US militarys experimental hypersonic weapon explodes seconds after launch
2014-08-26 17:01:47| Extremetech
It must be the season for exploding rockets: The US Army's experimental Advanced Hypersonic Weapon, which will eventually be able to bomb anywhere in the world within an hour, exploded just four seconds after launch in Alaska. Similar to last week's self-detonating SpaceX rocket, the US Department of Defense detected an error within the system shortly after launch, and thus decided to detonate the entire thing rather than risk any extra collateral damage. No one was injured by the incident, though falling debris did damage the rocket's Kodiak Launch Complex.

Lockheed unveils SR-72 hypersonic Mach 6 scramjet spy plane
2013-11-06 20:52:49| Extremetech
Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works has confirmed that it is developing the SR-72 spy plane. The successor to the SR-71 Blackbird, which was capable of Mach 3.5, the SR-72 will be a hypersonic unmanned aircraft capable of Mach 6, or just over 4,500 mph. At hypersonic speeds, the SR-72 will be able to traverse any continent in around an hour -- meaning the US military can strike or surveil any location on Earth in about an hour.
