A Chinese firm with its headquarters in Beijing announced that it has tested the prototype of a commercial transport plane that can travel at almost double the speed of the world’s first supersonic passenger-carrying airplane – the Concorde.
Space Transportation, which is known as Lingkong Tianxing Technology, in China has announced the successful test flight of its Yunxing prototype plane. According to the company’s claims, the plane can fly at speeds of Mach 4 or roughly 3069 miles per hour.
The latest in the string of new military concepts coming from China is a hypersonic boost-glide weapon that can launch other weapons, drones of its own.
According to the model presented at the airshow, the weapon can carry several sub-payloads at once. Something that significantly boosts the capabilities of the hypersonic weapon to further raise worries for any enemy.
