AVIC Dark Sword

The AVIC Dark Sword (Chinese: 暗剑; pinyin: Àn Jiàn)[1] is a stealthy supersonic unmanned combat aerial vehicle from the People's Republic of China.

It is being developed by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China's Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute for the air superiority or deep strike roles.

[3] A conceptual model appeared at the 2006 China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition[2] Early concepts featured a conical planform, static foreplane canards, a wide tail section with canted vertical stabilizers, swept wings, and a single-engine with forward-swept chin-mounted intake.

It was at least 12 meters long and shared low-observability features with contemporary Chinese aircraft including a diverterless supersonic inlet.

[2][3] The drone could potentially be paired with Chengdu J-20 stealth fighter, specifically the twin-seat J-20S for aircraft teaming.
