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 ...
During hypersonic flight, an aircraft or missile flies at speeds exceeding Mach 5. Mach 5 is five times the speed of sound, or 6,173 km/h (3,836 mph). At those speeds, an aircraft could fly anywhere ...
Modern warfare is no longer limited to tanks and fighter jets. With the pace of technology, the nature of weapons is also ...
At hypersonic speeds, complexities occur when the gases interact with the surface of the vehicle such as boundary layers and shock waves. Researchers were able to observe new disturbances in ...
Chinese researchers have revealed progress on a weapon concept that could compress hypersonic performance ...
The Pentagon is intensifying its pursuit of Mach 5+ flight through a new $68 ...
Chinese engineers are innovating an ultra-small hypersonic glide missile, capable of being launched from an 80mm ...
Chinese scientists and engineers are developing an ultra‑small hypersonic glide missile that can be fired from a standard ...
View of the cone junction of a simulated flow field. In the image labeled as A, B and C are the locations of the conical shock, wavy separation line and the discontinuity in the circular shape. At ...
