    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.
