Despite the problem, the aircraft reached speeds around Mach 20 (about 15,000 mph) and was able to control its flight for several minutes, officials said.
"HTV-2 demonstrated stable, aerodynamically controlled Mach 20 hypersonic flight for approximately three minutes," said DARPA director Regina Dugan in an Aug. 14 statement. "We do not yet know the cause of the anomaly for Flight 2."
yes and a bit on purpose this time. Per sec vs per hour is the flaw.
By contradicting the obvious flaw in the statement ment they actually saw the post Stu. And it gave reality that USA can go around the world in about an hour and 15 min minutes given the equator is 18,000 miles and a little wet wheeling.
If the navigator can actually fly a plane at that speed.
With the use of antistatic material such is what is apart of linesman boots the more friction the more it repels electricity and this sling shot air ship design the faster it goes the more protection from running into a bird or small debris as it would push electro carbon forms away from the hull. It is new technology emerging.
A person inside is going to be Herculean task to compensate for the huge g forces involved but to deliver goods and services around the globe such technology could indeed make it possible to ship something from lax to Australia in under an hour in case some one might want to order take out....
