China’s futuristic jet performs its first flight, leaving the world in shock!”
According to Chinese experts, a jumbo aircraft prototype achieved Mach 6.56, or roughly 5,033 mph, on a test flight, reaching hypersonic speeds. China has made significant progress in aircraft technology with this accomplishment.
The Gobi Desert’s Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre hosted the covert test flight. The Chinese Academy of Sciences recently shared a video of the prototype’s debut along with an interview with Cui Kai, the project leader, detailing how they overcome certain design obstacles.
The 20-minute flight was a significant milestone in the development of hypersonic aircraft and paved the path for further advancements in high-speed flying.
This development has drawn attention to China’s engineering prowess in advanced aircraft technologies.
Images of the advanced planes flying at low altitude have gone viral on Chinese social media. It might be a turning point in Beijing’s military modernization, according to analysts.
Analysts suggest that images of cutting-edge aircraft sailing at low altitudes in China on Thursday may be the first flights of sixth-generation fighter jets, which would be a significant advancement for the nation’s military.
