New imagery confirms WZ-X stealth HALE drone wing configuration

New photos and satellite imagery provide the clearest view yet of China’s very large low-observable flying-wing UAV (WZ-X), confirming a stepped chord change between inner and outer wing sections and a shallow serrated trailing edge. If accurate, the configuration suggests a high-altitude, long-endurance stealth ISR platform with unusual planform tradeoffs that could affect radar signature and efficiency.
