided to go and take a look at the new armored vehicles and tanks.

But just after they walked forward for a distance, the boy who first suggested going to see the drone suddenly seemed to have discovered something outrageous and shouted subconsciously.

"Look over there, there's a bomber in the drone exhibition area!"

"I'm a good boy."

Upon hearing the sound, several people quickly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sight. When the scene not far away came into their field of vision, their eyes widened and their bodies became a little dazed.

"Is there really a bomber?"

"Why does the design of this bomber look a bit strange? It also seems familiar."

In their sight, there was a huge aircraft with a wingspan of 24 meters.

Compared with them, the drones we just saw were like a baby meeting an adult.

No wonder they used it as a bomber.

I can only say that the exhibition area in front of me occupies such a large area that it is blocked from view by other exhibition areas, and I didn’t see this light gray giant at first sight.

Although Wei Chenhui was also stunned for a moment, he was soon completely attracted by this big guy.

It was even difficult to even feel my own excitement.

So before the other three could react, he had already walked towards them quickly.

"Walk."

"Let's go and see."

Hearing the sound, the others also reacted and ran over with excitement on their faces.

Because the audience has just entered the venue, they skipped the front and went directly to the drone exhibition area, so there are not many visitors in this exhibition area at the moment.

Soon the four of them ran to the large exhibition area and admired the plane with their eyes wide open.

But when Wei Chenhui saw the model logo next to it, his expression instantly froze on his face.

There are three other people in the same situation.

They were all stunned, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Pterosaur drone!?"

"This... this is actually a drone?"

"You're kidding."

"The wingspan is as big as a bomber, and you call it a drone."

Even Wei Chenhui, who has a lot of professional knowledge, only knows that drones are like the ones just now.

After all, even the world's most advanced reconnaissance and strike drone, the Reaper, is not as outrageously large as the one in front of us.

This made him a little confused for a moment.

I can't understand why someone in China would design this kind of drone.

For such a huge aircraft, its own weight alone is almost a terrifying number.

Not only does it require a high-performance engine, but its payload and range will also be affected.

Under such circumstances, he really couldn't imagine what value the Wing Loong drone in front of him had.

What's more, he also noticed that the sign next to it specifically stated that this drone was 100% domestically produced.

This means that the aircraft's engine and fuselage materials are all independently developed in China. The single engine is a major flaw.

You should know that the domestically-produced stealth fighter, whose comprehensive performance exceeds that of the Raptor, also has its engine imported from overseas.

Just as he was thinking about this with a frown on his brow, he turned his head and suddenly saw a very familiar figure.

So much so that the next second the expression on her face instantly changed to surprise. To the astonishment of the three boys beside her, she immediately took a big step and rushed to the other party.

Take the initiative to greet people.

"Excuse me, are you Professor Xu Shen Xu?"

Almost at the moment this sentence was spoken, the three boys reacted and raised their eyes quickly.

Directly from an exhibition attendee to an avid fan.

"It's really Professor Xu. I follow him on Weibo, yes."

"I didn't expect to meet Professor Xu here. This exhibition is really worth coming to."

"Professor Xu, can you sign an autograph for us? I'm your fan."

Xu Yuan looked at the four boys in front of him who were about the same age as him, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I thought their attention would be on the Wing Loong UAV, but I didn't expect that I was more attractive.

However, since he was representing the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute today and exhibiting an aircraft developed by himself, there was naturally no need to hide anything, so he stated his identity openly.

"I'm Xu Yuan."

Wei Chenhui, with an excited look on his face, suddenly thought of something after hearing these words.

He glanced back and forth between the Wing Loong drone and Xu Yuan, then asked tentatively:
"Hello, Professor Xu. Did you design this drone?"

Seeing that the other party finally shifted the topic to drones, Xu Yuan looked at the expectant face in front of him, smiled and answered truthfully.

"This Wing Loong UAV was indeed designed and manufactured by our Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute."

“It is the most advanced drone in China and even in the world.”

"This air show is the first time this drone will be unveiled, and it will also be sold and exported."

