Chinese hypersonic research

took off and faded into the sky a few days ago：

The dark-coloured plane showed up again and made a perfect landing hours after take-off。

The report says that it was the first flight by the plane at an undisclosed flight test centre。

An unmanned hypersonic plane？

Hang on a second，the official report specifically mentions “test pilot”。

So manned hypersonic plane？

Unbelievable！

Ok，the link no longer works。

I tend to believe that the “plane’ is a type of unmanned near space hypersonic vehicle being developed by a team at CAC。

As such，this is an AVIC undertake as opposed to other hypersonic programmes run by CASC、CASIC etc。

Interesting ... but the image You posted is from AFwing ... could You please post the link ?

Some key phrases used in the article to describe the ”plane“ and the test flight：

New era or epoch-making flight vehicle、special mission profile、unique flight mode、flight speed and altitude way beyond anything the flight test centre ever attempted since its creation，major breakthroughs in the conduct of hypersonic flight tests。。。。。。

Thanks ... but these two images (I found another one at the CDF) are not there !
I insist so much since I have that strange feeling I've seen that mode already somewhere else !

Ahhh ... sorry, You already mentioned it, but with SA-2S I wasn't able to work !

unmanned hyper sonic plane flown from ground by test pilot

I found it ... it's the Convair SA-2S once planes concept as a SR-71-successor !
