Scramjets unleashing hypersonic speeds with supersonic combustion, revolutionizing aerospace, defense, and space exploration!

Boundary layers, shock waves, and unpredictable flow patterns create immense challenges. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, led by Professor Deborah Levin and Ph.D ...

Imagine heading to the Philadelphia International Airport, hopping on a plane and landing in London 45 minutes later. In theory, this kind of high-speed hypersonic travel is possible. In reality, ...

But big challenges remain in the newest technological race pitting the U.S. against Russian and Chinese rivals. ... Get ready for the era of hypersonic flight — at five times the speed of sound.

Concorde was the best-known member of an exclusive club of two; the only other civilian airliner able to break the speed of sound was the Soviet Union’s Tupolev Tu-144, which flew until 1999.

This presentation will describe the key technical drivers, critical technologies and unique challenges of designing and developing vehicles to fly at hypersonic speed. Also described will be a vision ...

Rockets have flown at hypersonic speeds in space since the 1950s, but technology that allows HSWs to fly significant distances and maneuver around threats at high speed is relatively new.

Describing a vehicle as hypersonic means that it flies much faster than the speed of sound, which is 761 miles per hour (1,225 kilometers per hour) at sea level and 663 mph (1,067 kph) at 35,000 ...

On March 9, the landscape and history of high-speed flight changed dramatically when Stratolaunch successfully flew the Talon-A1 (TA-1) hypersonic test vehicle off the West Coast of California.

Imagine boarding a flight from Orlando to Los Angeles and instead of languishing on the plane for five and half hours, you arrive in about an hour, ready to enjoy the palm trees on the Pacific Coas… ...

Hypersonic missile tests by North Korea and China have highlighted the challenge of coming up with effective defenses against the advanced weapons, as well as the difficulties the U.S. has had in ...

China's newest hypersonic missile, the DF-27, can fly as far as Hawaii, penetrate U.S. missile defenses and pose a particular threat to U.S. aircraft carriers, according to reports of an ...
