It is difficult to judge from the photo about the capabilities of the device. Probably the "Dark Sword" is able to rise into the air, most likely, in reality the work on the project has gone far ahead, as "the Chinese show only what they want to show."
By outlines and configuration, the device surpasses all existing in the world, including American drones, due to a combination of supersonic speed, high maneuverability and low visibility. The new drones can be used for reconnaissance and, possibly, for strikes. In particular, the "Dark Sword" managed to consider the presence of an undelivered supersonic air intake Diverterless Supersonic Inlet (DSI), which simultaneously allows to reduce air resistance at high speeds and increase the invisibility of the apparatus for enemy radars.
Similar technologies are already being used on the Chinese fighter of the fifth generation Chengdu J-20 and the American F-35 Lightning II. DSI allows you to fly at supersonic cruising speed up to two Mach numbers. Since 2000, Chinese engineers from copying the world's best samples, are moving to their own breakthrough technologies. So surprises are yet to come.
