uh oh troll is back with outrageous claims. Does this forum not ban trolls?

"supersonic" cruise missile with S-dive for terminal kinetic entry operable in hi-lo modes. Still think an air defense system will be able to take it out? :hail::brahmos: The only weakness is I see is a positioning system based target identification system. If Brahmos Aerospace can instead...

China has a robust hypersonic technology development program peer a report to the US congress. Of course, some of these claims would be exaggerated to milk the Congress for R&D moneys. See here: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/weapons/R45811.pdf Excerpts from that report: China has tested the DF-ZF...

Boeing's X-51 wave rider slung under a B52 used to get the missile to required altitude. X51 flew in 2013 hypersonically for 210 seconds, the most flown by any hypersonic vehicle. Photo: Boeing

This is true. Hypersonic research costs a ton as there is only so much you can do with computational fluid dynamics modeling and wind tunnel tests. Here is a simulation of shock waves created simulated for the X-43 flying at Mach 7. Per authors: "This rendering of the NASA X-43 experimental...
