Information gained from Tuesday's record-setting flight of NASA's Hyper-X research vehicle will be used by Boeing [NYSE: BA] as it designs the future of flight. Powered by an air-breathing supersonic combustion ramjet engine, or "scramjet," NASA's 12.3-foot-long Hyper-X (or X-43A) flew close to Mach 10, or about 7,200 miles per hour, on Nov. 16.

The NASA X-43 was an experimental unmanned hypersonic aircraft with multiple planned scale variations meant to test various aspects of hypersonic flight. It was part of the X-plane series and specifically of NASA 's Hyper-X program developed in the late 1990s. [1] It set several airspeed records for jet aircraft.

The NB-52B launched the Hyper-X stack at an altitude of 40,000 feet, heading due west. The stack dropped for five seconds before the Pegasus booster ignited. The Pegasus booster climbed to 110,000 feet and accelerated to Mach 9.8 in about 90 seconds and then released the X-43A. Once it was established that the X-43A was in stable flight, the.

X-43A Flight Makes Aviation History.. Tennessee, and Ronkonkoma, New York, built the three X-43A research aircraft and engines. Boeing Phantom Works in Huntington Beach, California, designed the thermal protection and onboard systems. The booster was a modified Pegasus rocket built by Orbital Sciences Corp. in Chandler, Arizona.

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.

The X-43A splashed down beyond the NAWC-WD Sea Test Range in the open o cean and was not recovered. III. Mission Objectives The primary objective of the X-43A project was to demonstrate the performance of an airframe-integrated, scramjet-powered vehicle at selected test conditions. Data were acquired to verify scramjet, aerodynamics, and
