Worried at Russia and China’s technological edge, the US aims to have a hypersonic weapon by 2025, the US Navy said in a report. A fortnight later, Vladimir Putin was watching the test launch of Russia’s newest hypersonic missile. The state-of-the-art Avangard hypersonic glider was successfully tested December 26. It performed in-flight vertical and horizontal […]
The US is currently unable to repel an attack from the hypersonic weapons that are being developed by Russia and China, as they can pierce most missile defense systems, a recent US government report has revealed. “China and Russia are pursuing hypersonic weapons because their speed, altitude, and maneuverability may defeat most missile defense systems, […]
The Pentagon’s DARP agency has started to develop a hard-kill interceptor capable of hitting incoming hypersonic projectiles. The move follows news of Russia’s success in building top-class high-speed weapons. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has launched a high-tech project to develop an interceptor to shoot down enemy hypersonic missiles, the Drive reported. In […]
The future Russian spacecraft, set to replace tried and trusted Soyuz, has been tested in a hypersonic wind tunnel. The capsule will not be protected by a fairing during launch and requires refining of its shape and composition. The spacecraft, called PTK Federation, has been meticulously developed during the past decade. It is being designed […]
Russia’s Deputy Defense Minister has hinted at an early start to the mass production of the boost-glide Avangard hypersonic systems and has shared new details about Russia’s other recently-unveiled, seemingly futuristic weapons. “This is not a bluff, but a reality,” Yury Borisov told Russian Ministry of Defense news outlet, Krasnaya Zvezda.

In a bid to be the first to revolutionise their military and civilian programs, Beijing hope to come out top having revealed their research into the hypersonic plane. The Concorde plane, which could cross the Atlantic in three and half hours, hasn’t flown since 2003. The plane which could operate at a maximum speed over […]
Chinese researchers have proposed a new design for hypersonic aircraft that could reintroduce the biplane to modern aviation. In a scientific article published by Science China Press, four Chinese researchers propose the creation of a “high-pressure capturing wing” (HCW), which could be used to help aircraft with large volumes achieve hypersonic speeds. Using a biplane-like […]
Boeing Boeing unveiled a conceptual model for a hypersonic jet that would replace the SR-71 Blackbird. The jet would hit speeds of more than Mach 5 No one has committed to building it yet. Boeing recently unveiled a conceptual model for a new hypersonic jet that would replace the SR-71 Blackbird, according to Aviation Week […]
The US and its allies are determined to be first out of the gate with hypersonic weapons, and they’ve just taken a big stride forward in that regard… not that they’re saying much about it.
