@jamesmaddison4546

Жыл бұрын

hypersonic rockets have been a thing since the start man. just look up the speeds of the early rockets. then things like the v2. jupiter, russian orbital rockets, saturn, soyuz, shuttle, all of it goes hypersonic. always has. the hypersonic race happening today is completely different. the race today is for WITHIN ATMOSPHERE hypersonic flight with completely maneuverable platforms to avoid any defenses etc. this is incredibly hard because in the atmosphere means significant heating on the bodies, maneuvering add those speeds adds extreme stresses and so on. this is what militaries are pursuing. the public hear it and think hypersonic rocket flight is a new thing. i mean like cmon, you know what orbital velocity is right? 17,500mph around. youre wayyyy deep into hypersonic flight at those speeds

@TheExplosiveGuy

Жыл бұрын

​@@jamesmaddison4546 To add to your info, another benefit with in-atmo hypersonic missiles is the massive increase to it's Specific Impulse over conventional solid or liquid fueled rockets, since the rocket only needs to carry fuel after the first stage has brought the missile up to speed for the ramjet to take over, the distance the missile can fly is much higher than a conventional ballistic missile since all it's oxygen is coming from the atmosphere instead of onboard tanks, so the fuel tanks can be enlarged to fill the volume oxygen normally would. It would be like the difference between using bottled high pressure air to run a car, no matter how much volume of that car you fill with compressed air, or even cryogenic liquid air (assuming the fuel tank is optimized/stoichiometric to the air supply), it won't run anywhere near as long as it would running from atmospheric air, since the car can be optimized to carry more fuel with the increased volume that the air tanks would have occupied. They're actually quite terrifying if you ask me, a nuclear missile traveling at Mach 10 with at _least_ the maneuverability of a fighter jet makes me go a little pale...
