Let's Discover the Best of Speed from Subsonic to Hypersonic in the context of military aircraft.
A FUTURISTIC jet capable of travelling at hypersonic speeds is in the making – and it could fly from London to New York City in just 90 minutes. Test flights and operations are said to start …
A few rough examples to help you wrap your mind around ludicrous speed.
When traveling at five times the speed of sound or faster, the tiniest bit of turbulence is more than a bump in the road, said the Sandia National Laboratories aerospace engineer who for the first time characterized the vibrational effect of the pressure field beneath one of these tiny hypersonic turbulent spots.
Raytheon’s air-breathing hypersonic missile passes the first test. A historic trial.
The Admiral Gorshkov is the first ship in the new series of frigates which were designed to replace the aging Soviet-built destroyers.
Well, it's all about aerodynamics – how air flows around objects. At subsonic speeds, air behaves predictably. But at supersonic speeds, things get wild!

The partnership is aimed at developing high-speed propulsion systems for defense and civil applications.
The Space Development Agency (SDA) has enlisted the expertise of California-based EpiSci to tackle the formidable challenge of detecting hypersonic missiles in flight using satellite data. This initiative comes in response to the escalating threat posed by hypersonic missiles, which travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5, presenting a significant hurdle for existing defense systems. The […]
With nuclear weapons, like the kind Russia and China want on their hypersonics, accuracy doesn't matter. But the US wants hypersonics for precision-strike missiles, and it may have just acquired some technical secrets about how to train a missile raging at mach 10 to hit a target.
Spherical wheels, a shapeshifting body design that lets cars hit near hypersonic speeds, and drones that follow the car from the back, letting the driver race i
Tomorrow's passenger planes will be radically different inside and out as reducing carbon emissions and comfort trump speed as priorities.
The US Air Force’s decision to cancel the Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW) and proceed with Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) came down to size and shape of the missile, in addition to budgetary pressures and a desire to move toward production faster.
For decades, Area 51,the mysterious military base on the edge of the Nevada Nuclear Test Site, has been a source of countless conspiracies. While the base…
Attempts to make hypersonic scramjets have so far ended in failure, but that’s not going to stop Lockheed from working on a 4,500-mph drone meant to be the SR-72.
It’s been a long time since Australia was a player in space exploration. One man wants to change that – with the help of a plane that travels five times the speed of sound.

The ability to fly at speeds greater than five times the speed of sound holds the promise of reaching to the antipodes in hours, it also makes possible deadly weapons that can penetrate any defenses now available. So what is hypersonic flight and does it pose a promise or a threat?
Spy planes (SR71 Blackbird pictured) have become the most feared aircraft. Experts from Bournemouth-based How It Works magazine reveal the technology that goes into them.
When missiles fly beyond Mach 5, materials melt, airflow turns turbulent, and budgets enter the stratosphere
The Pentagon is pushing speeds above Mach 5 for quicker access to space.
A secret, hypersonic replacement for the legendary SR-71 promises to transform military aviation
Lockheed Martin's successor to the Blackbird, the SR-72 has been in development since the early 2000's. It'll reach speed in excess of Mach 6 and reach any destination on Earth within the hour.
China's testing of a 25,000mph hypersonic nuclear-capable missile has indicated that Beijing's missile programme is more advanced than previously thought.
A hypersonic concept plane, dubbed Skreemr, could fly passengers from New York to London in just 30 minutes — at least in theory.
Higher, farther, faster: NASA's X-43A plane is destined to set new speed records. What sets the X-43A apart from other rocket-powered aircraft is that it is powered by a scramjet engine. Learn all about it.
