NRIST I-series UAVs are Chinese [[UAV]]s developed by [http://www.nrist.com/ Nanjing Research Institute of Simulation Technology (南京模拟技术研究所)] (NRIST), also known as the 60th Research Institute of [[People's Liberation Army General Staff Department]] (总参六十所), an [[ISO 9000|ISO 9001]] ceritified research/production facility headquartered in [[Nanjing]].

==I-2==
I-2 remotely piloted vehicle is an unmanned rotary wing UAV is in conventional helicopter layout and it has tricyle landing gear. It is primarily intended to be a training aid to air defense crews by simulating combat maneuvors of attack helicopters in combat senarios. In addition to the three-blade main rotor, there is also an two-blade propeller driven [[tractor configuration|tractor engine]] mounted in the nose, but I-2 lacks any tail rotor. Simulation I-2 unmanned rotary wing UAV performs can also be used in tactic development. Unlike most unmanned helicopters that takes-off on their own, I-2 adopts an unusual way to take-off of catapult assisted take-off: after engine started, the UAV is can be catapulted into the air. In addition to vertical landing, it can also land by taxiing.

==I-50==
I-50 is a fixed wing UAV developed by NRIST to simulate combat maneuvores of modern jet fighters. I-50 has the identical layout of modern fighter such as [[Eurofighter Typhoon]], [[Dassault Rafale]], and [[Saab JAS 39 Gripen]]. Unlike most other NRIST developed propeller-driven UAVs that are powered by [[tractor configuration|tractor engine]], propulsion of I-50 is provided by a two-blade propeller driven [[pusher configuration|pusher engine]] mounted on the [[empennage]].
