GE and Lockheed ground tested a new air-breathing hypersonic jet engine capable of powering missiles to speeds well in excess ...

At hypersonic speeds, complexities occur when the gases interact with the surface of the vehicle such as boundary layers and shock waves. Researchers were able to observe new disturbances in ...

When an object moves through the atmosphere at hypervelocity, it can get damaged by dust particles or water droplets suspended in that atmosphere. Simply firing dust particles or liquid droplets at ...

A University of Tennessee team secured funding for a $17.8 million grant from the U.S. Air Force to create a wind tunnel that can subject samples of materials like high-temperature ceramics to ...

Hypersonic vehicles have become the latest military prestige technology, and the US seems to be lagging its rivals. That could change after the successful flight of an autonomous and reusable ...
