- The SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest reusable aircraft ever, will soon be surpassed.
In this video, we will tell you about a program that promises to make hypersonic flight a reality - Hermeus Quarterhorse! Believe us, it's coming sooner than you think!
It took almost 70 years to match the genius of Kelly Johnson. In an interview, a Skunk Works guy said, the Blackbird reached mach 4, but they didn‘t want somebody to know
Sr-71 had a turbo ramjet. I heard it would accelerate until it started to melt. Limited by temperature.
I’m thinking that they basically copied the J-58 from the SR-71/A-12 as for the most part works the same. Here’s a hint….. you know about it, it has been superseded many times over. As Ben Rich once told me “Anything you can think of we’re 1000 years ahead of already. Yes, I actually met and had a long conversation with the legend many years ago.
Look at reaction engines,sabre engine.
Trust me bro
Uhm... no. The first hypersonic aircraft is the X-15.
X-15 wasn’t an air breathing plane. It was a rocket with wings.
@@Gregc63it still flew in the atmosphere, making it an aircraft
@@dwiggs314 not sure if it was reusable
@@Walter-fw8cc It was reusable, im pretty sure they only had to change the engine
@@dwiggs314it has to take off from the ground. Not launched from an aircraft
made by Boeing... goes up in one piece, comes back down to earth in a dozen pieces
Obviously you haven’t worked on a Scarebus.
I'd be interested to hear how they solved the high speed air cooling. Did they buy out the SABRE company tech from the UK.
That may possibly be done electrical. Enveloping the aircraft in plasma.
What and when did the Russians do in this direction? This topic is at least 40 years old.
In the USSR, work on a hypersonic aircraft began at the Tupolev Design Bureau in the mid-1970s, based on the serial passenger aircraft Tu-144. Research and design was carried out on an aircraft capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 6 (TU-260) and a flight range of up to 12,000 km, as well as a hypersonic intercontinental aircraft TU-360. Its flight range was to reach 16,000 km. A project was even prepared for a passenger hypersonic aircraft Tu-244, designed to fly at an altitude of 28-32 km at a speed of Mach 4.5-5.
As a result of preliminary studies under the MVKS program, a power plant was selected based on proven and tested solutions. Existing air-breathing jet engines (ABE) that used atmospheric air had temperature limitations, they were used on aircraft whose speed did not exceed Mach 3, and rocket engines had to carry a large supply of fuel on board and were not suitable for long-term flights in the atmosphere. Therefore, an important decision was made - in order for the aircraft to be able to fly at supersonic speeds and at all altitudes, its engines should have features of both aviation and space technology. In February 1986, scientific research began in the United States to create the X-30 spaceplane with an air-breathing power plant, capable of entering orbit in a single-stage version. The National Aerospace Plane (NASP) project was distinguished by an abundance of new technologies, the key one of which was a dual-mode hypersonic ramjet engine, allowing flight at speeds of Mach 25. As a result, the working variant was a combination of an economical solid-fuel jet engine operating in the speed range of M = 0-2.5, a second engine - a ramjet engine accelerating the aircraft to M = 20 and a liquid-propellant rocket engine for entering orbit (acceleration to the first cosmic velocity of 7.9 km / s) and ensuring orbital maneuvers. Due to the complexity of solving the complex of scientific, technical and technological problems, the program was divided into two stages: the creation of an experimental hypersonic aircraft with a flight speed of up to M = 5-6, and the development of a prototype orbital vehicle ensuring the conduct of a flight experiment in the entire range of flights, up to space entry. In addition, at the second stage of work it was planned to create versions of the Tu-2000B space bomber, which was designed as a two-seater aircraft with a flight range of 10,000 km and a takeoff weight of 350 tons. Six engines powered by liquid hydrogen were to provide a speed of M = 6-8 at an altitude of 30-35 km.
The first time the model of the Tu-2000 aircraft was shown at the exhibition "Mosaeroshow-92". Before the work was stopped in 1992, the following were manufactured for the Tu-2000: a wing box made of nickel alloy, fuselage elements, cryogenic fuel tanks and composite fuel lines. The collapse of the USSR in 1992 stopped work on this project.
Project "Ayaks" - hypersonics in a new way
Work on the creation of a hypersonic aircraft was also carried out in the design bureau "Neva" (St. Petersburg), on the basis of which the State Research Enterprise of Hypersonic Speeds was formed.
