Hypersonic flight, with speeds exceeding Mach 5, pushes the boundaries of engineering. But as vehicles slice through the atmosphere at these incredible velocities, complex interactions occur between ...

What if the future of space travel were to look less like Space-X's rocket-based Starship and more like NASA's "Hyper-X," the hypersonic jet plane that, 20 years ago this year, flew faster than any ...

The U.S. Department of War has taken a significant step to accelerate the development ...

At hypersonic speeds, complexities occur when the gases interact with the surface of the vehicle, such as boundary layers and shock waves. Researchers in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at The ...

NASA engineer Bobby Sanders pioneered advanced supersonic and hypersonic engine inlet technology, earning eight patents and ...

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 ...

Hermeus is breaking ground on a new engine and flight test facility HEAT will accelerate US hypersonic development, offering increased testing cadence for not only Hermeus, but the DoD and larger ...

A promising technique for tracking boost-glide hypersonic vehicles involves detecting radio waves emitted by plasma in the wake. Passive detection would be a valuable capability, since existing ...

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS), a technology company specializing in defense, national security, and global markets, today announced that it has recently received ...

Hypersonic flow occurs at velocities exceeding Mach 5, generating extreme temperatures that induce molecular dissociation and ionisation. Under such conditions, the gas departs from thermal ...

Mach 5 is the new Mach 1. Just as aviators of old sought to break the sound barrier and travel supersonically, the search is now on for reliable and controllable ways to travel “hypersonically”, ...

Supersonic combustion dynamics lie at the heart of hypersonic propulsion, where airflow enters the combustor at speeds exceeding Mach 1 and must burn fuel within milliseconds. Unlike subsonic ...
