最近，国外著名军事爱好者网站EAST PENDULUM（东方钟摆）首次公布了，某型舰载无人机前机身和前起落架进行弹射试验的照片，该网站分析猜测认为该舰载无人机可能为中航成都飞机工业公司（以下简称成飞）研发的陆基“风影”高隐身无人机的舰载改型。如果消息属实的话，该无人机将很有可能是我航空部门传说已久的“利剑”舰载无人机改型之后，第二种可在航母上起降的大型固定翼舰载无人机。那么，它的研制目的与背景是什么，与“利剑”舰载无人机是一个什么关系，本文根据国内外公开资料做一背景解读。航空母舰作为海上最重要的移动作战平台，其发展至今已成为当代海军强国不可或缺的攻防利器。舰载机则是航空母舰编队武器系统攻防体系的核心，依靠舰载机强大的作战能力，航空母舰编队才能在广袤的海洋上纵横驰骋。
随着现代科技的发展，除了有人舰载机外，无人舰载机也越来越受到各海军强国的重视。特别是当前，舰载无人机的发展趋势是大型化，智能化、高性能、多功能化，其定位已从过去的执行侦察监视、通信中继和毁伤评估等任务的作战支援装备，升级为未来能够对海、陆、空重要目标实施精确打击的主战装备。特别是美国X-47B大型飞翼高亚音速无人机于2013年成功实现舰上弹射起飞和拦阻回收，将对未来海军和航母的作战方式产生深远的乃至革命性的影响。近年来，随着电磁弹射技术的不断成熟，电磁弹射装置凭借其系统更简洁、重量更轻、弹射效率更高，对飞机的适应性更强，弹射系统所占的空间更小而逐渐受到美国海军和东亚某国海军的青睐。
因此，将电磁弹射装置与舰载固定翼无人机相结合，可以缩短起飞滑跑距离，提高舰载无人机作战出勤率和作战能力，具有十分重要的战略意义 。非官方权威人士所提到的该舰载弹射无人机原型——“风影”高隐身大型无人机在国内披露的消息极少，一直处于严格的保密状态，国外网站曾曝光这种无人机在东北某地进行电磁弹射试验的卫星照片，但消息相对较多的是其专门用于出口的低档系列产品——“云影”高空高速无人机。在2016举行的珠海国际航空展上，中国“云影”无人机首次公开亮相，才让大家对其相关细节有所了解。据介绍，“云影”无人机机长9.05米，翼展17.8米，正常起飞重量3吨，最大载弹量达400公斤，能够在1.4万米高空巡航飞行，其最大速度为620公里/小时。由于其复合材料整体机翼油箱装有占整机自重一半的燃油，大大提升了该无人机的航程。
它能够在高空连续飞行6小时，最大航程已超过3000公里。该机还具有优良的气动和雷达减缩特性，采用小后掠角大展弦比下单翼、V型尾翼、背负式S弯进气道。作为具有国际先进水平的高端察打一体无人机，“云影”无人机集合了无人机领域最先进的技术，其复合材料应用率达到60%，大幅减轻了飞机重量。它可以自主发现目标、自主决策攻击，自动航线规划、自动火力打击，是国内首种具有人工智能功能的察打一体无人机。从目前仅有的几张“风影”无人机和国内公开披露的少量信息推断，“风影”无人机和“云影”无人机最大的区别之一是其隐身性能更强，很多机身细节做了进一步的雷达减缩处理；区别之二是由两台中国航发研制的涡扇500小型涡扇发动机（500公斤X2）替换了“云影”无人机所采用的的一台涡喷-11C发动机（1000公斤X1）。
虽然总推力都是1000公斤左右，但由于涡扇发动机的耗油率一般只有涡喷发动机的1/2，“风影”无人机的最大航程很有可能翻倍，达到6000公里以上，其续航能力十分惊人。除此之外，“风影”无人机的最大载弹量也有所增加，由“云影”无人机的400公斤增加到“风影”无人机的500公斤左右。军事观察家推测，“风影”的舰载无人机改型在采用弹射起飞技术之后，其优良的远距航程能力几乎不会下降多少，由于又具有优异的隐身和高空高亚音速速飞行能力，可远距离对敌方航母作战群，军事基地，敌重要岛屿，港口目标进行长时间的实时监测，而不会被对方发现，从而充分掌握制信息权。
由于其最大载弹量仅有500公斤，很难对航母和大型海上舰船进行致命打击，因此很可能主要执行对海侦察任务，执行对地打击任务并不是海军舰载型的重点。而利剑无人机的舰载改型虽然航程较短，只有3000至4000公里左右，但凭借其更为优良的隐身性能，更为优良的弹舱载弹量（1至1.5吨），更高的最大飞行时速，可在“风影”舰载无人机的指引之下，对敌方航母或海上大型舰船进行首波致命性的打击。笔者推测，在美军黄貂鱼无人机还在测试的当下，新一代舰载无人机很可能在进度上领先美军无人机，有大概率成为世界第一种服役的大型无人舰载飞机。（作者署名：小鹰说科技）

Recently, the famous foreign military enthusiast website EAST PENDULUM (Oriental Pendulum) first published a photo of the ejection test of a front-mounted fuselage and front landing gear of a certain type of aircraft. The website analyzed and speculated that the ship-borne drone might The ship-based modification of the land-based "wind shadow" high stealth drone developed by AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Chengfei). If the news is true, the drone will most likely be a large-scale fixed-wing ship that can take off and land on the aircraft carrier after the modified "Sword" ship-borne drone in my aviation department. Man-machine. Then, what is the purpose and background of its development, and what is the relationship with the "Sword" shipborne drone, this article based on domestic and foreign public information to do a background interpretation. As the most important mobile combat platform at sea, the aircraft carrier has become an indispensable weapon of attack and defense for the modern naval power. The carrier-based aircraft is the core of the aircraft carrier's formation weapon system's offensive and defensive system. By relying on the ship's powerful combat capability, the aircraft carrier formation can compete on the vast ocean.
