Flying Fox 1
Flying Fox 1 (Fei-Hu Yi-Hao or Feihu Yihao, 飞狐一号) UAV is an experimental UAV developed by Tianyi to gain experience in carrier landing. Flying Fox 1 UAV is a fixed-wing UAV with a twin-boom layout, inverted v-tail, and tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a twin-blade pusher propeller driven by a gasoline engine mounted in the rear end of the fuselage. The Flying Fox 1 gained attention when it won the 500000 ¥ prize during the AVIC Cup International UAV Innovation Grand Price Competition (Zhong-Hai Gong-Ye Bei Guo-Ji Wu-Ren Fei-Xing-Qi Chuang-Xin Da-Jiang-Sai中航工业杯国际无人飞行器创新大奖赛) held in Beijing in February 2011. Specification:
Training UAV Flying Sky
The training UAV Flying Sky (Fei-Tian or Feitian, 飞天) is a UAV of conventional layout with high-wing configuration and tricycle landing gear. The nose wheel has a fairing to reduce drag. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a tractor engine mounted in the nose. The training UAV Flying Sky is intended to be used as a lower cost training UAV for future UAV crews operating more expensive UAVs, such as the TY-HC series. Externally, this training UAV Flying Sky visually resembles a miniature version of the Cessna 152. The training UAV Flying Sky has also been used in the development of the Flying Fox 1 experimental aircraft, designed to gain experience in carrier landing.
