According to unofficial statements by independent experts, the construction of Chinese military multipurpose unmanned aerial Lijan machine model is very similar to the unmanned aerial vehicle model Northrop Grumman X-47, that is indeed the case, however, given the very long development of the Chinese aircraft manufacturers, most likely in terms of aircraft performance and design characteristics, both drone differ from each other.

Chinese unmanned aerial vehicle has about 12 meters length and wingspan constituting 18 meters, which requires for its operation the presence of specially prepared runway, however, in terms of aerodynamic properties, it means the air has a very high performance.

Power section Chinese UAV Lijan represented by one turbojet Tumanski R-11, that allows the device to accelerate to speeds of the order 800 km \ h., While, the effective range of action of this air agent is about 2 thousand kilometers.
