The first flight of a Chinese-built stealth drone has been reported by state media, who have named the craft "Sharp Sword".

The country has been testing a number of stealth aircraft over the last few years. The Chengdu J-20 and Shenyang "Falcon Hawk" J-31 have both undergone flight tests, with the expectation that they'll become operational towards the end of the decade.

According to eyewitnesses, "Sharp Sword" flew for 20 minutes around Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province in Southwest China. Few further details are available.
