As reported by Scientificamerican, on Monday, March 10, 2014, China has tested an unmanned aircraft that is designed to clear the fog on Saturday, March 8, 2014. China's local media reported that this is an important step for the domestic aviation industry in China.
At the opening of the annual meeting of parliament last week, the China's Prime Minister, Li Keqiang said that China will declare war against the pollution. The unmanned aircraft manufactured by Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC).

Even in heavy fog this UAV can fly with the accurate route," said Guo Haijun, an engineer who was involved in the development of UAVs. The 'parafoil' aircraft types is equipped with the parachute and able to carry heavy loads and the plane is also suitable to support breeding in agriculture.
