The CH-10 VTOL is constructed from composite material, which contributes to its lightweight and durable structure. It has fuel-efficient design parameters and can achieve high-speed flight. The UAV also has a high level of autonomy, which allows it to carry out tasks with minimal human intervention.

The CH-10 VTOL can be used without the need for a runway, which expands its operational scope compared to traditional fixed-wing drones. It is capable of both reconnaissance and combat roles and is designed to accompany large and medium-sized naval ships or armed forces. The UAV can perform multiple types of intelligence missions, including but not limited to reconnaissance, detection, communications relay, search, target identification, and relay guidance. It is designed for long-range reconnaissance and surveillance missions, among other applications.

The CH-10 has a take-off mass of 450 kg and a payload capacity of 50 kg. It boasts a maximum endurance of 5 hours and an operational radius of 200 km. The UAV can reach a maximum range of 1,200 km and has a ceiling of 7,000 meters. It cruises at an altitude between 3,000 and 5,000 meters and has a cruising speed of 200-240 km/h. The maximum speed of the CH-10 is 320 km/h.
