Dark Sword could become world's first supersonic
drone
China's mysterious "Dark Sword" combat drone could become the world's first
supersonic unmanned aviation vehicle, reports the website of the country's
national broadcaster CCTV.
The Dark Sword - known in Chinese as "Anjian" - made quite a stir in 2006
when a conceptual model of the unusually shaped triangular aircraft made its
debut at the Zhuhai Airshow in southern China's Guangdong province.
The model was subsequently exhibited at the Paris Air Show but has
disappeared from future airshows, with no official word on the development of
the UAV. Some claim the project has already been scrapped due to insufficient
funding or other reasons, while others believe the development of the drone is
now being kept secret as it is undergoing further research and testing.
