A hypersonic plane took off and faded into the sky a few days ago: The dark-coloured plane showed up again and made a perfect landing hours after take-off.
The report says that it was the first flight by the plane at an undisclosed flight test centre.

Reports of improved jet engines in China and development for a mach 5 test plane faster than the SR71 Blackbird
August 27, 2015
An Aug. 25 report in Beijing-based newspaper China Aviation News praised the engine division of Xi'an-based aeronautic and aerospace firm AVIC Qingan Group. The report mentions a planned project which would see the development of China's first domestically-made turbofan-ramjet combined cycle engine, designed for an unnamed aircraft. The description of this engine suggests something resembling the Pratt and Whitney J58 variable cycle engine used by the SR-71 Blackbird.
A source close to the PLA Air Force was cited by New Outlook as stating that this is part of a project to develop a manned supersonic aircraft, currently in the preparation stages at a domestic research institute. The aircraft is expected to have a top speed faster than the Blackbird on completion, according to the source, although the project is yet to be formally launched.
The China Aviation News report stated that in the first half of 2015, the engine division of AVIC Qingan Group finished the design process for three engine products and gained approval for them in May and July.
The article went on to list descriptions of the three engines as China's first domestically developed turbofan-ramjet combined cycle engine designed for an unnamed aircraft, a classic model engine and a classic model engine with a medium bypass ratio. This suggests the latter two are improved versions of the WS-10 and WS-18 turbofan engines.
The turbofan-ramjet combined cycle engine project, however, has never before been made public. The article stated that there is no precedent for the project and that China currently has no suitable heat-resistant materials for the project and therefore will have to contract overseas suppliers, adding that without the appropriate tools, they will have to go about making them from scratch.
A PLA Air Force source told New Outlook that the aircraft that will use this engine has been in experimental development for several years by an aircraft institute in the southwest. The aim of the project is to surpass the SR-71 Blackbird with a plane that can reach speeds of almost five-times the speed of sound, which is the upper limit of a ramjet engine. For higher speeds, a supersonic combusting ramjet (scramjet) engine is necessary. The aircraft is said to be a large manned plane, with a similar design to Mikoyan's mysterious Project 301 hypersonic aircraft.

China's 70 km altitude ceiling, mach 7 aircraft
2015-01-15
Another speculative Chinese internet concept published by the official People's Daily website: shape better matches the US secretive spy sat imagery!
Details:
Two parallel combined cycle turbine engines.
Length of 22 meters, wingspan of 12 meters, height of 6 meters, sweep angle of 45 ° 30 ', vertical tail camber angle of 20 °.
Near space hypersonic vehicle refers to high-altitude aircraft flying at an altitude of between 20 km-100 km with flight speeds greater than Mach 5. This area is also known as near space flight. It is the transition zone between the atmosphere and space, but also a blank area for traditional aviation and aerospace. So flying military aircraft in this area can rely on the advantages of speed and altitude to complete difficult tasks ordinary aircraft can not complete, including reconnaissance, rapid strike, anti-satellite and so on.
Maximum range: 8000 km
Ceiling: 70 km
Maximum takeoff weight: 45,000 kg
Payload: 3000 kg
Maximum fuel load: 20,000 kg
Maximum speed: Mach 7
Minimum flight speed: 280 km/h
Maximum loitering autonomy time: 8 hours
Normal takeoff ground speed: 330 km/h
Normal takeoff distance: 800 m
Normal landing ground speed: 310 km/h
Normal landing roll distance: 1000 meters
