Nah it is huge. Even taller than the J-20. Your specs says that the height is 5.4 meters.
Are you sure this is the description for this particular UAV?
Only single tail on this one.
Martian is talking about a completely different UAV. This UAV, Xiang Long, is used for high altitude/long distance reconnaissance while the one Martian talked about is an attack UAV.

Sorry about the confusion. I mixed up the Soar Dragons. Aviation Week had called an earlier Chinese UAV a Soar Dragon as well.
"Footage of Soar Dragon, which is similar in configuration and role to the U.S Global Hawk, was recently posted on the internet appearing to show the UAV undergoing taxi trials – conceptual ones, of course.
All pictures D.Barrie/AW&ST"

Two questions. Is the new UAV named Soar Dragon? Are the Soar Dragon specifications for the twin-tailed Aviation Week UAV pictured above or for the new plane in the spy picture by HouShanghai?

The guy got the picture wrong. Both the tail and wingshapes are different.
NVMD this is from 2008.
O.k ... maybe it's because of the heat this day or because I was with four kind in the Zoo today ...
Both UAV's - the smaller global-hawk-like and this new box-wing-thing - have been spotted at CAC ... but only the smaller one is designed by CAC whereas the larger one by GAIC & CAC !???
And finally ... the small one is the called the "Sky Wing" and the new one is the "Soaring Eagle" or "Soar Dragon" ... I don't get it !
