WZ-2000 was a very old project, a report by Guizhou Daily indicated the WZ-200 made its maiden flight in December 26th, 2003. CAC and Guizhou working together in recent years.

Thanks ... but there's no image??

And anything on that secret BZK-009??

Information about BZK-009 is also very rare in Chinese internet. I only find two news reports:

1. 上午10时，中国一航贵州航空工业集团第一次采用零工装柔性装配工艺的重点型号BZK-009型无人机在云马飞机厂2车间开铆。一航贵州集团总经理助理符史辉、原副总经理张尚道、重点型号总设计师杨绍文、空军驻云马厂总军代表沈献绍等参加开铆仪式。

2.中国新型无人机开铆---《军事技术》2005年11月15日上午10时，贵航集团重点型号BZK-009型无人机开铆，标志着该重点型号从零件加工阶段进入部件装配的关键生产阶段。该重点型号的研制生产，第一次采用了柔性装配工艺，大大缩短了生产准备周期，代表了当今中国飞机制造也数字化装配的最新发展趋势，这也是该重点型号能够在不足三个月的时间能实现开铆的重要原因。

BZK-009 is also the product of GAAC. They began to assembled it in November 15th, 2005. The chief designer of BZK-009 is 杨绍文 (Yang Shaowen), who is also the chief designer of WZ-2000. Maybe they are same project in different steps.

It looks though the development of a certain type of near-space drone has been completed just before year-end 2017

http://www.cannews.com.cn/2018/0109/170270.shtml

This is about CAC/611th's new hyper-sonic near-space vehicle, according to the news, the development is a success, and the vehicle can take off and land all on its own, thanks to the multi-phase engine, unlike the US's one who needs a rocket boost stage.

According to some BBS sources, it is the only project in AVIC that actually win some respect from CASIC.

CASIC has their own near-space hypersonic vehicle projects and is also aiming at the big near-space cake.

To admit I would be more careful and I have the feeling that some are mixing certain different projects even more with wrong images.

This alleged Near-space UAV is not this hypersonic one but a very large, very light solar powered UAV:

http://www.cannews.com.cn/2018/0109/170270.shtml

... while according to other sources this one shown in the images is simply a UAV with short/dismantled wings and not the hypersonic one.


Via Henry K's EastPendulum: http://www.eastpendulum.com/exclusif-drone-hypersonique-chinois-revele

...
Finally, if what we see in these Chinese patents is really the Chinese hypersonic drone, it will also mean that the machine appeared on the tarmac in Chengdu in July 2015, seen on the satellite images, has in fact nothing to do with the project.

摘要： 本实用新型创造属于飞机技术领域，涉及一种临近空间高速巡航飞行器用隔热帘。本实用新型的特点是：采用多层低辐射隔热结构作为热阻主要材料，并在其表面包覆防火布，将其制成一种可重复使用的复合结构，安装于飞行器内部需要局部隔热的位置进行飞行器舱内隔热。采用这种隔热方式，能够付出较小的重量阻隔舱内热交换，实现飞行器同一舱内的局部小环境舱温控制，并可重复使用。

The solar powered UAV do not need this.

Ok, we're all getting confused now.

Which vehicle(s) is this article talking about? Is this the same UAV as the near-hypersonic one that was tested in fall 2015 using combined-cycle turbo-ramjet engines?

This ucav looks really cool. How much HP power does each engine have?
