Hi bobbymike!

I already opened a thread for that and merging them both would be useful.

So ok. There is a new current event on that. I also read somewhere that another kind of test happened in 2012, already. But the alleged 2012 event might have been less "system-level-integrated" or closer to basic research university test something. Time will tell.

I hope it's not going to be confusing:
- Wu-14 is a BGV
- the september 2015 flight test is something entirely different, of the experimental airbreathing kind if you keep track of what china related sources imply.

Anyway.It's nice to have something. We can crowdsource the truth, later on.

Hi everybody;

Question.

Has China tested yesterday, August 26, 2016, its alleged "Mach 6" and/or "airbreathing" experimental "hypersonic" vehicle? This is the type of stuff I just came across.

- Were available NOTAMs useful as indicators and warnings, serving a known pattern?
- Was the announced/rumored/intended test postponed or did it just happen?
- Were available NOTAMs related to something else, just more "mundane"?

All this is going so fast.

A.

So: ?! or ?! or !! -- That is the question.