As Xu Yuan briefly introduced the Wing Loong UAV, Wei Chenhui and the others were stunned again.

I didn't expect this drone to be so special.

When they heard that the drone in front of them was the most advanced in the world, they subconsciously thought it was impossible.

But then I thought, it was Xu Yuan who said this.

The most talented mathematician and scientist in the country.

What's more, this drone is a project of Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute.

You should know that it was the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute that successfully developed the domestically-produced fifth-generation stealth fighter.

Xu Yuan is also a researcher at this institute.

In this situation, they had to turn their attention back to the Wing Loong UAV in front of them.

"It's just a normal aerodynamic layout, why can Professor Xu call it the most advanced drone in the world?"

"wrong."

“The wing tip design is quite special.”

At this moment, Wei Chenhui analyzed the appearance and aerodynamic layout of the UAV with his relevant professional knowledge. However, apart from noting that the design of the wingtips was quite special and different from the common UAVs in the past, he really didn't know how this UAV was named the most advanced.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan noticed Wei Chenhui's dilemma, so he stepped forward to remind him.

"The LCD screen next to it has a more detailed introduction to the drone. You can take a look at it first."

"Oh, okay." Wei Chenhui responded quickly.

Then they noticed that there was a monitor not far away, and something was playing on it.

Facing their performance, Liang Zhanjun and Zhao Yuefeng next to them just had smiles on their faces, as if they could already foresee the other side's astonishing expressions.

Just as Wei Chenhui and the others were watching the introduction on the screen, more and more people gathered around them.

Mainly because there is a national idol like Xu Yuan, no matter what the performance of the product is, there will definitely be no shortage of interested audiences.

Soon, people gathered behind Wei Chenhui.

When everyone saw the parameters of the Wing Loong UAV on the screen, their brains suddenly felt like they were shutting down.

They all stared with eyes wide open in disbelief.

At this point, Wei Chenhui and the others finally understood what Xu Yuan had just said.

Find out why this drone is called the most advanced in the world.

As for the others, they were completely furious.

"I'm not mistaken, the maximum take-off weight is 6.2 tons, and the external load capacity is 2.3 tons."

"There are eight external attachment points for bombs. This is like an aerial bomb truck."

"Shouldn't the maximum range be the most important thing to focus on? Tens of thousands of kilometers is far more than a bomber."

"Forty hours of battery life, I can't even imagine it!"

"If these data are true, doesn't that mean our drones have surpassed the overseas Grim Reaper?"

As everyone discussed heatedly, soon there was only one thought left in everyone's mind.

So is the parameter information on the screen true or false?
If this drone was designed by other departments, it would definitely arouse many people's doubts due to such abnormal parameters.

It is believed that the parameters may contain false moisture.

But the drone was developed by the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute.

It’s Xu Yuan.

That is why everyone holds hope that perhaps the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute has really developed a more advanced drone.

Following stealth fighter jets, China has once again surpassed overseas countries in the field of drones.

Finally, Wei Chenhui couldn't hold back his excitement anymore. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Xu Yuan, and confirmed it again seriously and solemnly.

"Professor Xu."

“Are these parameters real?”

"Of course." Xu Yuan answered firmly.

"All the parameters of the Wing Loong UAV are data obtained after flight tests, and all the technologies are very mature."

After saying this briefly, Xu Yuan noticed that there were already quite a few media reporters in the crowd.

So he turned around and said to Zhao Yuefeng next to him: "Please tell us about our Wing Loong UAV in detail."

"Okay, Professor Xu." Zhao Yuefeng agreed immediately after hearing this.

Given such a good opportunity to promote the Wing Loong UAV, he must seize it.

Then he was seen standing next to the Wing Loong UAV. He coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and then he did not waste any more time to explain in detail.

"As you can see, our Wing Loong UAV is designed to be multi-purpose with heavy loads during long-distance flights, so the wingspan of the aircraft has reached an astonishing 24 meters."

"In addition, the entire aircraft is 100% domestically produced."