With the development of modern science and technology, in addition to manned aircraft, unmanned carrier aircraft are increasingly receiving the attention of various naval powers. Especially at present, the development trend of ship-borne drones is large-scale, intelligent, high-performance, multi-functional, and its positioning has been upgraded from the past combat support equipment for performing reconnaissance surveillance, communication relay and damage assessment tasks. The main battle equipment that can accurately strike the important targets of sea, land and air in the future. In particular, the US X-47B large-wing high-sonic submarine drone successfully achieved ship-based catapult take-off and interception and recovery in 2013, which will have far-reaching and revolutionary impact on the future naval and aircraft carrier operations. In recent years, with the continuous maturity of electromagnetic ejection technology, the electromagnetic ejection device relies on its system to be more compact, lighter in weight, higher in ejection efficiency, more adaptable to the aircraft, and the space occupied by the ejection system is smaller and gradually received by the United States. The navy and the navy of a certain country in East Asia.
Therefore, combining the electromagnetic ejection device with the ship-mounted fixed-wing UAV can shorten the take-off and run distance and improve the operational attendance and combat capability of the ship-borne drone, which is of great strategic significance. The prototype of the ship-borne catapult drone mentioned by the non-official authorities - "Wind Shadow" high stealth large drones have rarely disclosed in the country, and have been in strict secrecy. Foreign websites have exposed this The man-machine carried out satellite photos of the electromagnetic ejection test in a certain place in the northeast, but the relatively large number of news is the low-end series of products specially used for export - "Yunying" high-altitude high-speed drone. At the Zhuhai International Air Show held in 2016, the Chinese “Cloud Shadow” drone was unveiled for the first time, so that everyone could understand the details. According to reports, the "Cloud Shadow" drone has a length of 9.05 meters, a wingspan of 17.8 meters, a normal take-off weight of 3 tons, a maximum bomb capacity of 400 kilograms, and can fly at an altitude of 14,000 meters. Its maximum speed is 620 kilometers / hour. Because the composite wing fuel tank is filled with fuel that accounts for half of the weight of the whole machine, the voyage of the drone is greatly improved.
It can fly for 6 hours at high altitude and the maximum range has exceeded 3,000 kilometers. The machine also has excellent aerodynamic and radar reduction characteristics, with a small sweep angle and a large aspect ratio of the single wing, V-tail, and piggyback S-bend inlet. As a high-end multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle with international advanced level, the “Cloud Shadow” UAV combines the most advanced technology in the field of drones, and its composite application rate reaches 60%, which greatly reduces the weight of the aircraft. It can independently discover targets, autonomous decision-making attacks, automatic route planning, and automatic firepower strikes. It is the first domestically-built one-of-a-kind drone with artificial intelligence. Inferred from the only few "wind shadow" drones and a small amount of information publicly disclosed in China, one of the biggest differences between the "wind shadow" drone and the "cloud shadow" drone is that its stealth performance is stronger. Many of the fuselage details have been further reduced by radar; the second difference is that the turbofan 500 small turbofan engine (500 kg X2) developed by two China Aerospace replaced one of the "Cloud Shadow" drones. Turbojet-11C engine (1000 kg X1).
Although the total thrust is about 1000 kg, the fuel consumption of the turbofan engine is generally only 1/2 of that of the turbojet engine. The maximum range of the "wind shadow" drone is likely to double, reaching more than 6,000 km. The endurance is amazing. In addition, the maximum bomb load of the "Wind Shadow" drone has also increased, from 400 kg for the "Cloud Shadow" drone to about 500 kg for the "Wind Shadow" drone. Military observers speculate that after the adoption of the catapult take-off technology, the "wind shadow" ship-based drone modification will have almost no degradation in its excellent long-range range capability, due to its excellent stealth and high-altitude and high-sonic speed capability. It can carry out long-term real-time monitoring of enemy aircraft carrier battle groups, military bases, enemy important islands and port targets at a long distance without being discovered by the other party, so as to fully grasp the right to control information.
Because its maximum bomb capacity is only 500 kilograms, it is difficult to strike fatal attacks on aircraft carriers and large-scale marine vessels. Therefore, it is very likely that the sea-reconnaissance mission will be mainly carried out. The implementation of the ground-attack mission is not the focus of the naval carrier type. The ship's modified version of the Lijian drone has a short range of only 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers, but with its better stealth performance, it has a better bomb load capacity (1 to 1.5 tons). The high maximum flight speed can be the first wave of fatal blows to enemy aircraft carriers or large ships at sea under the guidance of the "Wind Shadow" ship-borne drone. The author speculates that in the current test of the US military stingray drone, the new generation of ship-borne drones is likely to lead the US military drones in terms of progress, with a high probability of becoming the world's first large unmanned carrier to serve. aircraft.
