"Mr. Cao, all the preparations for the first flight of the Skyhawk stealth drone have been completed, and it can take off at any time."

After Cao Yang returned from a business trip to the imperial capital, the test flight of the stealth drone on the Daystar side was also prepared.

The name of this aircraft has also been officially determined, and it is called the Skyhawk stealth drone.

Of course, in order to reduce the military attributes, the official name does not have the word "bombing".

Otherwise, if you advertise that the Skyhawk stealth unmanned bomber is a civilian aircraft, it is obviously unjustifiable.

Of course, even if the word "bombing" is removed, there is still the word "stealth" in it, and it will not make sense to use it that has nothing to do with military use.

It can only be said that this is the "self-deception" style of Daystar Technology.

This is the same as some countries like to play hooligans, but they still want to make a sense of themselves.

Cao Yang obviously wants to put this into practice.

Although I know you know it's a military aircraft, I don't admit it.

You love how to think and think.

Anyway, the United States has completely banned the enterprises of the Nanshan system.

With or without Skyhawk stealth drones, it's the same result.

"This plane looks really sci-fi, I didn't expect our own company to produce similar products so quickly."

Pan Jun naturally came over today to participate in the test flight of the Sky Eagle.

Such a commemorative moment is all about being reflected in the documentary.

When it is broadcast in the future, it will definitely be very memorable.

"High stealth, long endurance, full autonomy, low cost, and large combat radius."

"If this drone is a large-scale formal hunting related department, it is estimated that many neighbors will not be able to sleep well."

Although Zhao Siyu is not the person in charge of this project, as the general manager of Qixing Technology, he is naturally very happy that the company has such a fist product.

Yesterday he already knew that Daystar Technology was going to participate in AVIC's large stealth bomber project.

It was definitely a large version of the Aquila, and the meaning was very different.

These are the embodiment of the strength of Daystar Technology.

"Representative Pan, when will this documentary be broadcast, and is there still no final conclusion?"

Cao Yang feels that there is no harm in publicizing more, which can greatly improve the self-confidence of netizens.

However, the relevant departments obviously also have some concerns.

"Mr. Cao, after the relevant departments equip the Skyhawk on a large scale, the documentary can be allowed to be broadcast."

"At the pace of your R&D, it will be next year at the latest."

"Of course, if you want to release some pictures, you can also release them, but the specific parameter information must be kept secret first."

Pan Jun shared the latest information he had gotten with Cao Yang.

In his opinion, the Skyhawk only flew this year, and it will be able to broadcast the relevant documentary next year, which is already very fast.

Not only other weapons and equipment in China, except for some relatively ordinary products, most of the products will be unveiled to the public after many years of large-scale equipment.

There are even some strategic-level weapons, even if they have been equipped on a large scale for more than ten years, and no data will be released to the public.

It's a good idea to have this change now.

Cao Yang also understood this situation, so after listening to Pan Jun's words, he didn't force it anymore.

"No problem, just do what you say."

The performance of the Skyhawk UAV is outstanding, and it is understandable that some performance indicators will not be announced first.

Soon, after all the preparations were completed, Cao Yang officially issued instructions, and the first flight of the Sky Eagle began.

I saw a Skyhawk stealth drone like a vigorous eagle, slowly sliding out of the hangar, ready to spread its wings and fly high.

Its sleek body is like a work of art, and every detail shows the designer's ingenuity.

The fuselage is made of advanced stealth materials, making it shimmer mysteriously and deeply in the sun, as if it were a battle armor draped in stars.

The edges of the wings are sharp-cut, as if they can cut through the air and lead the drone through the sky.

The lines on the wings are like the magic of nature, which not only increases the strength of the drone, but also adds a bit of mystery to it.

There was no particularly loud engine sound, and there was nothing very special about the sight.

The Skyhawk drone began to glide slowly, like an eagle about to take off.

As its speed increases, it gradually leaves the ground and rushes into the blue sky.

In this process, the Skyhawk drone seems to merge with the earth and the sky, forming a harmonious picture.

And the Aquila took off at the same time as a twin-tailed scorpion drone, which was tasked with taking videos and photos of the Aquila.

At the same time, as a comparison, see if the radar can detect two targets.

The first flight of Daystar Technology's Skyhawk UAV was reported to the relevant departments, and the flight route was also fixed.

