Silver Eagle

Silver Eagle (Yin-Diao or Yindiao, 银雕) is a fixed-wing UAV developed by Quanhua in conventional layout with high-wing configuration and tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven by a tractor engine mounted in the nose. Externally, Quanhua Silver Eagle looks identical to two other Chinese UAVs, Chunyi CY-03 Big White and Iflyer Big White 3, because all three share the same airframe. However, the flight control systems are complete different because each developer separately developed their own indigenous flight control systems. The performance of Silver Eagle is similar to the other two Chinese UAVs due to the same hardware used.^[14] Specification:
