It is actually a good thing, I'd say, to see there is such a proliferation of various ideas and designs, as it points to a healthy and diversified knowledge base. PLA is bound to take some of those designs, perhaps even before they get a chance to be known to the public.

Completely agreed. You need flow of ideas and need to encourage creative thinking. Many ideas won't pan out, but that's how things should be like.

Now it's even more difficult ! Can anyone help me out ....

For me it seems as if the original concept of this configuration (aka mini-Global Hawk) was the single engined Sky Wing (2011), ....

CAC UAV - Sky Wing I - 29.6.2011.jpg

which was then modified and reappeared (2014) as the twin engined SkyWing II or Wind Shadow ....

CAC UAV Sky Wing II Tian Yi - 23.12.14 - 4 mod.jpg

and now (2016) again different to the first one the single engined Cloud Shadow !???

CAC Cloud Shadow UAV - Zhuhai - 27.10.16 - 6.jpg


Or am I wrong ???