Take off from Yangcheng and go northeast along the coastline quickly.

In the entire coastline of China, the distribution of various radar stations is the most dense.

This is also the first line of monitoring of air defense forces, so there are various radars to monitor the first flight of the Skyhawk UAV.

A radar station in Yangcheng.

"A small aircraft has been monitored for takeoff!"

"Repeat, a small aircraft was monitored to take off, coordinates XXX."

A few minutes later, a similar report was made from a radar station near Huicheng.

Most of the radar stations have only received the task of detecting UAVs, but they do not know exactly how many UAVs have taken off.

However, some command centers are aware that there were two drones in this flight, and that a certain distance was maintained between the two drones.

They will not be superimposed because they are deliberately trying to reduce the radar reflection area.

"Are you sure you've only found one drone?"

In a certain command center, a colonel frowned, and the expression on his face was a little solemn.

In the past two years, the relevant radar stations have been equipped with microwave radar in order to detect stealth aircraft.

For example, at the time when the twin-tailed scorpion drone first appeared, the situation where most radar stations could not detect its existence no longer existed.

But now only one drone has been detected.

That situation says a lot.

"Yes, it's been confirmed with the three radar stations along the way."

"Wait another ten minutes to see!"

According to the report from Daystar Technology, the twin-tailed scorpion drone will return to its home, allowing the Skyhawk drone to fly independently for a distance.

This can also better detect its stealth performance.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

"The drone has turned around and returned!"

After this information was reported by a radar station, there has been no movement of another drone.

"Activate the infrared equipment and sound detection equipment in the nearby airspace, and be sure to find another drone."

Although this drone is now Huaxia's own product, so many ground radar stations can't find it, and this situation is undoubtedly very serious.

Wouldn't it be dangerous if there were similar products coming out from the United States?

It's a little scary to think about it.

"An infrared detection device has detected a drone!"

"A drone has been detected by a sound detection device!"

"The two are definitely the same plane!"

Although several detection methods were used, the results remained unchanged and only one aircraft was detected.

"Give me the Daystar Technology Test Center and transfer the relevant monitoring video."

In addition to arranging for the twin-tailed scorpion to shoot Skyhawk, Daystar Technology also mobilized a satellite to specifically monitor the test flight.

The Starlink project has launched so many satellites, and some satellites are equipped with high-precision camera systems, which can realize the use of multiple functions when needed.

For example, this high-altitude shooting is a very special existence.

The satellite directly locks onto the unique signal source on the Skyhawk and can take pictures of its flight path from start to finish.

"Mr. Cao, the radar station of the relevant departments, only the twin-tailed scorpion drone was found from beginning to end, and it was like disappearing after the Skyhawk took off."

Zhao Siyu kept receiving all kinds of news, and the more he went to the back, the more smiles on his face.

The smile was as bright as the rising sun, filled with endless joy and joy.

It is conceivable that the first flight performance of the Skyhawk was very eye-catching.

At the same time, near Daystar Technology, on the balcony of a community, there are also people who are constantly releasing news to the outside world.

On the balcony, there is a camera with a long lens, which can shoot the scene above the test site of Daystar Technology in time.

The pictures of the Skyhawk drone and the twin-tailed scorpion drone taking off just now were all taken by him.

The strength of Daystar Technology is very strong, and in the past two years, relevant personnel from the United States have been squatting to observe the situation.

The relevant departments of Huaxia have even arrested several groups of personnel to enter.

However, the more this happens, the more interested people will be attracted to explore its secrets.

This time, Daystar Technology's Skyhawk drone made its first flight, and it did not mean to keep the whole process secret, so it was normal for someone to take a picture of takeoff.

The same appearance as the B-2 stealth bomber will definitely give people a very big visual impact.

"Mr. Cao, the stealth performance of this Skyhawk is really so good, so many radar stations can't detect it?"

The Skyhawk drones are all starting to return, but none of the radar stations have yet discovered their existence.

If there are various pictures and videos to prove that Skyhawk is really flying at an altitude of 100 meters in front of the twin-tailed scorpion drone, it is estimated that many people will suspect that this time Daystar Technology only carried out a test flight of the twin-tailed scorpion drone.

"The Skyhawk UAV adopts the overall layout of high stealth height aerodynamic efficiency, and also has advanced designs such as new turbofan engines and all-composite structures, which can not only be completely stealthy on radar, but also evade the detection of optical and infrared detectors in a stealth cruising state."

