A Chinese aerospace company has successfully completed the first test flight of a groundbreaking hypersonic passenger aircraft.

This article is based on a report from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-hypersonic-flights-speed-concorde-b2051192.html nowhere does it say they have completed a test flight.
That’s actually hilarious that this outlet thought a animated video was real.
This “outlet” is barely a news outlet and keeps getting posted on Lemmy recently…
Edit: over the past 12 days OP has posted 7 articles posted by the same user. I think I see what’s going on here…
The article does link to that URL behind the line “the first test flight”, but that seems erroneous. This story actually seems to be based on this Chinese press release: https://www.spacetransportation.com.cn/news/info/22.html
But it also seems like there’s some confusion between an “aircraft test” and a “test flight”. I’m not convinced this thing has ever flown.
