China is working on a hypersonic passenger jet concept that, on paper, could lap the planet in roughly seven hours, shrinking today’s longest flights to the span of a workday. The project, centered on ...

Imagine an aircraft streaking across the sky at over Mach 12, which is twelve times the speed of sound! Moreover, it is powered not by conventional jet fuel but by hydrogen fuel, meaning that it ...

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 ...

NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center in 2025 conducted high-speed, supersonic, and hypersonic aircraft tests, supporting aeronautics, air mobility, and Earth observation through experimental flights ...

Stratolaunch may conduct another hypersonic test flight this weekend from California's Mojave Air & Space Port. The flights are part of a Department of Defense program to test advanced capabilities ...
