Chinese hypersonic research

[BoQ77]

We learn that the ceiling flight for this is 95,000 ft ( about 29km )
How China air defence could shoot down this ( assuming ) ?

Is that the hypersonic UAV?

Its fuselage looks rather rugged and the workmanship is lacking.

the workmanship looks like from high school metalwork class

 

[BoQ77]

Are there any pics of the vehicle?

Any name?
I wonder why Chinese source can make sure the news for noname project ?

I guess the project didn't assign it as Wu-14 ( it's American who assign that )

Don't worry, the SR-71 also oil spilling on the ground ... upper air high-speed ==> Thermal expansion ! thermal expansion will fix workmanship gaps on the metal surface when hypersonic high-speed flying upper air.

The workmanship is great considering that the “thing” flew at 5 Mach for considerable period of time.

The ugly belly of SR-71

Are you sure this is the thing?

Also, why not more photos? How can someone get a photo right from the centre forward, and still only get one.

Any further details?

yeah, that thing could be from some junkyard project or anything.. we need more photos

Yes ... but we are fooled !

Seems to be the rear-part of an B-53's engine pod ....

An interesting CG regarding that "strange" small "thing" at CAC !

However I'm still sure it is a Wing Loong without its wings only.

Anyway ...
