China May Have a Devastating Hypersonic Advantage?

Interesting idea except that this will be  likely long tested and understood in the US defense industry.

The only tech we see there will be formally shared often decades after the original work.  My own brush with the industry that determined control systems were been developed to support Mach 5+.

What we see, we are meant to see.  Same holds true for the Chinese and the Russians who want us to believe they are much more effective than possible.

We still would like to achieve Mach 50 at some point or the other if that is ever possible. .

 

China May Have a Devastating Hypersonic Advantage

The Starry Sky-2, which is an experimental design known as a wave rider – for its ability to ride on the shock waves it generates – completed its first test flight on Friday at an undisclosed location in northwest China, the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics said in a statement issued on Monday.


The aircraft was carried into space by a multistage rocket before separating and relying on its own power. During independent flight it conducted extreme turning man oeuvres, maintained velocities above Mach 5.5 (five-and-a-half times the speed of sound) for more than 400 seconds, and achieved a top speed of Mach 6, or 7,344km/h (4,563mph), the statement said.

Mike Ward: China is getting more dangerous by the minute.


On Friday, astonishing footage was revealed showing strange plumes of light over Beijing skies – a phenomenon created by a secret hypersonic missile test.


Though Chinese officials haven’t confirmed this latest round of testing, the writing is on the wall…


Beijing has already released footage and boasted that its new aircraft could deliver nuclear missiles at such high speeds that they’d be nearly impossible to defend against.


These new weapons can move through the sky at speeds up to 15,300 mph – 20 times faster than the speed of sound – and can strike anywhere on the globe within minutes or even seconds, rendering current nuclear weapons completely useless.


And the Pentagon reported to Congress earlier this year that China has piloted 20 times more hypersonic flight tests than the U.S. Make no mistake: China’s stealthy test marks a disturbing escalation in this arms race. You need to be prepared for this. Thanks to Mike Ward Strategic Tech Investor
