Interesting. AVIC Shaanxi is apparently developing a very large unmanned cargo UAV named IbisShadow-60 (鹮影60).

If it uses four AEP100 engines, its total power will be an astonishing 3,600 kilowatts, approaching the 3,800 kilowatts of the An-24. This power is extremely impressive for a drone.

The tail section and overall wing design is rather close to the Y-8/9, though.
