UM-Bot Posted June 3, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The Pentagon and the US Air Force are working on developing hypersonic weapons and aircraft. The technology, which is being built through the combined efforts of the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Pentagon's research arm, is set to continue on from the successful test of the X-51 Waverider, a hypersonic scramjet that reached more than Mach 5 back in 2013.

LucidElement Posted June 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Why was it destroyed as planned? Wouldn't they want to keep that for another rendezvous lol. Or do we just have a lot of them floating around haha. I can see they probably dont want other countries taking it, but just dont understand that one. 240 sec fuel supply though . lol dayummm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithisco Posted June 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 3, 2015 So far behind the times... NASA. The Sabre engine and Skylon will be in the market way before they get their acts together and without the need to use a scramjet (which is basically useless below Mach 3 so another means of propulsion is also required). Just look up Reaction Engines on google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
