Recently on the Internet, satellite image shows the chengdu aircraft manufacturing plant in China on the tarmac, appeared a strange shape of the aircraft, from the aircraft parked beside annihilates - 10 fighters, pterosaurs unmanned aerial vehicle (uav), the overall size of the aircraft, is also a unmanned aerial vehicles (uavs) obviously different from the traditional fixed wing aircraft, however, in this strange machine at the back of the fuselage is only a pair of wings, obviously it is not a common drone.


      In last week, China's aviation news network reported that China's flight test center of a new type of hypersonic flight test machine news of success, so the analysis thinks, chengdu aircraft factory this strange craft on the tarmac, are likely to be just test the success of the new hypersonic test machine.From the shape and size of the machine, the fuselage and wings design is very similar to the United States in the 1960 s of the hypersonic technology demonstration machine X 15, rather than the previous media rumors like the SR - 72 that large strategic hypersonic reconnaissance drones.


        On September 21st, the air force equipment research institute senior engineer wen-chang chang in a media interview, judging by the China aviation news network reported that China has successfully developed and tested its broadly similar black bird, indices such as the highest speed beyond the 'black bird' hypersonic manned strategic reconnaissance aircraft, it is still too early.But he also believes that if the report of the hypersonic aircraft for a certain type of aircraft carrier aircraft, and verified the pre-research of a hypersonic aircraft technology in our country, and some credible.


        Comprehensive the above information, the analysis thinks, avic, state media reported a new type of hypersonic aircraft in flight mode, may and the United States adopt the hypersonic scramjet x-plane X - 51 a similar "by wave", using large bomber as machine tools, has a certain speed and height after accelerated under their own power to hypersonic flight, and the test the test machine unit is likely to be a boom - 6 bombers.


         Analysis also believes that the world countries to carry out research in hypersonic aircraft although many, but the real, made significant progress test machine is only the United States.Whatever China's successful flight is a kind of hypersonic weapon, which will greatly change the offensive and defensive battle style in the future.
