The set of problems that have never had a “just run it in the tunnel” has never had a hypersonics set. What X-43A has brought ...

India’s scramjet success proves hypersonic strength, but turbine complexity keeps fighter engines a tough challenge.

-NASA’s X-43A was a black, wedge-shaped test vehicle that did something once thought impossible: it proved an air-breathing scramjet could fly at hypersonic speeds, reaching Mach 7 and then Mach 9.6 ...

Hypersonic flight could one day make long-haul travel as quick as a short movie. Researchers are testing how turbulence behaves at extreme speeds, a critical hurdle for designing these aircraft. Their ...

(NewsNation) — The Department of Defense announced Monday the United States successfully completed two test flights of a reusable hypersonic aircraft, marking a significant step in the development of ...
