the exact performance will take sev-
eral months, but mission officials
were jubilant.
“Once again we made aviation
history. We did that in March when
we went seven times the speed of
sound and now we’ve done it right
around 10 times the speed of sound,”
said Vince Rausch, Hyper-X program
manager from NASA’s Langley
Research Center in Virginia.
The X-43A, mounted on a
Pegasus rocket used to boost it to
flight speed, was carried under the
wing of a B-52 aircraft and released
at an altitude of 40,000 feet over a
test range off the Southern California
coast. The rocket motor then fired for
a 90-second ascent.
“It’s 90 seconds of terror, but
once it’s over with you realize that
you’ve really accomplished some
great things,” said Joel Sitz, the X-
43A project manager at Dryden.
Like its predecessors, the X-43A
will not be recovered from the ocean.
The flight was the last in a $230
million-plus effort to test technology
most likely to be initially used in mil-
itary aircraft, such as a bomber that
could reach any target on Earth with-
in two hours of takeoff from the
United States, or to power missiles.
Scramjets may also provide an
alternative to rockets for space :Ti
launches.
Unlike conventional jet engines ..
which use rotating fan blades to com-,
press air for combustion, the X-43A
has no such rotating engine parts.
