Mach 9.6 still matters: X-43A proved hypersonic flight can’t be simulated away
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 ...
Australian company Hypersonix Launch Systems is not only looking to make the delivery of satellites into orbit cheaper and more accessible, but also greener. It is developing a reusable launch system ...
Aerojet Rocketdyne and the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have achieved a new record thrust output from a scramjet engine, providing a boost for hypersonic flight. A year of ground testing ...
Japan's Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) has started prototyping components in support of its programme to ...
Scramjet from Popular Science. The first true reusable, free-flying scramjet could be Darpa's HTV-3X. It is also known as Blackswift. The HTV-3x could make its inaugural flight as early as 2012.
And sooner than you think, it could be coming to an airport near you. What exactly is a scramjet? Short for "supersonic combustion ramjet," a scramjet is, at its core, an engine technology aimed at ...
China has revealed the first known images of an indigenous scramjet test that it says was successfully conducted at speeds up to Mach 7 and altitudes up to 30 km, in December 2015. Credit: National ...
A small group of Australian scientists made aviation history July 30 with the successful atmospheric test of a supersonic air-breathing engine in flight. Working with a budget most big science ...
According to the U.S. Air Force, the flight test for the experimental X-51A WaveRider plane which could potentially travel up to 4500mph has resulted in failure. As previously reported on SmartPlanet, ...
A team of engineers at the Air Force Research Laboratory and Air Force Test Center have set a record for the highest thrust produced by an air-breathing hypersonic engine in the military branch's ...
Things are going up down in Australia, and reaching hypersonic speed. An experiment in harnessing scramjet technology for future space transportation systems was flown last weekend by the University ...
