ChangKong-2 supersonic target drone was derived from the ChangKong-1

Sooooo, which is which? :D

I am pretty certain the red letters that's printed on the photo reads "Kong Chang" (meaning "tall and long") - maybe its the wrong way I am reading or maybe its just the way Chinese name get reversed like the given name and surname... So it could be the ChangKong-2 like you pointed out.

BTW, I search ChangKong-2 and I get nothing in any type of image search (and reverse image search). So it might not even be a UAV. Maybe we are all wrong. It looks too small to be WZ-5/ChangKong series of UAV. It might just be some type of gliding bomb that's launched from J-7.

LOL, but yeh, "someone" needs to goto China and verify this for us... I volunteer Deino!! :D

Maybe You go back a bit and read again instead of making jokes !

I only said it "looks like" and as such not "it is".

Following again sinodefence:

ChangKong-2

The ChangKong-2 supersonic target drone was derived from the ChangKong-1. The CK-2 programme began in the early 1990s in response to the PLAAF’s requirement for a supersonic target drone to test its new generation air-to-air missile. No detailed information on the CK-2 is available, but it is understood that the drone first flew in the early 1990s, and its first successful supersonic flight took place in early 1995. The drone features a digital flight control, which was seen as a major breakthrough in China's UAV technology.

So I tend to say that might fit .. at least for a supersonic design.

Er... the wording look something like Gao Chang 02 (高长 02) in traditional Chinese.

Yes ... and no !

Yes, it's in a museum and quite older & no, it's (IMO) not the WZ-5 since it has completely different intake, fuselage and so on.

I tend to say it's that strange and still secret Chang Kong-2

Chang Kong -2 is a discontinued program and the prototype is displayed in a musem in a public institution (NanHang), so, no, it is not "strange".

essentially a turbo jet supersonic missile with a recovery chute.

btw,

I received my UAV 2011 roundup from AIAA Aerospace America yesterday.
Chang Kong - 2 was listed as one of them right below Chang Kong - 1. and WZ-5.

supersonic and goes up to 50000 ft.
