Chengdu WZ-10

The Wing Loong-10, which carries the Chinese military designation WZ-10, is a family of high-altitude long-endurance uncrewed aircraft with some stealth features, developed by the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group for reconnaissance and precision strike. It grew out of the Sky Wing III shown at the 2007 Paris Air Show, which became the twin-engine Wind Shadow for the Chinese air force, shown at Zhuhai in 2014, and the export-oriented Cloud Shadow, shown there in 2016 with a single turbojet. The airframe is built of composites with a bulbous nose and an air scoop on the back, and it has six hardpoints for guided bombs and missiles. A Wing Loong-10 flew a typhoon observation mission for the China Meteorological Administration on 2 August 2020, and export versions 10A and 10B were shown in 2022. Unlike the earlier turboprop Wing Loong drones it is jet powered, and the Wing Loong-10B is believed to be in service with the Royal Saudi Air Force as of 2024.
