    Have any of these next-generation space planes actually carried anyone into space yet?

      No the American and Chinese government ones that have launched so far are both robotic. This Dream Chaser one that’s supposed to test this year is manned though, we’ll see how that goes.

        The current Dream Chaser is cargo only, but Sierra Space would like to build a crewed version that launches without a fairing. The cargo version launches inside a fairing with folding wings.
