China ‘Mocks’ US Hypersonic Tech With a New Wind Tunnel ‘Success’;

China is said to have made significant progress in testing and developing hypersonic technology. China's revelations came after it launched a hypersonic missile that circled the world and shocked even the United States, and finally China itself claimed that the glide vehicle had fired a submunition into the South China Sea that belonged to China. Because China is making efforts to overtake its adversary, the United States, and they have succeeded in doing so.

  Chinese scientists claim to have launched the world's first wind tunnel capable of testing a full-scale hypersonic missile through the key stages of flight, making China the world's largest hypersonic missile test tunnel. which may be required for performance or testing of rockets and for debugging and troubleshooting of certain hypersonic missiles and fighter jets. China claims that this time they will be able to suppress the world with a much stricter hand.

I take most SCMP articles with a grain of salt, but this is too interesting not to discuss

The article claims that the Chinese have been testing in a “secret” hypersonic wind tunnel facility that compares favorably to the NASA 8ft high-temperature tunnelhttps://t.co/rRCVmcwz2x pic.twitter.com/7WO2ZNhoX2

China has begun work on a very ambitious and advanced JF-22 hypervelocity wind tunnel that will be able to simulate speeds up to Mach 30, or 30 times the speed of sound. China claims that this hypersonic aircraft will be ready by this year to support its space programs. 

-#Chinese build world’s 1st wind tunnel capable of testing full-sized hypersonic missile in Huairou District near #Beijing #China
-Its name, location & Mach rating are classified
-Scale model testing tunnels are big
-This 1 is full scale & therefore huge
-How did world miss it❓ pic.twitter.com/Wx194Lvpqm

China's hypersonic wind tunnel (JF12) was featured on CCTV again since its previous appearance in Nov. They also announced a plan for a new one that can test vehicles up to Mach 10-25. A thread comparing the two vids (all pics older-newer): 1/ pic.twitter.com/qHs5AGnKSp
