From Henri K blog we now know the name TianYing
There is a "proliferation" of flying-wing drones in China now - After 4 years of development, the stealth drone Tian Ying (天鹰) designed by CASIC 3th, subsidiary of the CASIC group and specialized in the design of cruise missiles, has made 3 flights recently.
