| Description: |
A computer generated simulation of a flight of a Hyper-X research vehicle. The Hyper-X research vehicle rides on a booster rocket which is launched by a B-52 at about 40,000 feet. The booster accelerates the vehicle to the test conditions (Mach 5, 7, or 10) at approximately 100,000 feet, where it separates from the vehicle. The vehicle then flies under its own power and pre-programmed control. The Hyper-X program seeks to demonstrate "air-breathing" engine technologies that promise to increase payload capacity for future vehicles from hypersonic aircraft to reusable space launchers. |
