Hmmm, now you mention it, I might have misunderstood the article. The Chinese words "正在打造的" literally means "currently under construction" or "currently being built". Might it have meant something along the lines of the overall project – not the spaceplane itself – is currently in full swing? I can't say for sure.

"正在打造的" translates better into "currently being worked on" or "currently being developed" which typically refers to the overall project, not necessarily a prototype or a physical sample. If they wanted to specify that something was under construction, they would have written 组装 (assembly) or similar.
