Chinese hypersound: the media casually mentioned a mysterious plane

2
China Aerospace Science Corporation and equipment is developing a hypersonic aircraft that can reach speeds from 5 to 20 Machs and move in this mode for about 5 hours. This was briefly mentioned on the eve on the central television of the Celestial Empire.





According to the developers, the reduced concept of the aircraft has already been tested in a wind tunnel. The tests were successful. The prototype of the innovative aircraft managed to disperse to 8600 km / h. During the tests, he showed great lift and low resistance to oncoming flow.

Recall that the active work of Chinese researchers to create hypersonic aircraft has been going on since 2018. Then the designers demonstrated the design of the aircraft, which could transport dozens of people (both tourists and military) or tons of cargo (from flowers to bombs) from Beijing to New York in just 2 hours.

In addition, some hypersonic aircraft models previously tested by Chinese engineers over the Gobi Desert were already able to reach speeds 10 times the speed of sound. And the world's fastest wind tunnel, which is currently being built in China, will simulate a flight at a speed of 43 km / h. If the Celestial Empire manages to create such an apparatus, then it will be able to reach the western coast of the United States in just 200 minutes.

    Of course, the declared 20 misses were not achieved simply, but perhaps they will come forward ....
