Today, military fighter jets like the F-15 routinely surpass Mach 2, which is shorthand for twice the speed of sound. That's supersonic level. On a hypersonic flight—Mach 5 and beyond—an aircraft travels faster than 3,000 miles per hour. At that rate, you could make it from New Yor...
White flew a hypersonic rocket-powered airplane six times faster than the speed of sound and higher than 300,000 feet above the Earth's surface. This is his story. Tracing his childhood on the rough streets of Manhattan du...
If you want a hypersonic military craft, it will need to be runway based (or Carrier-based if tech improves enough).The problem with this is in the innate characteristics of this concept: Scramjets will only START at high altitude and speed. That means:A) The launch rail will have...
High-Order Finite-Difference Schemes for Numerical Simulation of Hypersonic Boundary-Layer Transition Direct numerical simulation (DNS) has become a powerful tool in studying fundamental phenomena of laminar-turbulent transition of high-speed boundary layer...

In remarks shortly before the report’s release Wednesday, Milley told the Aspen Security Forum that the hypersonic missile test and other Chinese advances are evidence of what is at stake for the world. “We are witnessing one of the largest shifts in global and geostrategic power that the ...
A further advantage is that antiferromagnets could be made into smaller transistors (and thus be packed more densely onto chips) than is possible with conventional transistor materials like silicon. Creating oxygen vacancies In the new work, MIT researchers led by Riccardo Comin set out to ...
Only two of the new Coaxlink Octo frame grabbers are required to support the highest speed digital cameras, a number of PCIe slots that can be easily accommodated by most computers. The new eight-channel frame grabbers typically cost 35% less than two of the four-channel frame grabbers the...
Air Force X-51A Waverider: Faster Than SupermanThe US Air Force just flew its new X-51A Waverider at five times the speed of sound. It could be used as a hypersonic cruise missile, delivering a warhead to anywhere on earth in an hour.Grier, Peter...
A Colorado startup wants to build supersonic passenger planes faster than Concorde but with fares a quarter of the price – and Virgin Galactic has just got on board. TheBoomairplane would travel at Mach 2.2 – more than twice the speed of sound and 2.6 times faster...
