CDADI [[V/STOL]] [[UAV]]s are Chinese [[experimental aircraft|experimental UAVs]] developed by [[Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute]] (CDADI), also known as the 611th (Research) Institute (611所), some of which has developed into production models and entered service with various Chinese governmental establishments.
==CADI-1==
CADI-1 is a Chinese [[miniature UAV]] developed by CDADI to explore [[VTOL]] knowledge.<ref>[http://ip.com/patfam/zh/46738947 CADI-1]</ref> CADI-1 is powered by two electric motors that drive propellers, and it has [[twin tail|twin-tail]] layout. CADI-1 operates like [[Ryan X-13 Vertijet]] to achieve VTOL. A portion of the wing can be folded a hundred eighty degrees and hence the complete name of CADI-1 is VTOL Shape Varying Aircraft (Chui-Zhi Qi-Jiang Bian-Ti Fei-Xing-Qi, 垂直起降变体飞行器).<ref>[http://zhuanli.baidu.com/pages/sipo/20112045/20/218a83ba06ab247de314d714cd97fd23_0.html CADI-1 UAV]</ref>
==VD200==
VD200 is a VTOL aircraft developed by CDADI and it is a [[tail-sitter]] in [[flying wing]] layout with two [[vertical stabilizer]]s. Propulsion is provided by a two three-blade propeller driven engines with one mounted on each wing. After taking off, the entire fuselage would pitch 90 degrees and flies like a normal fixed wing UAV.<ref>[http://mil.huanqiu.com/china/2013-11/4518346.html VD200]</ref>
==VMA-01==
VMA-01 (also known as VMA for short) is a VTOL UAV with folding wings. VMA-01 is in a flying wing layout powered by a pair of two-blade propellers driven by tractor engines mounted at the [[leading edge]] of the wing, and payload is sandwiched between the two propeller-driving engines. VMA-01 has [[twin tail|twin-tail]] configuration and the outer portion of the wing can be folded.<ref>[http://news.ifeng.com/mil/bigpicture/detail_2012_06/05/15066151_0.shtml VMA-01]</ref> Specification:<ref>[http://news.ifeng.com/mil/bigpicture/detail_2012_06/05/15066151_1.shtml VMA-01 UAV]</ref>
