Chinese UAV1966 65438+On February 6th, Sky 1 made its first flight successfully.

1960s, due to the cancellation of Soviet aid and the evacuation of experts, there was a serious shortage of La-17 unmanned aerial vehicles for PLA Air Force experiments, and the country made up its mind to manufacture unmanned aerial vehicles by itself, thus promoting the birth of Changkong-1.

The high-speed unmanned aerial vehicle (CK- 1) was successfully finalized at 1965 ~ 1967 by the Second Station of an Air Force Experimental Training Base in Badain Jaran Desert. The main person in charge is General Zhao Xu, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, who is known as the "father of Chinese unmanned aerial vehicles".

1966 65438+On February 6th, the first flight of Sky One was successful. In fact, Changkong No.1 is a product that imitates La-17. It took three months from the beginning of imitation to the success of the overall design. Later, it was transferred to China Southern Airlines College, which was once produced by Changzhou Aircraft Factory of AVIC II Group. In China Southern Airlines, the design of this model was finalized at the end of 1976, and the chief designer was Guo. As early as the late 1960s, the Institute began to develop unmanned aerial vehicles. After the successful development of Changkong-1, it played an important role in the experiment of air-to-air weapons in China.

Unmanned aerial vehicle, abbreviated as UAV in English, is an unmanned aerial vehicle which is operated by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device, or operated by airborne computer completely or intermittently. ? [ 1]?

Compared with manned aircraft, drones are often more suitable for those tasks that are too "stupid, dirty or dangerous". Uavs can be divided into military and civilian according to their application fields. On the military side, drones are divided into reconnaissance planes and target planes. In terms of civilian use, UAV+industrial application is the real demand of UAV; At present, its application in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, micro-selfie, express transportation, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power inspection, disaster relief, film and television shooting, creating romance and other fields has greatly expanded the use of drones. Developed countries are also actively expanding their industrial applications and developing drone technology.
