Indeed, it has consolidated America’s hegemony in the air. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, China has been confronted by the United States for tit-for-tat. Under this circumstance, China will naturally not wait to die. In response to the US air and space fighters.
Our country started the research of Tengyun project many years ago, the purpose is to master the core technology, especially the engine conversion technology on the aircraft. Once this engineering research is successful, our country can break the technological monopoly of the United States.
In this project, my country uses the Long March 2 F-type carrier rocket, which realizes the conversion between aircraft engine and rocket engine. First, take off horizontally like an ordinary airplane.
Then it will fly at supersonic speeds of between 16,000 and 30,000 per hour, flying at an altitude of between 30 and 100 kilometers, until it enters the atmosphere and then switches the rocket engine into space. all in all.
With the intensification of the space arms race, countries are wary of each other, and there is very little exchange in technology, which has seriously hindered the process of mankind's exploration of the universe. But Shenlong No. 1 just shows the development of science and technology.
