5 sty 2024 · Compared to a rocket-powered vehicle like the Space Shuttle, scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) powered vehicles promise more airplane-like operations for increased affordability, flexibility and safety for ultra high-speed flights within the atmosphere and into Earth orbit.
A hypersonic glide vehicle is usually launched with a ballistic first stage, then deploys wings and switches to hypersonic flight as it re-enters the atmosphere, allowing the final stage to evade all existing nuclear missile defense systems, which were designed for ballistic-only missiles.
5 gru 2023 · Hypersonic transport vehicles (1HTV) are a type of aircraft from the wider group of hypersonic systems. Hypersonic systems are all vehicles that operate in the flight regime where aerodynamic heating becomes significant, typically thought of as flight faster than Mach 5.
Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2) is an experimental hypersonic glide vehicle developed as part of the DARPA Falcon Project designed to fly in the Mach 20 range. [1][2][3][4] It is a test bed for technologies to provide the United States with the capability to reach any target in the world within one hour (Conventional Prompt Strike) using...
12 mar 2024 · TA-1 is an advanced air-launched vehicle designed to serve as a private hypersonic testbed that launches from the huge, dual-fuselage Roc carrier plane, which was built by Scaled Composites for...
7 gru 2021 · This research effort is exploring the development of an adaptive guidance system for hypersonic vehicles. Traditionally, guidance is preprogrammed before flight both for manned and unmanned hypersonic vehicles.
21 cze 2024 · In the coming decade, NASA envisions the development of enabling technologies for a first-generation reusable airbreathing vehicle capable of cruising at hypersonic speeds. This work supports potential emerging markets in high-speed flight.
