China's large civil UVA completes cargo flight test

(ECNS) -- China's homegrown large civil unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Wing Loong-2 completed cargo flight testing on Sunday in Zigong, southwest China's Sichuan Province, providing a solution for low altitude logistics transportation, according to the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).

A Wing Loong-2 took off from Lantian airport to conduct a regional logistics flight mission at an altitude of 3,000 meters with a flight time of 15 minutes. It has previously obtained China's first airworthiness certification for a 4-metric-ton UAV and carried out various missions under special conditions. The test flight propelled the application of the Wing Loong-2 in regional transportation, emergency rescue and meteorological observation.

At present, the AIVC Zigong assembly base can meet the annual output of 200 UAVs.
