(i saw a few seconds of footage on a news update this morning) Australia did have the first successful atmospheric test. I think that's what is confusing your downunderdog self.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3572909.stmThe first-ever free flight of a scramjet was conducted by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) in 2001. Its engine was fired from a gun in an enclosed facility on the ground.
A year later, University of Queensland researchers flew their HyShot scramjet on a missile.

NASA will film the trial.
"You'll see the takeoff of the B-52 from Edwards Air Force Base and its climb out and there will be a chase plane with a television camera on it," Brown said.
"When the launch actually occurs, we'll have a camera view from one of the chase planes that is flying alongside and slightly to the rear," he said.
"And they will get the dropping, the X-43 and the booster rocket that will drop away from the B-52. We should get the ignition of the rocket and its acceleration forward and its pitching up. At that point, we are probably going to lose it, because it will outrun the chase planes -- seriously."
Brown said NASA was "trying to arrange to utilize some other aircraft that are not NASA aircraft, that have some very specialized type of camera equipment, visual and infrared, to be able to track the vehicle as it is flying at very high altitude.
"We don't know if we'll be able to release that footage publicly. It's an army aircraft, it's not from a satellite."

.Roid, EVERYTHING he posts is sarcasm. Thats just how he is. Matter of fact, I don't think he's ever made a serious post on this BB at all.roid wrote:no i think i've got stingray's personality down pretty well. there is no sarcasm. sarcasm is where you are momentarily acting out a part.
so be sure to tell me when his "i'm a jamroll" act stops, do this by sending me an email or something, i dunno, maybe a tellegram? (i can't read morse), how about just quote-posting it on the thread in question in a really big font. maybe red too. so no-one misses it when he actually takes the time to prove to the rest of us on this forum that he actually owns a hearts that is at least 5degrees above absolute 0Kelvin. and actually IS less shallow than the saucepan i fry my french toast on in the mornings (with basil!!! mmm basil).
BS!!! ive made plenty of serious postsMD-2389 wrote:Roid, EVERYTHING he posts is sarcasm. Thats just how he is. Matter of fact, I don't think he's ever made a serious post on this BB at all.
k... it's my calling in life. I've made serious posts before, but I much prefer to be an asshole

you will be long dead and burning in hell when that day comes... but maybe you can fart hard enough and reach warp speed in hell, from the heat igniting your flammable methane release under some serious pressure from eating too many rasins and other "fart" foodsKumba wrote:I'm not really interested in this mach speed crap.

Written by ROBERT JABLON LOS ANGELES (AP) - Three years after its first test flight ended in an explosion, NASA on Saturday successfully launched an experimental jet that the agency believes reached a record-setting speed of about 5,000 mph.
The unpiloted X-43A made an 11-second powered flight, then went through some twists and turns during a six-minute glide before plunging into the Pacific Ocean about 400 miles off the California coast.
``It was fun all the way to Mach 7,'' said Joel Sitz, project manager at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center.
Flight engineer Lawrence Huebner said preliminary data indicated the needle-nosed jet reached a maximum speed of slightly over seven times the speed of sound, or about 5,000 mph, after a rocket boosted it to about 3,500 mph.
Huebner said it was the first time an ``air-breathing'' jet had ever traveled so fast. The rocket-powered X-15 reached Mach 6.7 in 1967.
``It's a great way to end, certainly all the sweeter because of the challenges we've had to step up to and overcome through the life of this project,'' said Griffin Corpening, Dryden's chief engineer on the project.
) could answer this for me. i don't know much about guns. from what i understand: most guns fire supersonic rounds, which is partially why unsilenced guns are so freaking loud.
