Use of these aircraft, Sabang Until Merauke Just 1 hour

LOS ANGELES, KOMPAS.com -A Thunderbirds-style hipersonik jet aircraft developed for long-distance military aviation in the future. Bernma aircraft X-51A WaveRider was using a revolutionary machine can traverse a distance can make it to Sabang Merauke in under 1 hour.

On Tuesday (14/8/2012) today, the aircraft was tested. The aircraft will be flown from Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert, California, with bomber wing. Later, the jet will be released from a height of 15,24 km near Cape Point Mugu.

Once released, the engine will start working in the aircraft and made the move up to 4.5 Mach airliner or 5513 km/h in a few seconds. If all goes well, the plane can move up to speed or Mach 6 7350 km/h and ride height is reached 21,34 miles.

This mission will last for 300 seconds, the longest aircraft flight experienced by the aircraft. After that the aircraft would "ditabrakkan" into the sea and there are no plans to salvage the aircraft violently.

Hipersonik aircraft development project was funded by NASA and the Pentagon. Expected, the aircraft could be used for military purposes in the future. According to Globalsecurity.org, funds needed reaches 89 million pounds.

Why was the plane that fast? There is a secret. Screamjet this is the plane because the aircraft was not airbreathing carrying fuel and oxygen, but rather just carry the fuel in the form of hydrogen and ' interesting ' oxygen is needed to burn it in the atmosphere.

The air going into the front of mesih and hydrogen will be injected into the airflow. Compressed Gas causing temperature rises and combustion occurs. This resulted in a boost which allows jet travelling at high speeds.

The development of this aircraft in line with the development of future aircraft, supersonic aircraft with a speed of more than 5 times the speed of sound. Supersonic development as well as the evolution of aircraft-driven propeller to jet aircraft.

Robert Mercier, Deputy technology system at high speed in Air Force Research laboratorydi Ohio was quoted as saying the Daily Mail today said, "since the wright Brothers, we continue to strive to develop the plane better and faster. Hipersonik is one of the potential in flight. "

Currently, the fastest passenger aircraft is the Cessna Citation X is capable of reaching speeds of 1126 km/h or 0.9 Mach, although only 7 passenger hauling. Another plane is the Falcon 7 x 1102 speed km/h as well as Gulfstream G550 with 1086 speed km/h.
