X-43A Hyper-X - NASA
2024年1月5日 · The eight-year, approximately $230 million NASA Hyper-X program was a high-risk, high-payoff research program. It undertook challenges never before attempted. No vehicle powered by an air-breathing engine had ever flown at hypersonic speeds before the successful March 2004 flight.
This paper provides an overview of the final flight of the NASA X-43A project. The project consisted of three flights, two planned for Mach 7 and one for Mach 10.
X-43A (Hyper-X) - NASA
2016年3月7日 · Four decades of supersonic-combustion ramjet propulsion research culminated in a successful flight of the X-43A hypersonic technology demonstrator in March 2004, the first time a scramjet-powered aircraft had flown freely.

NASA'S X-43A Scramjet Breaks Speed Record - NASA
2013年6月5日 · NASA’s X-43A research vehicle screamed into the record books again Tuesday, demonstrating an air-breathing engine can fly at nearly 10 times the speed of sound. Preliminary data from the scramjet-powered research vehicle show its revolutionary engine worked successfully at nearly Mach 9.8, or 7,000 mph, as it flew at about 110,000 feet.
NASA – NASA X-43A ‘Scramjet’ Being Readied for Mach 10 Flight
2013年6月5日 · NASA’s high-risk, high-payoff Hyper-X Program is ready to attempt its greatest challenge yet – flying a “scramjet”-powered X-43A research vehicle at nearly 10 times the speed of sound. Officials have set Nov. 15 or 16 for the flight, which will take place in restricted U.S. Naval airspace over the Pacific Ocean northwest of Los Angeles.
X-43 Goes Hypersonic - NASA
2008年3月23日 · NASA’s X-43A research vehicle has screamed into the record books, demonstrating an air-breathing engine can fly at nearly 10 times the speed of sound.
X-43A Powered Flight (Scramjet Engine Experiment): • The scramjet experiment/fuel on began approximately 5 seconds after separation • The maximum powered Mach number was 9.68 • During powered flight, the X-43A flight controls maintained the desired vehicle angle-of-attack of 1 degree within an acceptable tolerance.
X-43A Mission Profile - NASA
2014年1月13日 · NASA made aviation history with the first and second successful flights of a scramjet-powered airplane at hypersonic speeds – speeds greater than Mach 5 or five times the speed of sound.
Forget Movie Magic, NASA Armstrong has the Real Thing
2023年9月14日 · In terms of aircraft, NASA’s uncrewed X-43A came closest to achieving Mach 10, hitting Mach 9.68 during a flight on Nov. 16, 2004. The flight research and testing was handled by NASA Armstrong. Children walk around the Darkstar prop made for the Top Gun: Maverick.
