The idea of a hypersonic aircraft capable of sustained flight above Mach 5 has circulated in defense circles for years, often under the informal label “SR-72 Darkstar.” While no official confirmation ...

Even private capital is flowing into the sector, with hypersonic testing companies securing major institutional investment to expand production capacity and flight cadence [3]. As traditional ...

The flight is scheduled for no earlier than late February, launching aboard Rocket Lab’s “That’s Not A Knife” mission from ...

Hypersonix is executing test flights that will demonstrate sustained hypersonic flight powered by hydrogen Australian ...

"Hypersonic" refers to speeds over Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound. That's approximately 3,800 miles per hour, a pace that could take you all the way around the equator in less time than it ...

Shaped much like a miniature NASA space shuttle, Stratolaunch's uncrewed, rocket-propelled Talon-A2 aircraft detached in midair from the world's largest plane in March and zoomed up to dizzying speeds ...

Chinese researchers have revealed progress on a weapon concept that could compress hypersonic performance ...

Can Iran really sink a US aircraft carrier like the USS Gerald R. Ford? A deep dive into Khamenei’s warning, carrier strike group defences, hypersonic missiles and Strait of Hormuz tensions.

Chinese engineers are innovating an ultra-small hypersonic glide missile, capable of being launched from an 80mm ...

This might seem like an obvious statement, but designing an aircraft that flies at five to seven times the speed of sound is difficult. Paradoxically, materials for hypersonic aircraft must be light ...
