The Mysterious Aircraft Built to Break an Impossible Record
In the bustling Atlanta, Georgia, facility of the pioneering aerospace startup Hermeus Corporation, a crack team of scientists and engineers armed with a vast array of high-performance power tools make all-important tweaks to their revolutionary new aircraft, the Quarterhorse. Having already developed the turbine-based combined cycle Chimera engine, a machine as innovative as it is powerful, Hermeus is now busy creating the perfect vehicle to put its abilities to the test.
A sleek, sophisticated jet of the future, the Quarterhorse is being built with one clear objective: speed. As the prototypes zoom through the clouds at hypersonic velocities, pushing the limits of aviation technology, the Quarterhorse keeps its eye on the grand prize: the airspeed record set by the Blackbird SR-71 in 1976. Nearly 50 years later, the Blackbird remains number one, with no aircraft able to better its impressive feat. Yet, as the Quarterhorse project steams ahead, it seems there may finally be a challenger for the Blackbird’s crown.

For it's size it's under armed
You are using the same engine j58 with Limited bypass ram air s4 lp You need to have complete bypass of the rotor system introducing heat at the reheat rings allowing the rotor to come to a stop 2/3 of a turbojet energy is used in turning itself Still use a turbojet with blocker doors for complete bypass Mikey knows 😊
Why does everyone repeat the idea that Russia expected to win easily? Where is there source? Russia has fought in wars in Afghanistan and the caucus regions that have lasted years and years.
Mock-ups, aspirations, wind tunnels, bla bla bla. I’ll care when it actually flies and lives up to the hype
But at what cost (BBC)?
Propoganda alert! It was the US taxpayers who are responsible, yet we didn't vote on this. This channel is getting stupid
bring back the old title
Excellent stuff bro
Dear Mr Dark. You've really outdone yourself with hyperbole in your intro here. Well-played, sir(?)
Sure. It's fast. Still not as good as the Transporter Beam on Star Trek. When they perfect that, they will get my attention.
中国的飞机和军舰将会在全球航行,因为海洋是全人类的,不是某些国家的。
Was this made on April 1?
Everything China has built up in their military was either helped with American corporate greed. What wasn't given to China, they stole in intellectual property. ..
So a Shahed but in stealth 🥷.
4:44 You are talking about Sara CV 60 but keep showing Sara CV 3. Why?
No mention of the Concorde, the airliner that did mach 2.04 casually, beginning back in 69
Oh please please please let there actually be a futuristic hypersonic Valkyrie in the works!!
President Xi, prepare to take Taiwan in 7 days.
Lmao, it's the same size as an mq-9 reaper with roughly 2/3 the payload and less flight time. They got away to go, I'd say
Wish that commentator would go somewhere else! His breathless commentary is totally annoying!!
Carefully avoiding mentioning the X-51A Waverider that sustained Mach 5.1 (3,400 mph) in 2013. Wouldn't look good to investors to know that the supposedly "impossible record" was broken more than ten years ago. Not to mention all those Russian "hypersonic cruise missiles" that are being used routinely in the war in Ukraine.
Sorry to break it to you but the military has already broken Mach 5 but is classified. Don’t ask me how I know.
this new aircraft shouldn't even have the opportunity for the attempt to break the record on the count that its unmanned
It's just a way to get government money. It won't work.
The military is also working on cloaking technology for fighter jets,they will be almost completely invisible and won't show on radar,almost impossible to target and destroy, they are working on ot for ships also
Loved this one! I’ve never heard of this project.
LOL total revisionist history, I have been told my entire life blackbird went over 5,000 mph
My farts are faster
Seems like everyone is adding snow to their video's
Did I miss the part about dealing with sonic booms?
I.E. ..... A cruise missile
Nothing is Ukrainian. It is all illegal NATO interference. This was not any fancy "AWACS", which BTW was an American plane.
That doesn’t look very fast with props driving it. Would be an easy target if its rockets didn’t get you first.
Stealth..😂
Ukraine will put their hand out and want these for free
This will not be commercially viable unless it can carry over 250 passengers, which is highly unlikely. The problem is found in two words: Gates, and Slots. If you can only carry 100 passengers, it will take take you four trips to carry the same number of one Airbus A350. What that means is that you will need for landing slots and four gate visits. The A350 needs one landing slot and one gate. Also, the hub and spoke model means that if you only being in 100 passengers, your slower planes can't be filled to the same capacity and make your arrival/departure window for the connecting flights. As an executive jet, a hypersonic might have some appear, but the commercial airliners can't really get enough use out of this kind of plane to want to buy it. It is gates and slots that will keep this plane from being successful in the commercial market unless they can get at least 200 seats and baggage, and that would be quite an engineering feat. The Lear Jet could go faster than the Cessna Citation, but even though the Citation was slower, it could land at far more airports and carry more people. When the Citation came out, critics said it just was not fast enough to compete with Lear, but in two years, Lear sales plummeted, and the Citation line became the most successful business jet line in history. Speed is not everything.
X15 was much faster than sr71.
The X15 used a rocket engine, not an air breathing engine. The difference is that a rocket engine provides its own oxidizer (which is why they work in space), jet engines use the oxygen in the surrounding air as its oxidizer.
The X15 was air launched by B52, SR 71 and its cousin's were capable of taking off like regular planes. Furthermore X15 was a research craft, SR71 was used in military service.
On top of all of those factors, the X15 wasn't a production aircraft. It was a technology demonstrator/research vehicle. The Quarterhorse is also a demonstrator, but it's not really the one that will be the record-breaker...it's just proving or disproving the viability of their engine technology under actual flight conditions. When they've learned enough from the Quarterhorse program, they'll move into an actual production program...that's when the record would be considered broken, when a manned production jet-powered craft makes an unassisted launch, breaks the record, and then lands. Everything up to that point is just a step towards an attempt at the record.
We all know the quality of things made in china
And the saucer is hitting in excess of 15,000 mph and the SR-71 even with this record number is only 1,900 mph. It's like an eighth of the speed While suffering none of the heat problems and using super cavitation so you don't have anybody even knowing you're in the airspace cuz you're running silent And when I say silent I mean hearing wise but also silent because any radar is going to get destroyed by the super cavitation cloud. You're just not going to get any feedback to your station so she's still silent
The Americans were afraid of the Aero.
If they can get the engine to work reliably, this system will be the next standard right alongside rotating detonating rocket engines.
Made in China. Enough said.
Who is that man who designed gun?
But will it go to plaid?
they must've overshot us by a week & a half
If they mess with Taiwan they will not likely ever forget it. We might have a ageing president. But our military is beyond anything this planet has ever experienced.most technology in military hasn't been used. Never been n😅eeded.
Step up tyrants.
Think SkunkWorks got them beat.
Then it goes up to HYPER SPEED.
Oh yeah, I've heard of this and they start out using our F-5's GEJ85-15, I believe?
