Yi Long-2, the second version of China's independently developed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Yi Long, successfully completed its maiden flight on Monday, marking China as the second world power after the U.S. to own the ability of developing all-in-one large-scale spy and attack UAVs.
Yi Long-2 is 11 meters long, with a wingspan of up to 20.5 meters, maximum takeoff weight of 4.2 tons and maximum weapon weight of 480 kilograms.
The UAV adopted new engine and shape design, enabling its maximum flying height to reach 9,000 meters, with a maximum speed of 370 kilometers per hour and a maximum endurance time of 20 hours.
Yi Long-2 greatly improved in its flying performance and its capability of implementing tasks compared to the previous Yi Long-1, whose takeoff weight is about one ton.
