NASA’s X-43A Scramjet Almost Hit Mach 10 But Got the Hypersonic ‘Axe’
A’s Legacy Go Operational? -In 2004, NASA’s X-43A set the air-breathing speed record at Mach 9.6, validating scramjet combustion but only for 10 seconds before gliding to splashdown. -The demo ended ...
v. 1. From Max Valier to Project PRIME, 1924-1967 -- v. 2. From Scramjet to the national aero-space plane, 1964-1986 ...
The race to field reusable hypersonic aircraft got a whole lot hotter last month, with GE Aerospace announcing a breakthrough in high-speed jet engine design that could potentially allow conventional.
Speed is paramount in designing missiles, so engineers have worked for years to improve how fast a missile can fly. The goal is to strike a target without warning, so the faster an object, the harder ...
