Unmanned bomber model of China

The future aircraft will operate at altitudes of 20-100km in the stratosphere - between the atmosphere and the universe. The missile can fly at a higher speed than March 5. Experts, when analyzing the characteristics of the project, came to the conclusion that unmanned aerial vehicles would be V-shaped. Maximum speed is 8,000km, with a maximum height of 70km.

The maximum takeoff weight of the aircraft will be 45 tons, so that the aircraft can carry about 3 tons of bombs, maximum fuel weight of 20 tons. The bottom of the airplane is a wing-shaped bomb bay. This solution allows the use of aircraft as a space bomber as well as for the delivery of useful cargo space.

The main purpose of this space-based system is to bomb a target on the ground, to control the satellites of potential enemies, and to conduct reconnaissance. The Chinese industry is not yet capable of executing this project, and experts say the program can not begin before 2050.
