According to the official Weibo of the "Aviation Industry", the special conditions for the Wing Loong-2 weather-type unmanned aerial vehicle system have been officially promulgated. The Wing Loong-2 meteorological UAV system is a key model of large-scale fixed-wing UAV for civilian use. The promulgation of its special conditions not only fills the gaps in related domestic fields, but alsoIt also provides an important reference and basis for the airworthiness certification of other civilian models of the Wing Loong-2 series and similar large fixed-wing UAVs.
The release of the special conditions is a breakthrough "from 0 to 1", laying a solid foundation for the construction of the airworthiness standard system for my country's large-scale unmanned aircraft systems, and effectively promoting the standardized and large-scale application of drone technology in the civilian field.
The Wing Loong-2 meteorological UAV system has broken through the limitations of complex meteorological and geographical conditions, and has overcome the key technologies of the UAV anti-icing system. It has the characteristics of long range, long airtime, large mounting capacity, and strong environmental adaptability.
It can complete multi-parameter and three-dimensional meteorological parameter collection in complex meteorological environments over plateaus and mountains under strong convection and icing conditions, and can implement accurate and efficient meteorological detection and artificial weather modification operations in a "side detection and side broadcasting" method.
This model has carried out multiple rounds of normalized artificial rain (snow) operations and meteorological emergency support operations, including regular artificial rain (snow) operations and tests in the Qilian Mountains, Panxi region, Western Sichuan Plateau, and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
In 2024, the Wing Loong-2H meteorological drone successfully implemented the first normalized artificial rainfall operation in Guizhou Province, providing meteorological emergency support for the "3·15" forest fire in Yajiang County and the "3·22" sudden mountain fire in Shimian County, giving full play to the role of shadow operations in ensuring water resources security and ecological security.
