  2. Hypersonic speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed

    The transonic speed range is that range of speeds within which the airflow over different parts of an aircraft is between subsonic and supersonic. So the regime of flight from Mcrit up to Mach 1.3 is called the transonic range. [citation needed] Northrop X-4 Bantam (Mach 0.9) — Supersonic [1.2–5) 921–3,836 mph (1,482–6,173 km/h; 412 ...

  3. Hypersonic XLC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_XLC

    After a launch from 0 to 80 mph (130 km/h) in 1.8 seconds up a 90° incline, the ride crested a 165-foot (50 m) hill, and without fully slowing, plummeted down a 90° dive. Next, the coaster performed a banked left turn, went through a smaller banked right turn, and skirted a small hill before heading into the brake run.

  4. CJ-100 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJ-100

    The CJ-100 is supersonic in nearly all flight phases. [1] According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies in 2022, the missile has a range of 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi; 1,100 nmi). [4]

  5. Supersonic speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_speed

    Supersonic speed is the speed of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air of a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) at sea level , this speed is approximately 343.2 m/s (1,126 ft/s; 768 mph; 667.1 kn; 1,236 km/h).

    Supersonic: 1.2–5.0 794–3,308 915–3,806 1,470–6,126 410–1,702 The supersonic speed range is that range of speeds within which all of the airflow over an aircraft is supersonic (more than Mach 1).

  7. ThrustSSC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThrustSSC

    ThrustSSC, Thrust SSC or Thrust SuperSonic Car is a British jet car developed by Richard Noble, Glynne Bowsher, Ron Ayers, and Jeremy Bliss. [1] Thrust SSC holds the world land speed record , set on 15 October 1997, and driven by Andy Green , when it achieved a speed of 1,228 km/h (763 mph) and it became the first and only land vehicle to ...

  8. Cruise missile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_missile

    These missiles travel faster than the speed of sound, usually using ramjet engines. The range is typically 100–500 km, but can be greater. Guidance systems vary. Examples: ASALM US ALCM prototype, test-flown to hypersonic Mach 5.5; 3M-54 Kalibr (4,500 km, Mach 3) (the "Sizzler" variant is capable of supersonic speed at the terminal stage only)

  9. BAC Mustard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAC_Mustard

    The Multi-Unit Space Transport And Recovery Device or MUSTARD, usually written as Mustard, was a reusable launch system concept that was explored by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) during the mid-1960s. Mustard was intended to operate as a multistage rocket, the individual stages comprising near-identical spaceplane modules.
