As reported, the MD-19 hypersonic drone might rely on a rocket engine rather than an air-breathing scramjet one.
Scientists in China seem to have achieved the feat of making a drone carry out a horizontal landing on a runway after it has flown at hypersonic speeds, according to reports.
The report also mentions that testing has been carried out for several years, and it may very well be the case that the video that has surfaced recently might be a bit old.on X by several users, a medium-altitude long-endurance drone named Tengden TB-001 is seen carrying the MD-19 hypersonic drone in the air.
What needs to be remembered here is that unlike most hypersonic vessels – which are in military use – the MD-19 can be recovered safely and reused after its mission.Moreover, if reports are believed, it displays a remarkable ability to decelerate from hypersonic to subsonic speeds for landing. More details about the hypersonic drone with horizontal landing capability are yet to surface, and they will likely be kept in the wraps until the authorities deem fit.China seems to be making giant leaps in developing new hypersonic weapons, vessels, and even bigger and better drones.
