[1] [citation needed] The A2 design does not have windows. The heat generated by the hypersonic airflow over the body puts constraints on window design which would make them too heavy. One solution Reaction Engines proposed was to install flat panel displays, showing images of the scene outside. [1]
The NASA X-43 was an experimental unmanned hypersonic aircraft with multiple planned scale variations meant to test various aspects of hypersonic flight. It was part of the X-plane series and specifically of NASA's Hyper-X program developed in the late 1990s. [1] It set several airspeed records for jet aircraft.
A Chinese aerospace firm has completed the first test flight of a passenger plane that it claims can fly at Mach 4 – more than twice the speed of Concorde.. Beijing-based Space Transportation ...
The first manufactured object to achieve hypersonic flight was the two-stage Bumper rocket, consisting of a WAC Corporal second stage set on top of a V-2 first stage. In February 1949, at White Sands, the rocket reached a speed of 8,290 km/h (5,150 mph), or about Mach 6.7. [2]
Project Mayhem, the Air Force's secret new hypersonic bomber, is underway. Development on the bomber, which travels at Mach 10, just took a big step forward.
Afterward, Air Force officials suggested that the branch’s fleet of B-1 stealth bombers and F-15 jets could also be armed with hypersonic ARRW missiles. 8. Hypersonic Air-Breathing Weapon ...
The Zero Emission Hyper Sonic Transport [1] or ZEHST [2] is a planned hypersonic passenger jet airliner project by the multinational aerospace conglomerate EADS and the Japanese national space agency JAXA. [3] On 18 June 2011, the ZEHST concept was unveiled by EADS at the Le Bourget Air Show.
The second phase of the Hypersonic Weapon System development was to perform a set of flight tests with a series of boost-glide Hypersonic Technology Vehicles (HTVs). [12] HTV-1: a low performance hypersonic glider, originally planned to fly in September 2007, now canceled because it was found not possible to manufacture the leading edges. [13]
