WDS 2024: AVIC WL-10B to be delivered to Royal Saudi Air Force


中國防務代表中國航空技術進出口總公司CATIC確認，航空工業集團公司AVIC翼龍-10B，中航翼龍-10也稱爲WL-10的出口型，將很快在沙烏地皇家空軍RSAF服役。

China Defence, on behalf of China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation (CATIC), has confirmed that the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) Wing Loong-10B, an export variant of the CATIC Wing Loong-10 (also dubbed as WL-10), will soon enter service with the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF).


在2月4日至8日在利雅得舉行的2024年世界防務展（WDS）上，該公司官員告訴簡氏防務周刊，與基本版相比，出口版本的有效載荷將有所不同。該公司官員還透露，基本型號WL-10無人機和稍低續航型號WL-10A正在中國空軍服役。

With the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) displayed at the World Defense Show (WDS) 2024 held in Riyadh from 4 to 8 February, the company official told Janes that the payloads will be different for the export variant compared with the baseline variant. The company official also revealed that the base variant WL-10 UAV and the lower endurance variant WL-10A are in service with China's People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).


除了WL-10B，CATIC還展示了一系列可以安裝在無人機上的武器。其中包括TY-90空對空導彈、AG-300/M空對地導彈、FT-7A/W激光制導炸彈、YJ-9E反艦導彈、TL-20制導炸彈和LS-6/100NLS微型制導炸彈。

Alongside the WL-10B, CATIC displayed a range of weapons that can be fitted onto the UAV. These include the TY-90 air-to-air missile, AG-300/M air-to-ground missile, FT-7A/W laser-guided bomb, YJ-9E anti-ship missile, TL-20 guided bomb, and LS-6/100NLS miniature-guided bomb.


高空長航時 HALE 的WL-10，具有大翼展下單翼，包括一個凸起的機頭部分（包含背側天線駝峰）、三點式起落架、含方向舵的 V 形尾翼組件和後置渦輪噴氣發動機。

The high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) WL-10 features a relatively low-wing cranked planform with slender fuselage that incorporates a bulged nose section (incorporating a dorsal antenna hump), a tricycle undercarriage, a V-shaped tail assembly incorporating ruddervators, and a rear-mounted turbojet engine.


WL-10B有一個大的梯形背側發動機進氣口，機身後部有一個隱藏的排氣口，表明是單發動力。無人機配有通信天線和U/VHF數據鏈。一個光電/紅外 （EO/IR） 傳感器安裝在通信天線前方的腹側。

The WL-10B has a large trapezoidal dorsal engine intake and a concealed exhaust at the rear of the fuselage, suggesting a single engine. The UAV is fitted with a communication antenna and ultra/very-high-frequency (U/VHF) datalinks. An additional electro-optic/infrared (EO/IR) sensor will be fitted ventrally ahead of the communication antenna.
