Aerospace and defense company Ursa Major aims to bring greater containment and control to hypersonic flight with its HAVOC missile – a medium-range vehicle capable of flying in excess of Mach 5, yet ...

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 ...

Hypersonic flow testing and measurement techniques form a critical component in advancing our understanding of high-speed aerothermodynamics. Researchers utilise a variety of specialised ...

Recent advances in hypersonic flow dynamics have underscored the critical interplay between aerodynamic forces and thermal loads experienced by high-speed vehicles. Research in this field focuses on ...

Contours of normalized temperature perturbations of optimal responses inside the boundary layer and the entropy layer, and these optimal responses may shift to another type as a change of specific ...

NATO- and U.S.-backed hypersonic ceramic survives 2,700 K plasma test, revealing potential new path to reusable extreme-speed flight.

Hypersonic vehicles have become the latest military prestige technology, and the US seems to be lagging its rivals. That could change after the successful flight of an autonomous and reusable ...

February 13 2025, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced its secretive Aerospace Projects Office (APO) is developing a large hypersonic bomber prototype as part of the Next ...

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 ...
