Flying Wing
Flying Wing Proof of concept UAV (Fei-Yi Yan-Zheng Ji, 飞翼验证机) is an experimental Chinese UAV developed by Iflyer to gain experience in design and flight control system of flying wing configuration. The flying wing eliminates the tail rudder and control surfaces, but still retains the distinct fuselage. The aircraft is powered b a two-blade propeller driven by a pusher engine at the end of the fuselage and winglets are installed on the wing.[4]
Hunter
Hunter UAV (Lie-Ren or Lieren, 猎人) is a twin engine Chinese UAV developed by Iflyer with a twin-boom configuration. What is unusual about Hunter UAV is that the two engines are not mounted on the booms for the typical twin boom configuration, but instead, both engines are mounted on the fuselage, a tractor engine in the nose, and a pusher engine at the end. Both engines are equipped with two-blade propeller. Specification:[5]
- Wingspan: 3 m
- Length: 2.4 m
- Wing area: 14 m2
- Weight: 38 kg
