U.S. develops a hypersonic jet to lightning strikes

It reaches 7,000 km per hour and is built jointly by the Pentagon and Boeing. He proved it yesterday at the military base in California. In a military development that can substantially change the reaction time of war, the U.S. military tested an airplane which would reach at least for a few minutes the top speed of 7,000 kilometers per hour. This is a hypersonic jet called X51A Waverider (cabalgaolas), built jointly by the Pentagon and Boeing. The device can reach six times the speed of sound (Mach 6). An example of his ability is to cover the London-New York in just one hour. According to the Washington Post, the first trial began yesterday at the Edwards Air Force Base in California. A B-52 bomber flew the hypersonic jet beneath the surface charge and then the experimental plane to fly off by itself. The test results were kept secret, although it transpired that the aircraft was scheduled to fly more than 300 seconds and after that time must be destroyed in a controlled manner over the Pacific. The project is run by Boeing and the research department within the U.S. Armed Forces, the Darpa (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). The ambitious program of the Pentagon, Prompt Global Strike, aims to make the U.S. military reach a target anywhere on the Earth in the course of one hour. The WaveRider could make it happen because it allows a lightning raid. Another important fact is that if this engine technology works, then it could supply power to the first hypersonic cruise missile in the world. The apparatus called "Waverider" for their ability to "ride" on the pressure waves created by high-speed and thereby increase its speed.After winning speed, aerodynamic aircraft reaches a speed such that the air entering the front will compress tightly into its own. Fuel combustion in there that would give more speed jet. The technology called "scramjet" works on the principle of the ramjet, known for some time. The engine needs many fewer parts than a traditional turbine. This is essentially a self-propelling nozzle.
