China unveils rocket engine capable of 180-degree turns mid-flight

China unveils rocket engine capable of 180-degree turns mid-flight
11.07.2025 14:00

China has unveiled a new rocket engine capable of reversing its flight path by 180 degrees almost instantly, raising questions over the limits of modern physics, according to the Telegram channel “Militarist.”

A video of the test shows an aircraft making a sharp turnaround in mid-air. Sources claim the engine can reach speeds of up to 20,000 km/h.

In May, reports said China’s drone carrier, the Jiu Tian, could conduct its maiden flight by late June. The jet-powered UAV has a range of 7,000 km, can carry up to 100 small drones, and was first showcased at an airshow in November. With a wingspan of 25 meters and a 6-ton payload capacity, it can operate above most medium-range air defense systems.
