Experimental Aircraft to Go From Zero to 13,000 in Hypersonic Test Launch
The Air Force has postponed the launch of an unmanned aircraft that can travel at the breakneck speed of 20 times the speed of sound.
The Falcon HTV-2 is an arrow-shaped aircraft that launches on a rocket, separates and then glides at hypersonic speeds of 13,000 mph through the Earth’s atmosphere. (To put it in perspective, it would take less than 12 minutes to fly from New York to Los Angeles.)
The flight overview looks something like a rocket launch. The aircraft takes off in a rocket and eventually breaks free. It re-enters the Earth’s upper atmosphere before evening out, like a jet in flight.
After a brief flight, the aircraft takes a nose dive into the sea near Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. In all, the Falcon HTV-2 will have flown 4,000 miles from its original take off at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
"The first flight of HTV-2 allowed DARPA to greatly increase our understanding of the hypersonic environments encountered by the vehicle," said Col. Kent Nickle, Chief of SMC/SD's Launch Systems Division and HTV-2 Flight 2 Mission Director, in a statement.
"The entire team is looking forward to yet another successful flight demonstration for our DARPA partners." The launch window on Thursday stretches from 7 a.m. PST to 1 p.m. PST, an Air Force spokesman said.
The goal of the project is to eventually enable the U.S. military to strike anywhere in the world in less than an hour.
