MD-22

MD-22 (Chinese: 鸣镝-22 / 鸣镝-二十; pinyin: míng dí-22 / míng dí-èrshíèr) is a hypersonic unmanned combat aerial vehicle developed by the CAS Institute of Mechanics and the Guangdong Aerodynamic Research Academy (GARA), this Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, the MD-22, is believed to be a near-space hypersonic technology test platform. It is a great leap as China is testing and improvising its hypersonic technology on a war footing.

The MD-22 has been designated as a space shuttle Loyal wingman of the future. Little is known about it, as even the information on its presentation brochure is scarce.