"In addition, the Skyhawk drone is also designed with unique fuselage noise reduction technology, which can not only be silent when cruising, but also evade the detection of sound detection equipment."

"It's normal for radar stations to not be able to detect it."

Cao Yang was also in a good mood at this time.

Although when developing this aircraft, it was known that its performance in all aspects was very rebellious, and its stealth ability was the first in the world.

But now the first flight proved this, and the meaning is still very different.

"Not only that, the Skyhawk UAV also has a very strong level of autonomy, which can achieve autonomous delivery, autonomous take-off and autonomous landing."

"There are also super functions such as autonomous reconnaissance mission, autonomous identification and positioning, and autonomous return, which completely achieves the integrated operation of the UAV fool."

Zhao Siyu added next to him.

This surprised Pan Jun.

Daystar Technology is really a leading peer in all aspects of drone technology research.

"The maximum take-off weight of the Skyhawk UAV is 3 tons, the wingspan is about 10 meters, the fuselage length is about 3.5 meters, the maximum payload is 500 kilograms, the air dominance time is not less than 5 hours, the combat radius is not less than 1000 kilometers, the cruising altitude is 15 kilometers, the cruising speed is 600 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed is 800 kilometers per hour, which may be the highest speed among UAVs."

"Representative Pan, our factory has been built, just waiting for the orders from the relevant departments to come over."

Seeing that the process of test flight is going well, it has been in the last few months that it has entered the state of mass production.

Cao Yang half-jokingly urged Pan Jun to place orders.

Such an advanced drone must be restricted from exporting.

Then you can only sell it to the relevant departments.

This point was already expected by Cao Yang during the previous research and development.

After all, the previous twin-tailed scorpion drones and unmanned helicopters, although the technology is also very advanced, but compared with the Skyhawk drone, it is still inferior.

Of course, they still have their own advantages when it comes to meeting different combat missions.

For example, the Skyhawk, in order to maintain stealth performance, it is not suitable for external missiles, otherwise the stealth performance will be greatly reduced.

But if you just hang a bomb in the belly, you can only hang one missile.

Although it can also play a certain deterrent effect, the bombing effect will definitely be discounted.

Of course, the autonomy of the Aquila is so high, it is not a problem to solve this problem directly with quantity.

When the time comes, hundreds of Skyhawks will be dispatched together, even in the face of an aircraft carrier formation, it is estimated that they will be able to have the strength to fight.

"Mr. Cao, don't worry!"

"After the relevant departments confirm the final test situation today, the order will be placed immediately."

"In the first order, I don't think it will be less than 100 aircraft."

Although the final sale price is not yet known, the Skyhawk is certainly not as expensive as the Kunpeng Heavy Transport Helicopter.

Therefore, Pan Jun feels that there will be no fewer orders from relevant departments.

Not to mention 100, 1000 is possible.

After all, the twin-tailed scorpion drone back then only cost a few million yuan, and the Skyhawk was more expensive, at most 10 million, right?

For relevant departments, a drone with such outstanding performance, 10 million yuan a piece, is really not expensive.

"Then I'll wait for your good news!"

Cao Yang didn't talk too much to Pan Jun on this topic, and if he talked too much, he wouldn't have an immediate result, just express the meaning.

……

After the first flight, Cao Yang posted a retouched picture of the Skyhawk drone on Weibo.

There is no reference around it, only the appearance can be seen, and there is no way to directly measure its size and performance.

However, with this picture, Cao Yang's text is "Sky Eagle drone, the world's first stealth ability".

Such a bold statement that the stealth performance of his product is the first in the world will naturally cause a lot of controversy.

In addition, Cao Yang has a large number of Weibo fans, and the shape of the Sky Eagle is very similar to B-2, so as soon as the photo was released, it was immediately airborne to the hot search.

"The drone is also stealthy, if the manufacturing cost is not too high and the range is relatively long, it is definitely a national weapon!"

"Daystar Technology already has several drones, right? I actually made another one quietly! ”

"This is B-2, right? Could it be that Daystar made the B-2 an unmanned version? ”

"Just looking at the pictures, I feel that the technology content is very high, and it is amazing."

"Mr. Cao, bring you some surprises every once in a while!"

"Drones are good, the more the merrier!"

"What is the performance of this drone, let everyone have fun when it is announced."