"This project was designed and developed by Professor Xu, and solved the problem of domestically produced small-diameter turboprop engines."

"The engine has over 1100 horsepower."

……

"So this is a well-deserved, world's most advanced reconnaissance and strike drone."

A few minutes passed, and after Zhao Yuefeng gave a detailed explanation of the Wing Loong UAV, everyone at the scene felt like they were almost dumbfounded.

It’s amazing to think that just yesterday, domestic drone technology was still at a disadvantage.

There is a huge gap between it and the overseas Reaper drones.

But just one day had passed and earth-shaking changes had taken place.

Offense and defense have changed.

Domestic drone technology has not only reached an advanced level, but has also surpassed it by a large margin.

Just leave the Reaper drone behind.

While everyone was still immersed in this shock and had not yet fully recovered.

Suddenly, a shout from someone in the crowd completely broke the atmosphere.

"I remembered."

"Last year, someone photographed a UFO, and it seemed to have been flying for almost two days."

“There should be photos on Weibo.”

Last year, a blurry photo of an airplane caused quite a stir online.

Many netizens speculated about the type of plane, but no one could provide convincing evidence, so the matter eventually died down after two days of heat.

Now that someone reminded me of this, I suddenly remembered this matter.

Wei Chenhui took out his cell phone and looked through Weibo before anyone else could react.

Then he took the blurry photo and compared it with the light gray Wing Loong drone in front of him.

"From the appearance, they are indeed very similar. No wonder the plane last year was able to fly for such a long time. It turns out that it has a flight time of more than 40 hours."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It should be the same one."

"There aren't many planes with such a long wingspan, so it's really easy to spot."

"That means these parameters are all true."

After everyone confirmed this, when their eyes fell on the drone in front of them again, their breathing became rapid.

It was as if he was admiring a rare treasure, without concealing his burning gaze at all.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Yuan also added another sentence.

"We did conduct the first flight test of the Wing Loong UAV last year, but it was not made public."

Xu Yuan's words were the final word, and immediately everyone at the scene reacted and took photos with the drone with excitement.

At the same time, reporters and media in the exhibition area were also attracted.

Knowing this drone, it will become the hottest topic in the world.

The previous J-20 stealth fighter also surpassed the overseas Raptor fighter in terms of comprehensive performance.

But for ordinary people, they can only follow it through pictures and video news on the Internet.

There is no chance of close contact at all.

But this drone in front of us, which is also the most advanced in the world, can take photos at close range.

This kind of opportunity is definitely something you can only encounter by chance.

After all, when this air show is over, there won’t be a place to take photos with the Wing Loong drone.

that's it.

In the following time, the Wing Loong UAV exhibition area became a check-in spot for the audience.

This forced the air show organizers to allocate more security personnel to maintain order on site.

at the same time.

As related pictures and videos were posted on the Internet, the Wing Loong UAV quickly topped the hot search list.

The People's Daily, China News Service and other parties have also officially announced that great progress has been made in the field of domestic drones.

Many netizens who did not pay attention to this air show had no idea what happened at all, they just saw that domestically-made drones suddenly rose.

After spending some time surfing the Internet, I finally got a general idea of ​​the situation.

Then everyone exploded.

People were excitedly discussing and leaving messages online, as if they hadn't heard something so happy in a long time.

"It turns out that someone took a photo of our Wing Loong drone last year. I didn't expect its flight time to be so impressive."

"With so many mounting points and a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, it's unthinkable to use it on the battlefield."

"I am so excited. I just woke up and found that our drone technology is already the world leader."

"The Reaper drone is about to exit the stage of history. Our Wing Loong drone will take the lead next."

"The parameters of the Wing Loong UAV far exceed those of the Reaper. The key is that our drone costs less than 3000 million yuan, so there is no need to worry too much when using it."

"Professor Xu is really amazing. Not only did he design this drone, but he also made progress in domestic engine technology."

"The lunar rover is currently seeking a name. Please remember to vote for Yutu."

