What is WZ-X isn't it the wz-8?
Chinese UCAV/CCA/flying wing drones (ISR, A2A, A2G) thread
- Thread starter VESSEL
- Start date
No, its the massive flying wing in Malan. It's B-2 sized but B-21 shaped but has narrower and less swept wing for high endurance and efficiency.
the more I compare both, the more I get the feeling, this is not the CH-7 but WZ-X!
WZ-X is the tentative name given to this thing spotted on satellite earlier this year, with a 52m wingspan
WZ-8 is a totally different thing! But don't you think a little bit of initiative on your own and searching on the internet or the forum itself would have cleared this up?
Sometimes I feel like it's like school, where many people live by the motto "It's better to ask three times than to think once!"
Your right, this is definitely something else. The drone looks like it has large dual wheel main and front gears and the landing gear seems to retract to the side into the wings instead of to the front into the body. But I still don't think it is the WZ-X, the landing gear seems oddly arranged for something that large and also too narrow. B-2 and B-21 has further spaced landing gear that retracts frontward like the CH-7.

Are we sure it's even a UAV?
Admittedly it doesn't appear to have a cockpit. But then again, it might have an oddly-shaped one?
The fuselage is too thin to be manned. In fact, it probably has no weapons bay.
