Woww.. what a lot of force on that wing !!!

Definitely going very fast; you can see the shockwaves forming behind the Carapace antenna on the intake and at the back of the wing/front of the tail. Is there anybody out here with enough understanding of aerodynamics to comment on the effect of this on wingload etc?
