SCMP: At an airport on the southern edge of the Mu Us Desert in Ningxia, northwest China, engineers and scientists conduct a test flight on a jet plane that the world has never seen. 在中國西北部寧夏毛烏素沙漠南緣的一個機場,工程師和科學家正在對世界上從未見過的噴射機進行試飛.
According to some recently disclosed design drawings, this mysterious fighter aircraft, powered by a dual-inlet turbojet engine, boasts a blended wing body design with sweeping delta wings, a hallmark of high-speed stealth fighters. 根據最近披露的一些設計圖紙,這款神秘戰鬥機採用雙進氣渦輪噴氣發動機,採用混合翼身設計,帶有後掠三角翼,這是高速隱身戰鬥機的標誌.
And what happens during the flight is nothing short of extraordinary: a segment of each of the wings detaches from the fighter, metamorphosing into two “flying wing” drones propelled by electric ducted fans. 飛行過程中發生的事情簡直是非同尋常:每個機翼的一部分從戰鬥機上脫落,變成兩架由電動涵道風扇驅動的「飛翼」無人機
