Chaoyi CY UAVs are Chinese UAVs developed by Beijing Chao-Yi (meaning Super Wing) Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. (Chaoyi, 北京超翼技术研究所有限公司), some of which have entered service with Chinese law enforcement agencies.
CY-105
CY-105 is an experimental UAV developed to explore application of air scoop and cascade of blades (Feng-dou Ye-Shan, 风斗叶栅) on aircraft. CY-105 is a fixed-wing in high wing configuration with tricycle landing gear and twin tail. Propulsion is provided by a pair of two-blade propeller driven tractor engines mounted on the wing. The cascade of blades and air scoop can be either deployed or not deployed in flight, and when they are not deployed, CY-105 operates just like any other ordinary fixed-wing UAVs. When the cascade of blades and air scoop are deployed, CY-105 can fly as slow as 18 km/hr and still have great maneuverability, and these devices also enables CY-105 to shorten its take-off and landing distance to only two third of that of other conventional fixed wing UAV of the same size.[1]
CY-208
CY-208 is a fixed-wing UAV developed by Chaoyi in conventional layout with high wing configuration and tricycle landing gear. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven tractor engine mounted in the nose. CY-208 is intended for various missions. Specification:[2]

Jet powered drone
Jet powered drone is a fixed-wing UAV developed by Chaoyi in twin boom layout with swept wing in mid wing configuration and retractable tricycle landing gear. The complete name of this drone is high speed jet powered drone. As its implies, it is mainly intended as a high speed target drone. Propulsion is provided by a jet ening mounted atop of the fuselage.[3]
