Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Hypersonic aircraft to go 5 times the speed
of sound
Takes only half an hour from LA to NY? That
sounds like a game changer for traveling, doesn’t it?
Sorry, this isn’t for transoceanic or transcontinental
passenger flights but for intercontinental weapon carrier. This newly tested
unmanned aircraft can travel five times faster than the speed of sound, or Mach
five. It flies so fast that it will hardly be detected or intercepted.
Will that be the best use of human
ingenuity and technology? How much carbon footprint will it leave?
Enjoy reading the article and watching the video.
