so the military could strike targets at a safe distance without putting pilots and aircraft at risk.'
Experimental unmanned aircraft developed for the U s. Air force have gone already hypersonic during tests off the Southern California coast,
Though the aircraft was designed to reach Mach 6, or six times the speed of sound, program officials were satisfied with its performance in the latest test.'

In terms of applications, based on the combination of low adjunction and a"wide"effective bandwidth, the researchers expect to see their 3-D PPY aerogel used in surface coatings for aircraft.

which has announced its plans to release a commercial version of the aircraft in 2017 with a sticker price of 85.000 US dollars.
#Supersonic Aircraft patented by an Airbus Group Company The European aeronautic defence and space company has patented a revolutionary aircraft that leaves every other supersonic jet far behind.
The sonic boom created by this aircraft is surprisingly less than that of the Concorde. The aircraft is equipped with two ramjets under its delta wings, a pair of Turbojets under the front part of the fuselage and a rocket engine at the rear end of the fuselage.
The turbojets are used for propelling the aircraft during taxiing and take off. The passengers and the crew are placed in hammocks for improved comfort.
Once the aircraft climbs to a certain altitude, the turbojets are retracted into the fuselage. At this point, the rocket engine is ignited at full power causing the aircraft to travel vertically like a rocket at supersonic speeds.
Because of this vertical trajectory, the energy of the supersonic boom is dissipated in all horizontal radial directions
and does not encounter the ground. The ingenuity that makes higher supersonic speeds possible lies in the pair of fins situated on the outer ends of the delta wings.
the aircraft curves into a horizontal trajectory at which point the rocket engine is powered off and closed by a door to make it streamlined.
and the aircraft is propelled horizontally at supersonic speeds. At 4. 5 mach, you can reach from London to NY in 1 hr.
The flight path of this aircraft technically makes it the highest roller coaster in the world. Let me know in the comments below
