The Hypersonic Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) is a satellite-based sensor system being developed by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) along with the Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI) to address hypersonic threats. [1]
Active flow control by MHD force fields on the contrary involves a direct and imperious action of forces to locally accelerate or slow down the airflow, modifying its velocity, direction, pressure, friction, heat flux parameters, in order to preserve materials and engines from stress, allowing hypersonic flight.
The Scimitar engines use technology related to the company's earlier SABRE engine, which is intended for space launch, but here adapted for very long distance, very high speed travel. [citation needed] Normally, as air enters a jet engine, it is compressed by the inlet, and thus heats up. It needs much more power to compress that heated air ...
The Department of Defense is hungry for all things hypersonic, including its new rocket engine. Here are the details. The Pentagon Is Obsessed With Hypersonics, Especially Its New Rocket Engine
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]
Quarterhorse, the Air Force's next hypersonic aircraft, has taken an epic leap. The SR-71 Blackbird successor is a step closer to breaking the airspeed record. Quarterhorse, the Air Force’s Next ...
What are hypersonic missiles? Hypersonic missiles, like the Kinzhal (Dagger) rockets allegedly being deployed by the Russian Air Force, are thought to represent the next generation of arms because ...
SABRE (Synergetic Air Breathing Rocket Engine [4]) was a concept under development by Reaction Engines Limited for a hypersonic precooled hybrid air-breathing rocket engine. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The engine is designed to achieve single-stage-to-orbit capability, propelling the proposed Skylon spaceplane to low Earth orbit.
