They're not the same. One is a small fairly inexpensive home made RC turbine jet flown line of sight to achieve this record. The other is a full sized FPV satellite drone flown long distance from someone sitting inside a building.

I bet if we could switch roles here and have the X47 be flown strictly line of sight by a person on the ground I bet that jet wouldn't break 400mph. Likewise if this small turbine RC jet were able to be flown FPV long range in a straight line like the X47, I bet this little single stage compressor turbine jet could hit over 550 maybe 600mph.
