NASA's high-risk, high-payoff Hyper-X Program is ready to attempt its greatest challenge yet - flying a "scramjet"-powered X-43A research vehicle at nearly 10 times the speed of sound. Officials have set Nov. 15 or 16 for the flight, which will take place in restricted U.S. Naval airspace over the Pacific Ocean northwest of Los Angeles.

The X-43A splashed down beyond the NAWC-WD Sea Test Range in the open o cean and was not recovered. III. Mission Objectives The primary objective of the X-43A project was to demonstrate the performance of an airframe-integrated, scramjet-powered vehicle at selected test conditions. Data were acquired to verify scramjet, aerodynamics, and

The NASA X-43 was an experimental unmanned hypersonic aircraft with multiple planned scale variations meant to test various aspects of hypersonic flight. It was part of the X-plane series and specifically of NASA 's Hyper-X program developed in the late 1990s. [1] It set several airspeed records for jet aircraft.
