Stratospheremodels Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Photo of the Chinese Shenlong, 'Divine Dragon' military spaceplane. The photo was leaked in 2007, but it is possible according to sources that the original photo may have been taken in 2005. Western intelligence agencies are also apparently very interested in a secret test flight of a super scramjet that ended up in the Pacific Ocean. The most senior of China`s spaceplane and space programs engineer have described China`s military spaceplane as being designed for satellite destruction and to carry space based weapons to attack ground based targets as well. They have a vast program on hypersonics and spaceplanes since a long while. I must say it puts in a new perspective the 2 currently scheduled USAF X-37 B OTV flights, which are no doubt closely related to those facts.. This document is a real eye opener and details several of the points i mentionned: http://www.strategycenter.net/research/pub.../pub_detail.asp Stephane Stratosphere Models Website: Picturetrail.com/stratospheremodels Email: stratospheremodels@yahoo.fr Edited December 2, 2009 by Stratospheremodels Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stratospheremodels Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 We don`t know if it is orbital or sub-orbital (or just an air-drop and landing test article). I say if it`s got wings and there is something exhausting gases at the back end, it`s a jet. Like the Me-163 was a jet (rocket plane), etc, etc. Stephane.
