Flying at Speeds up to Mach 17 Could Become Reality

Posted by in categories: military, space travel

University of Central Florida researchers are building on their technology that could pave the way for hypersonic flight, such as travel from New York to Los Angeles in under 30 minutes.

In their latest research published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers discovered a way to stabilize the detonation needed for hypersonic propulsion by creating a special hypersonic reaction chamber for jet engines.


The UCF-developed propulsion system could allow for flight speeds of Mach 6 to 17 and would have applications in air and space travel.
