Also the model wing is not as strong as real one. So they might beef up the connector (which may not even exist) between two wings to make them like two integrated structure. And main landing gear is under wings which don't seem to have the space to be retracted into for the same reason.

The model resembles one of the initial concepts of Tengyun project of course it's entirely possible the model is nothing but a placeholder and real one could be entirely different, word in AeSI is that at least two dozen airframe designs were tested.
This one is way better/professional looking.

Where did you get them super fancy degrees? From the ? I'd get a refund if I were you and use that money to get a degree in creative writing. I think you'd be good at that.

The report says 10 second static firing but the company video actually says two firings of 60 seconds each, one after the other?

I assume you are talking about this . It actually says the 10-second test firing was completed at an earlier date. The latest test indeed consisted of two firings, each 60 seconds in duration.
