There have been a couple of recent papers describing something with a relation to high mach number flight and some old photos of what appears to be an aircraft with extremely swept back wings. Now It's obvious one shouldn't jump to conclusions and connect these loose tid bits of information together but it is interesting that an engine has shown up that would be ideal for flight in the mach 3+ range.

Items include:
launching a hypersonic weapon from a weapons bay at speeds ranging from mach 2-4.
An escape capsule for an Mach 4 aircraft
Photos

I've compiled all of these straggling bits of information for those who haven't been keeping up. I don't think theres a dedicated thread for High supersonic aircraft for China, is there?

Looks like Beijing finally got around to watching Top Gun Maverick, then…

Not much to go on from those satellite photos - a mockup, perhaps? - but very interesting nonetheless.

It was at a radar testing facility, so it would likely be a RCS model.
