  China’s ‘Monkey King’ Supersonic Drone China has made significant strides in aerospace technology with the development of a supersonic drone known as the "Monkey King." This advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was created by Lingkong Tianxing Technology, a Chinese aerospace startup. The drone measures seven meters in length and weighs approximately 1.5 tonnes, making it a highly capable piece of machinery. One of the most remarkable features of the "Monkey King" is its ability to reach speeds of Mach 4.2, which is over four times the speed of sound. This makes it one of the fastest drones in existence, capable of achieving these speeds while operating at altitudes of up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles), well above the commercial airspace. The drone is powered by two detonation engines, which rely on a self-sustaining detonation wave for propulsion. This technology, which is still relatively new, allows the "Monkey King" to travel at supersonic speeds w...
