Anybody knows the payload of the CH-5? Seems like estimates vary very wildly, from 480kg to 900kg to 1200kg

Endurance estimate also goes from 20 hours to 35 hours to 60 hours

Clarification on the flight time is explained at 2:27. 60 hours is with light payload. 40 hours for normal operation.

At 5:00, it is mentioned that 480kg payload is for CAIG Wing Loong II.

That's weird, the CH-5 with a MTOW of 3300kg has a 1000kg payload while the WingLoong2 with a MTOW of 4200kg only has a payload of 480kg

Either something is wrong or the Wing Loong 2 has a really weak engine

Or an extremely high fuel fraction. It seems it can fly at 370 km for 32 hours at a full load of 480 kg.
