During the Chinese Empire what was the Taketonbo?

The Taketonbo, or "Dragonfly" in English, was a Chinese rocket-powered glider developed during the reign of the Chinese Empire during the late 19th century. The glider was designed to be launched with a rocket motor and it was hoped that it could be used for reconnaissance missions. The glider was never successfully flown and the project was eventually abandoned.
