Evidence & current status

Official Chinese reporting asserts service status. The cited public display does not independently establish the configuration, fleet size or flight performance; these remain unverified here.

Role & programme

A Chinese flying-wing uncrewed combat aircraft publicly displayed in 2019 and described in Chinese official reporting.

The ministry-hosted report discusses the parade aircraft and an official service claim. A parade appearance alone does not establish a flight-test record, delivered fleet size or every advertised sensor and autonomy function. This entry therefore records the public identification while retaining uncertainty about the operational configuration. It does not import specifications from similarly shaped demonstrators.

Sourced specifications

Figures apply to the named configuration. Maximum values are not guaranteed operating performance.
