How fast is hypersonic?

Technically any speed above Mach 5 is considered to be hypersonic. Most flight testing and research has been done in the Mach 5-10 range; however, aerospace engineers are already talking about the capability of a vehicle reaching a speed of Mach 25. Hypersonic Propulsion Devices The most recent technology capable of propelling aircraft to hypersonic speeds is the scramjet.

This is a version of the ramjet but the difference is that the airflow is not slowed down. All of the air going through the engine is travelling at supersonic speeds. This technology is mechanically the simplest of all the propulsion engines, but aerodynamically, it is the most complex.

In order for the aircraft to reach these speeds, the total weight must be as light as possible. This is a large part of the reason why jet engine scramjets are used instead of rocket engines. If a rocket were used, the aircraft would have to carry its own fuel supply, making the weight heavier.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
