February 13 2025, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced its secretive Aerospace Projects Office ...
UDRI performs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of hypersonic flows in order to better guide the design process. CFD allows iteration and flexibility within a given design space, thus ...
It is over 20 years since Concorde’s last flight, and since then the idea of supersonic flight has mostly been grounded. Many countries have blocked planes from travelling at such high speed due ...
Credit: Lockheed Martin A secretive DARPA office has a new project: a large hypersonic bomber prototype. The Aerospace Projects Office (APO) keeps a low profile, even by DARPA standards.
The Missile Defense Agency additionally requested $182.3 million for hypersonic defense in FY2025, down from its $190.6 million request in FY2024 and $225.5 million request in FY2023. At present ...
The U.S. and China are developing hypersonic missiles, hard-to-detect weapons that can reach at least five times the speed of sound. WSJ compares the missiles’ design differences as the race to ...
California-based space company Rocket Lab will launch more hypersonic test vehicles for the U.S. Military, as the Department of Defense (DOD) continues to invest in hypersonic technology.
This development is crucial for next-generation hypersonic missiles, which travel faster than Mach 5. The successful ground test demonstrated ignition and stable combustion, marking progress in ...
