I believe that this is only a glide test. However, this is still pretty significant .

Yeah it's no.5 on Mr.Speed's list of top 10 Chinese military development in 2010.

According to Mr.Speed though, the test was not entirely successful. Still as a hypersonic orbital aircraft it's very significant.

Did Mr. Speed mention whether it is a glide test or an actual launch?

It's not a glide test as according to Speed Shenlong managed to fly at hypersonic speed.

Shenlong is not a fighter jet, it's a spaceplane. Also it requires to be launched by a Long March rocket. A rather expensive toy.

Good work guys. Hope we can see it flying into space soon enough. Given all the experience you guys have been clocking, shouldn't be a difficult thing. Good going.

Congratulations on this to all Chinese out there. Good for Chinese they are really ramping up the list of achievements in science and technology, hope some time soon we too could catch up.
