Hypersonic travel

Hypersonic travel refers to speeds exceeding Mach 5, which is five times the speed of sound (about 3,800 miles per hour or 6,100 kilometers per hour at sea level). This advanced technology has potential applications in military, space exploration, and commercial aviation. Hypersonic vehicles can reduce travel times significantly, allowing for rapid global transportation. However, achieving and sustaining such speeds presents challenges, including high temperatures, air pressure effects, and the need for advanced materials and propulsion systems. Researchers are actively working to make hypersonic travel safer, more efficient, and more practical for the future.
