A smaller model of the plane was tested in a wind tunnel by Cui and his team who are at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
The new hypersonic vehicle has been called the “I-plane” by the team. The name comes from the shadow cast by the plane on the ground. This is because plane designers wanted higher speeds and fuel efficiency. The vehicle has lower wings reaching out from the middle of the plane’s main body like a pair of arms. There is also a third flat wing reaching over the back of the aircraft.This biplane design will enable the aircraft to handle more payload than existing hypersonic vehicles that have a contoured shape and delta wings, according to the researchers.
