China's Stealth Superdrone Soars as US Bans DJI and Taiwan Teams Up with Poland

This is you Drone Technology Daily: UAV News & Reviews podcast.China's CH-7 high-altitude, high-speed stealth drone has successfully completed its maiden flight at an airfield in Northwest China, marking a major leap in aerospace technology, according to the Global Times and China Daily. This twin-engine unmanned aerial vehicle, developed by the 11th Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, promises enhanced reconnaissance and strike capabilities at extreme altitudes and speeds. Meanwhile, Taiwan and Poland have signed a memorandum of understanding to codevelop drones, focusing on a non-China supply chain, as reported by the Taipei Times, with Taiwan's Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung highlighting joint ventures involving firms like Thunder Tiger and GEOSAT.On the regulatory front, the United States Federal Aviation Administration enforces mandatory Remote ID broadcasting for all drones over 250 grams, requiring location and identification data unless in approved areas, per ZenaTech and UAV Coach updates. The looming 2025 National Defense Authorization Act deadline on December 23 could ban new DJI drone imports if no security audit occurs, potentially disrupting the market where DJI holds over 70 percent consumer share.Shifting to products, the CH-7 stands out with its stealth design, high-altitude endurance exceeding 20,000 meters, and supersonic speeds, outperforming predecessors like the CH-5 in payload capacity for precision strikes. Technical analysis shows its composite materials reduce radar cross-section by 80 percent, ideal for enterprise military applications.In commercial realms, drones now power urban air mobility and agriculture, with global market projections hitting 54 billion dollars by 2030. Consumer models aid photography and inspections, while enterprise UAVs deliver in logistics.Experts like those at War on the Rocks warn that Russia and China lead in AI autonomy, enabling high-G maneuvers no human could match. For safety, listeners, always maintain visual line of sight, stay below 400 feet altitude, register your drone, and avoid flying over people or under influence.Practical takeaway: Audit your fleet for Remote ID compliance today and explore non-DJI alternatives like those from Taiwan-Polish partnerships.Looking ahead, expect swarms and counter-drone tech to dominate, unleashing American dominance as per White House initiatives.Thank you for tuning in, listeners.
