  2. Hypersonic speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed

    Simulation of hypersonic speed (Mach 5) While the definition of hypersonic flow can be quite vague and is generally debatable (especially because of the absence of discontinuity between supersonic and hypersonic flows), a hypersonic flow may be characterized by certain physical phenomena that can no longer be analytically discounted as in supersonic flow.

  3. Mach number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number

    The word Mach is always capitalized since it derives from a proper name, and since the Mach number is a dimensionless quantity rather than a unit of measure, the number comes after the word Mach. It was also known as Mach's number by Lockheed when reporting the effects of compressibility on the P-38 aircraft in 1942. [5]

    Mach Five was designed by Mitsuki Nakamura, who was the art director of Tatsunoko Production, which produced the 1967 TV anime series. [1] [2]The initial plan was to keep the original manga [a] design for the anime production, but it was decided to redesign the car, and Nakamura, a car enthusiast, was entrusted with the task. [3]

    In November 1961, Air Force Major Robert White flew the X-15 research aircraft at speeds over Mach 6. [4] [5] On 3 October 1967, in California, an X-15 reached Mach 6.7. [6] The reentry problem of a space vehicle was extensively studied. [7] The NASA X-43A flew on scramjet for 10 seconds, and then glided for 10 minutes on its last flight in 2004.

    Testing continued there until a simulated X-51 flight at Mach 5 was successfully completed on 30 April 2007. [13] [14] The testing is intended to observe acceleration between Mach 4 and Mach 6 and to demonstrate that hypersonic thrust "isn't just luck". [15] [16] Four captive test flights were initially planned for 2009.
