The first flight of an unmanned air vehicle model Xiang Long held in 2009 year, and due to the fact that the device has successfully coped with all the tasks, the project received further support, in particular, in the near future it is planned to manufacture at least 5 aircrafts of this model.

Drone Xiang Long has a very impressive dimensions, comparable with large aircraft, particularly when the device length in 14,3 meters, wingspan of UAV is 25 meters. Despite this fact, the design of an unmanned aircraft was carried out with the use of "stealth" technology and therefore, the air cleaner has low visibility to radar equipment.

The power plant of the Xiang Long drone is represented by a jet engine, which is capable of accelerating this device to a maximum speed of 870 km / h, while the maximum flight range of the device is 7 thousand kilometers.