"China is a big producer of drones, with countless drones, in wartime it will be like locusts crossing the border, each drone is a fighter, an attack unit, carrying all kinds of bombs, there is no obstruction, anti-aircraft missiles are anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes useless. What heavy tanks, artillery, rocket vehicles, armored vehicles, personnel units, cars, warehouses, bases, positions, all on the ground are completely destroyed! ”

"When will Skyhawk also participate in the air show, I'm looking forward to it."

……

All kinds of reviews have made many people know about the Skyhawk drone.

However, after all, this is only a drone product, and after the heat lasts for a day, it slowly decreases.

Most netizens pay more attention to celebrity scandals and various melons.

But for some people with ulterior motives, there is no way for this matter to pass so quickly.

"Kevlar, what do you think of this Skyhawk drone from Daystar Technology?"

As a representative of the five/corner/building, John naturally paid attention to the latest developments of Daystar Technology.

Not to mention that Cao Yang released the official picture, it is a lively scene on the Internet in China, and it is impossible for the relevant departments on the American side to have no movement at all.

"In terms of shape, it is highly similar to our B-2, but the internal structure has definitely changed."

"After all, this is a drone, I just don't know what the specific parameters are."

As Northrop Grumman's vice president, Kevlar was furious about the appearance of the Skyhawk.

In his opinion, Daystar Technology completely copied the appearance of his own side.

Even the fact that the drone was positioned completely differently from the B-2 did not dampen his anger.

"Our people have been sending out the relevant information since the Aquila started taking off."

"But radar stations in places like Toying and Guam only detected information about a drone."

"But when it took off, there were obviously two, one was a Skyhawk and the other was a twin-tailed scorpion."

"I suspect that it was only the twin-tailed scorpion that we detected, otherwise Cao Yang would not be so ashamed to say that the Aquila's stealth ability is the best in the world."

After John revealed this information, Kevlar immediately frowned.

When the twin-tailed scorpion drone was tested, the stealth performance was also good.

Although after the twin-tailed scorpion drone was sold to the outside world, the United States obtained a lot of relevant information, and after making some targeted layouts, it was basically able to detect it.

But so soon another drone with more advanced stealth performance appeared, which is still very anxious.

In particular, the shape of this drone is exactly the same as that of the B-2, and then I don't know the size information and various parameters of the Skyhawk on my side.

In case a drone is about the same size as the B-2, it will be extraordinary.

"The B-2 adopts a fuselage structure that fuses the fuselage and wings, without the conventional flat tail and vertical tail, which greatly reduces the radar reflection area of its fuselage, and also adopts stealth designs such as zigzag air intakes."

"Coupled with the use of stealth materials, the B-2 has excellent radar stealth performance, which is difficult to be detected by the enemy."

"Now that the Skyhawk has adopted a similar appearance to the B-2, the size is most likely smaller, so it is very likely that the stealth performance is better than that of the B-2."

Kevlar didn't deny that Aquila was the world's number one stealth capabler.

After all, to deny the Aquila is, to a certain extent, to deny the B-2.

However, the more this happened, the deeper his brow wrinkled.

"I think you can work with General Atomics to launch some similar drones."

"At the same time, I will also communicate with Raytheon to see how I can produce a radar that can detect this kind of drone."

"Otherwise, the skies and seas of East Asia will be more dangerous for us in the future."

John has always felt that the United States has the best military power in the world and does not allow any country to challenge.

But now the situation is changing more and more.

The speed of technological progress of Huaxia on various UAVs and spacecraft is really too fast.

Many of the roads that took the United States more than a decade, or even decades, to complete, are completed in a few years.

Who can stand it at this speed?

Especially in the production of warships, I heard that the mode of dumplings has been opened on the other side of the strait.

The dominance of the American side is becoming less and less obvious.

Especially in the waters near China, there is no obvious dominant position.

This is certainly not the situation John wants to see.

"I'll talk to Plint and see how we can work together!"

Although Northrop Grumman and General Atomics have some competition on the drone project, it is not impossible to cooperate.

Kevlar and Plint, vice president of General Atomics, were college classmates.

With John taking the lead in matchmaking, it is entirely possible for the two sides to quickly cooperate to develop a drone comparable to Skyhawk.

The premise is that John's side helps apply for enough funds.

Kevlar doesn't think it's a problem at all.
