The ChangKong-1 is a radio-controlled , jet-powered subsonic unmanned aerial vehicle developed from the Soviet Lavochkin La-17C. Developed by Nanjing Institute of Aeronautics in the late 1960s, the ChangKong-1 has been in serving with the PLAAF since the late 1970s for target drone and nuclear air sampling roles.

長(zhǎng)空（ChangKong）-1是一種無(wú)線(xiàn)電-控制、噴氣動(dòng)力亞音速無(wú)人機(jī)基于蘇聯(lián)Lavochkin La-17C型發(fā)展。在1960年后期由南京航空學(xué)院發(fā)展，長(zhǎng)空-1型從1970年后期以后在PLAAF服役用于靶機(jī)和核空氣取樣任務(wù)。

The PRC obtained a small number of the Lavochkin La-17 radio-controlled, ramjet-powered target drone from the Soviet union in the late 1950s. These drones were being sued for airborne- and air-defence weapon testing and practicing. Acquisition of additional units was unsuccessful due to Moscow’s decision in 1960 to stop all of its technical aids to the PRC. This forced the PLA to develop its own indigenous target drone ChangKong-1.

在1950年后期中國(guó)從蘇聯(lián)獲得了少量Lavochkin La-17型無(wú)線(xiàn)電-控制，噴氣動(dòng)力靶機(jī)。這些無(wú)人機(jī)用于機(jī)載-和防空武器測(cè)試和練習(xí)。另外的單位在1960年由于莫斯科決定停止對(duì)中國(guó)所有它的技術(shù)幫助而無(wú)法獲得。這迫使PLA發(fā)展本國(guó)的靶機(jī)長(zhǎng)空-1型。

The ChangKong-1 project began in the early 1960s, with the development work carried out by the PLAAF Weapon Test & Training Base. The chief designer of the programme is General Zhao Xu, who is known as ‘the Father of Chinese uav’. Several La-17C examples were dissembled by Chinese engineers for study and reverse engineering. Because of the PRC’s incapability to produce a suitable ramjet engine, the indigenous target drone was powered by a Wopen-6 (WP-6) turbojet engine originally developed for the Shenyang J-6 (MiG-19 Farmer) fighter.

長(zhǎng)空-1型計(jì)劃在1960年早期開(kāi)始，由PLAAF武器測(cè)試和訓(xùn)練基地進(jìn)行發(fā)展工作。計(jì)劃的設(shè)計(jì)總負(fù)責(zé)人是中國(guó)工程院院士趙煦將軍，也被譽(yù)為‘中國(guó)無(wú)人機(jī)之父’。一些La-17C型樣機(jī)是為研究和反向工程被中國(guó)工程師掩飾。因?yàn)橹袊?guó)沒(méi)有能力生產(chǎn)一種合適的沖壓式噴氣發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，國(guó)產(chǎn)靶機(jī)動(dòng)力由一臺(tái)渦噴-6（WP-6）渦噴發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)提供，最初用于沈飛J-6（米格-19“農(nóng)夫”）戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)。

The ChangKong-1 successfully flew in December 1966, but the development programme was severely disrupted by the political impact of the ‘Culture Revolution’ in the 1960s~70s. The ChangKong-1 development was resumed by Nanjing Institute of Aeronautics (now Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics, NUAA) in the 1970s and the development did not finish until 1976, eight years after the project began. The ChangKong-1 entered PLAAF service in the late 1970s for weapon testing and air defence training.

長(zhǎng)空-1成功地在1966年12月飛行，但是發(fā)展計(jì)劃由于某些原因在1960年~70年受到干擾。在1970年長(zhǎng)空-1發(fā)展被南京航空學(xué)院重新開(kāi)始（現(xiàn)在南京航空航天大學(xué)，NUAA）和發(fā)展直到1976年前沒(méi)有完成，這已經(jīng)在計(jì)劃開(kāi)始8年之后。在1970年后期長(zhǎng)空-1型用于武器測(cè)試和防空訓(xùn)練進(jìn)入PLAAF服役。
