Hypersonic breakthrough could make hour-long global flights possible

Hypersonic flight could turn marathon international trips into hour-long journeys, bringing science fiction closer to reality. A new experiment supports Morkovin’s long-debated hypothesis, showing that turbulence at Mach 6 mimics that of slower airflows. This revelation could make hypersonic flight, and perhaps access to space, much more feasible. Hypersonic flight: from science fiction to reality […]
