The Mach 6-capable planes, using rockets instead of jet engines, are being developed in various places by startups with support from big powers — the US, China and Russia.

The SR-72 was once publicly touted as a Mach 6+ spy plane with strike capabilities, meaning this high-flying jet wouldn’t be limited to solely taking pictures like its Blackbird predecessor and ...

During a secret flight in 2021, a bulky, heavy-looking aircraft flew high and fast over the Gobi Desert in China, rocketing all the way to Mach 6.5, or 4,987 miles per hour during the 20 minute test.

The University named the craft “Feitian-2” and according to Chinese media the test flight saw it reach Mach 12 (14,800 km/h ...

During a 2021 test flight first widely publicised this week, a scaled-down prototype of the aircraft reached a top speed of Mach 6.56 – or over six times the speed of sound.

The $33 million jet would be able to complete the nearly 3,500-mile journey from New York to London in under an hour — a trip that typically takes ... about six times the speed of sound (Mach 6).
