Being used for target practice is one potential application. But then why are they advertising the ability to hit Japan and CSGs?
Another way to look at this news is: if they had truly been able to secure the interest of The User, then there likely wouldn’t have been such news about it in the first place.
But I mean, look at the attention they’re getting. They know what they’re doing, lol. "Even a Chinese civilian company can make hypersonic missiles to hit Tokyo!"
i don't buy it he is not that credible.. we cannot ignore this development from a private company.
company didn't even publish the actual flight data and other specification. they are investing heavily in hypersonic space plane and related technologies also successfully demonstrate Engine and vehicle..
flight testing of Jindouyuan 筋斗云-400 Ramjet + Rotating Detonation engine. Took just 8 months from start of project to 1st flight. 3min test flight, performance was beyond expectations > 400 kg thrust + Mach 4 cruising @ 20km altitude.
窜天石猴 (aka sky-high stone monkey) will be the supersonic aircraft utilizing 2 Jindou-400 engines Weighs 1.5 ton & 7.0 m long Expect prototype to fly in 2027..
Well, the company certainly does other things, and this isn’t to devalue those other projects. But the standards are not equal between the different projects, and the tech is not 100% transferable. I would weight the opinions of those who are closer to the industry fairly highly here. As usual, we can wait and see.
