CASC has conducted two test flights of the same plane in July 2021 and August 2022.

The upturned wingtips of the CASC suborbital spaceplane concept reminds me of a those of the Myasishchev Cosmopolis XXI suborbital spaceplane concept, yet the CASC design has a longer fuselage and windows similar to those of the SpaceShipOne, SpaceShipTwo, and SpaceShipThree.

Some screen grabs. Vertical launch like Blue Origin and horizontal landing like Virgin Galactic.
