Yilong (Pterosaur) UAVs have been popular in the global military product market in recent years due to their extraordinary avionics system and operation performances.

Aero Engine Corporation will showcase more than 20 kinds of aero engines and gas turbines, with over half of them making their Airshow China debut, including the electric hybrid distributed propulsion system, hydrogen fuel engine, and low-cost engine.

A Yilong-10 high-altitude and high-speed UAV coated in matte black, with a wingspan of 10 m (11 yds) and a height of 2 m (7 fts), is parked at the outdoor apron opposite Exhibition Hall 1. A Yilong-1e, an all-clad multi-purpose large UAV that was developed this year, is now covered by a yellow canvas near the Yilong-10 and will be revealed to the public during this year's Airshow China.

In addition, China Aerospace Science and Technology will bring its latest products to Airshow China, including its GQ-680 unmanned helicopter, which has a maximum range of 1,400 km (870 miles).
