Advanced Hypersonics Project

The Advanced Hypersonics Project focuses on developing technology for vehicles that can travel at speeds greater than five times the speed of sound (Mach 5+). This includes designing faster aircraft and missiles that can cover long distances quickly and penetrate defenses. The project aims to solve complex challenges related to heat, materials, and aerodynamics at such extreme speeds. Success in this area could enhance national security, improve global rapid-response capabilities, and advance aerospace technology, ultimately enabling more efficient and capable high-speed travel and defense systems.
