Modeling results show that fuel storage capacity and dynamic pressure have a significant effect on vehicle range and average speed. A perturbation analysis was also performed that ranked the sensitivity of missile range to small changes in 14 design parameters. The kinetic energy efficiency (total ...
introduced in 1961 with a range exceeding 400 miles. TheAS-4 Kitchen, a Mach-2 (twice the speed of sound) rocket-powered missile with a range of about 250 miles, also was introduced in 1961, and the liquid-fuel, rocket-powered Mach-1.5AS-5 Kelt was firstdeployedin 1966. The Mach-3...
According to a Lockheed Martin representative, the missile is “ready to build, in scale, in production quickly.” We’ll see if the U.S. government, or any of the F-35’s operators, are willing to bite. Kyle Mizokami Kyle Mizokami is a writer on defense and...
India’s first domestically developed long-range subsonic cruise missile Nirbhay has been designed and developed by Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO).Designed and Developed By Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Length 6m Weight 1,500kg Diameter 0.52m Speed Mach 0.8 ...
This cost-effective new platform will fill an existing gap in the test and evaluation of current and future hypersonic systems for flight Mach numbers ranging from 3 to 5. Preliminary studies indicate that the Phoenix missile is a highly capable platform. When launched from a high-performance ...

The design and test results of the new type high-subsonic speed submerged and semi-submerged intakes for cruise missile propelled by a turbojet engine have been introduced. The principle for preliminary design of the intake position on board, the duct section shape, the expansion law, the intake...
Weight: 10 710 pounds Booster fuel: Solid propellant Missile fuel: Solid propellant Range: Over 75 miles Speed: Mach 3.65 (2 707 mph) Altitude: Up to 150 000 feet Guidance: Command by electronic computer and radar Warhead: High-Explosive fragmentation or nuclear...
In a homing head for a high-speed missile for use in the hypersonic range (> Mach 3), an optical imaging system (18) and a detector (20) are arranged behind a cover (12), in a fixed position relative to this cover (12), which permits the passage of light to the imaging system ...
According to Houthi footage, the "Palestine-2" boasts an impressive range of 2,150 kilometers and is powered by solid fuel in two stages. They asserted that the missile can reach speeds of up to Mach 16 -- 16 times the speed of sound -- placing it well within the hypersonic category ...
