Any evidence that this thing can fly, or is it another propaganda stunt?

I originally had a snide comment about that, then took it back because I figured maybe it's covered in some kind of protective plastic?
But it does make it look pretty fake to be sure. I was reading other articles that were saying evidence that it's flown is limited to small scale prop and jet powered R/C models - so I have no doubt this is a mock-up. It's easy to make almost any R/C model fly regardless of aerodynamics, simply because you have such a surplus of thrust, and the air molecules are so much larger relative to the wing area involved.