"I don't know if you have noticed one thing. We chose to sell such a powerful drone to the outside world. According to our tradition, there must be more advanced drones that have not been released yet."

……

As a photography enthusiast, Su Hongxiang took a photo of the Wing Loong drone by chance last year.

Because the photo was blurry and the existence of the Wing Loong UAV was not known at the time.

So I sent it to my own account.

Although it sparked discussion among netizens, it quickly died down and no one took it seriously.

But he didn't expect that when he was traveling today, many people in his Penguin group and on Weibo would send him private messages crazily.

At first he thought something had happened, but after finding a place to sit down and take a closer look, he realized that the photo he had taken was actually taken by the most advanced domestically produced drone.

"It turns out that our drone technology has become so advanced. Maybe this drone and I are destined to be together, so I was able to take this photo."

Looking at the high-definition photo of the Wing Loong UAV on his mobile phone, Su Hongxiang muttered to himself, and then reposted it on his own account.

Over the next two days, the popularity of the Wing Loong UAV continued to grow.

This has greatly increased everyone's attention to this air show, and some people even want to come here immediately.

Just to take a photo with the Wing Loong drone.

Including the relevant regulations of the air show, the entire duration is five days.

It's not too late.

With the Wing Loong UAV being so popular in China, it is obvious that there must be no news about it overseas.

What's more, everyone is comparing the Reaper drone with the Pterosaur.

So at dawn overseas, many media outlets, including Reuters and the Times, reported on the Wing Loong UAV.

The titles are also very eye-catching.

Overseas netizens were immediately attracted by the news and clicked in to view the specific content.

For them, the Reaper drone has been in service for many years.

Its excellent performance is beyond doubt.

It can definitely be called the most advanced drone in the world.

But now a new model of drone suddenly appeared, and it crushed the Death in all aspects.

Faced with data that is so abnormal that it is hard to believe that it is all true.

After all, all they saw were some pictures.

But Xu Yuan has some fans overseas, and coupled with the shock that the J-20 brought to them before, they are willing to believe the authenticity of this Wing Loong UAV.

Therefore, during the debate, two different views gradually formed.

Most people believe that it is impossible for China to develop such a drone and the parameters given must be false.

Some people even cited the cost of the two drones as an example, saying that the cost of the Wing Loong drone is so much lower than that of the Reaper drone, and its performance is simply impossible to exceed that of the Reaper drone.

As for a small number of people, they believe that the other party has really developed more advanced drone technology.

And call on others to accept reality.

"The Reaper is the most advanced drone in the world. It's impossible for them to develop a drone more powerful than the Reaper."

"These parameters are so outrageous that I don't believe anyone in the world can do it."

"Their engine and material technologies are far behind ours. It is absolutely impossible for them to develop such a drone. This is just a meaningless show."

"Please don't forget that they have the most advanced stealth fighter jets in the world."

"The cost of this drone is too low. You can't build an advanced aircraft with this amount of money."

"Xu is just a mathematician. He doesn't know how to design and research aircraft."

"Oh my God, a flight of tens of thousands of kilometers, are you sure you're not kidding?"

……

The Wing Loong UAV was like a falling domino, sweeping over many overseas media news reports in a very short period of time and prompting many experts and scholars in the aviation field to publish articles.

They all agreed that it was impossible for such a large drone to achieve a range of tens of thousands of kilometers.

and maximum take-off weight.

Among them, Dimli, the chief designer of the Rafale fighter, seemed to have finally found an opportunity.

They publicly stated that even their Dassault Aviation Company, with its most advanced turboprop engine, could not allow a drone with a wingspan of 24 meters to maintain a flight of tens of thousands of kilometers.

The message revealed implicitly was that this Wing Loong drone was just an empty shell used for performance.

It has no practical significance at all.

For them, it was a surprise to see that China had just developed the third-generation aircraft and then developed the fifth-generation stealth fighter.

This slapped them in the face, but also made them feel that the research and development of fifth-generation aircraft was not that difficult.

And they are not the only ones who share the same view.
