NASA engineer Bobby Sanders pioneered advanced supersonic and hypersonic engine inlet technology, earning eight patents and ...

Hermeus aims to make planes for the U.S. military that travel over five times the speed of sound—and maybe even introduce the world to hypersonic commercial air travel. Last Wednesday, a defense ...

Supersonic combustion dynamics lie at the heart of hypersonic propulsion, where airflow enters the combustor at speeds exceeding Mach 1 and must burn fuel within milliseconds. Unlike subsonic ...

"Hypersonic" refers to speeds over Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound. That's approximately 3,800 miles per hour, a pace that could take you all the way around the equator in less time than it ...

Could a flight across the world take just two hours? It might, if we master hypersonic travel — and a group of Japanese ...

Just a couple of decades ago, aviation had some rules. If you wanted to fly fast within the atmosphere, you used a jet engine. The champion here was the SR-71 Blackbird, designed by Lockheed Martin, ...

Hermeus is pushing for Mach 5 flight with its Quarterhorse test program. See how this hypersonic tech aims to shrink travel times.
