The Langley Research Center maintained an active hypersonic research program from the early days of the formation of NASA in 1958. The goals of the Hypersonic Research Engine (HRE) project, which ...

Hypersonic flight is no longer science fiction. In recent years, interest in aircraft capable of exceeding Mach 5 has surged, driven by strategic competition, defense challenges, and NASA’s pursuit of ...

On a late January morning at a test range in the United States, a missile lifted off that its builders said broke from decades of hypersonic convention. The vehicle, part of an Air Force program ...

Such an engine is 25% more efficient than a conventional engine, allowing it to be much more compact and lighter. It can also operate at subsonic speeds and the design allows it to modify itself so it ...

In addition, replacing all those mechanical parts makes the engine cheaper – an important point with what is essentially a disposable power plant. For testing, the engine installed in the ATLAS Flight ...

Hypersonic waverider vehicles represent a frontier in aerospace engineering, merging innovative design geometries with advanced propulsion concepts to achieve superior aerodynamic efficiency at ...

A bankrupt company’s propulsion system for hypersonic planes is being revived by Invictus, a new European Space Agency (ESA)-backed project aiming to build and fly a hydrogen-powered spaceplane by ...

WASHINGTON — Rocket engine maker Ursa Major landed a $32.9 million deal to supply 16 advanced propulsion systems to Stratolaunch for hypersonic flight tests. Under the contract announced June 16, ...

Renishaw, highlighted the use of its Additive Manufacturing technology in the development of a hypersonic aerospace ...

Venus Aerospace has made the most efficient rocket engines ever flown. They will go from runway to mach 9 hypersonic speed. The Venus Aerospace Stargazer M4 is designed to reach a top speed of Mach 9, ...
