Hypersonic flight refers to travel at speeds greater than five times the speed of sound, or Mach 5. This technology allows aircraft and missiles to move extremely fast, significantly reducing travel time. Hypersonic vehicles can glide through the atmosphere or fly in a powered state, utilizing advanced propulsion systems. The development of hypersonic technology has implications for both military and civilian applications. For instance, military forces are interested in hypersonic missiles for their ability to evade traditional defense systems. Additionally, commercial aviation could benefit from hypersonic travel, potentially enabling long-distance flights in a fraction of the time currently required.
