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]
LAPCAT (Long-Term Advanced Propulsion Concepts and Technologies) was a 36-month European FP6 study to examine ways to produce engines for a Mach number 4-8 hypersonic flight aircraft. The project ended in April 2008. [1] It was funded by the European Commission research and development fund (rather than ESA), and cost 7 million euros. [2] [3]
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 ...

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.
Chimera is a pre-cooled, full-range, air-breathing, turbine combined cycle (TBCC) hypersonic engine combining a pre-cooled turbine with a ramjet. At low speeds Chimera operates as a turbine, while at higher speeds the engine transitions to ramjet mode.
The legendary Skunk Works had a hand in developing Tom Cruise’s fastest plane yet. Darkstar, the Hypersonic Jet in ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ Could Become a Real Plane Skip to main content
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.
