A Chinese company is developing an ‘ultra-fast’ space plane that will be able to take passengers to any point on Earth by going into space and coming back down.

Named Tianxing I, the rocket takes off vertically, with a smaller passenger plane attached, until it reaches a high enough altitude, at which point the plane is detached and sent hurtling into space at about 2,600 miles per hour.

Beijing-based Space Transportation has been developing the spacecraft since 2018, and describe it as being a ‘rocket with wings’, with the hope of launching in 2025.

Test flights have shown the mothership rocket can take off, and land back on the ground successfully, with tests of the full spaceplane due in the coming years.

This announcement could worry some security analysts, coming months after the Chinese government spooked US officials by launching hypersonic missile tests.
