[China's first commercial-grade small and medium-sized pure solar drone successfully made its first flight] On November 11, reporters learned from the 11th Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation that on November 11, 2026, China's independently developed "Light Cavalry" small and medium-sized solar drone successfully made its first flight at an airport in northwest China. As a pure electric aircraft with solar energy as its only power source, the "Light Cavalry" has core advantages such as long endurance, rapid deployment, and convenient support. This model is 3.2 meters long, has a wingspan of 8 meters, and has a maximum designed endurance of 30 hours. Through modular design, it can quickly adapt to various mission loads such as communication and remote sensing. The aircraft can take off using a vehicle, and the ground preparation time only takes 20 minutes, with rapid deployment capabilities.
