Hypersonic vehicles — aircraft that can reach speeds of Mach 5 and beyond — are subject to extreme conditions while they are in flight, requiring strong yet aerodynamic materials to keep them both in ...

US start-up Hermeus has flown its first supersonic-capable aircraft, the Quarterhorse Mk 2.1, marking a significant step ...

Hydrogen powered hypersonic flight is moving from speculative concept to detailed engineering plan, with aerospace startups and research partners sketching out aircraft that could cross continents in ...

Hypersonic flight could one day make long-haul travel as quick as a short movie. Researchers are testing how turbulence behaves at extreme speeds, a critical hurdle for designing these aircraft. Their ...

There is no shortage of older or younger companies working as you're reading this on some kind of hypersonic aircraft design. Most of these ideas come from the North American continent, and they are ...