The bureau approached the creation of a hypersonic aircraft in a fundamentally new way. The concept of the hypersonic aircraft "Ayaks" was put forward in the late 80s by Vladimir Lvovich Freishtadt. Its essence is that the hypersonic aircraft does not have thermal protection. The heat flow that occurs during hypersonic flight is admitted into the GLV to increase its energy resource. Thus, the GLV "Ayaks" was an open aerothermodynamic system that converted part of the kinetic energy of the hypersonic air flow into chemical and electrical energy, simultaneously solving the issue of airframe cooling. For this purpose, the main components of the chemical heat recovery reactor with a catalyst were designed, placed under the airframe skin. The aircraft skin in the most heat-stressed places had a two-layer shell. Between the layers of the shell, a catalyst made of heat-resistant material ("nickel sponge") was placed, which was an active cooling subsystem with chemical heat recovery reactors. According to calculations, in all hypersonic flight modes, the temperature of the airframe elements of the hypersonic aircraft did not exceed 800-850°C.
The hypersonic aircraft includes a ramjet engine with supersonic combustion integrated with the airframe and the main (cruiser) engine - a magneto-plasma-chemical engine (MPCE). The MPCE was designed to control the air flow using a magneto-gas-dynamic accelerator (MHD accelerator) and to generate electricity using an MHD generator. The generator had a capacity of up to 100 MW, which was quite enough to power a laser capable of hitting various targets in near-earth orbits. It was assumed that the cruising MPCE would be able to change the flight speed in a wide range of flight Mach numbers. Due to the braking of the hypersonic flow by a magnetic field, optimal conditions were created in the supersonic combustion chamber. During tests at the Central Aviation State Institute of the USSR, it was found that the hydrocarbon fuel created within the framework of the Ayaks concept burns several times faster than hydrogen. The MHD accelerator could "accelerate" the combustion products, increasing the maximum flight speed to M=25, which guaranteed entry into near-earth orbit. The civilian version of the hypersonic aircraft was designed for a flight speed of 6,000-12,000 km/h, a flight range of up to 19,000 km and the transportation of 100 passengers. There is no information about the military developments of the Ayaks project. According to some information, Russia is working in this direction. As always, quietly, without applause, in the silence of design bureaus.

What an enormous load of BS.
Russia is declining at an ever increasing rate because it is a failed social experiment with no rule of law, no computer industry, no international trade (no one wants to buy Russian made junk).
So rave on, I’m sure there’s someone who will like this fiction.
We had a hypersonic plane in the 1960s called the X-15. This video needs to be updated. And we beat the russians by a decade.
@@chelious1973it didn’t take off from the ground goon.
I like the blended lifting body shape of the aircraft in the thumbnail. It’d be interesting to see that bird fly
The late Erbakan Hoca designed this engine while he was an intern in Germany.
It looks like all airplanes get a BWB / delta wing design.
No more than a fast reusable missile. Put a pilot in it and then call it a plane.
Good job on your definition entry for airplane hower narrator, I will stick with my dictionary;)
It has so much more than that.. LOL
C L O W N ....
Very interesting video but I didn’t learn a single thing that 3000 other people have already said come up with something new and exciting and I’ll give you a like and subscribe
It's been this many years and we still haven't found materials for aircraft that will withstand the temparature at hypersonic speeds. We have seen what has been done to some of the x planes at those speeds looked like after and they were lucky to have survived . They looked like Swiss cheese some of them. Herre is to hoping they are spending as much on the materials science part on the outside and control surfaces as the rest of the future hypersonic planes.
faster than that according to the grapevine info i heard while in the USAF.
Goal is Mach 5. NASA has developed an an aircraft form, to minimize the sonic boom. This is needed for supersonic flight over land.
It is still a far way to Mach 25; orbital velocity. From a normal runway, to orbit and visiting a space station, and back to landing on a runway, would greatly normalize access to space. Deep space must be accessed from space stations; leaving rockets only for heavy cargo lift to LEO.

Hilariously way to launder billions when the SR71 can be used and/or rebuilt for millions for the same speeds…they just never told us.
A-12 Oxcart was faster than sr-71.
Not so. Both were pretty much the same speed. Neither will be really be ever 100% sure just how fast they were but we can almost be assured that the SR-72 is in fact real and is already flying and has most assuredly beat the A-12 and the SR-71.
Now what the Oxcart could do, carry a small tactical missile. If you dig deep, the test info is there. Somewhere in the 1 to 3 megaton warhead probably.
YF-12 was faster
the earlier models look like the old school Russian Migs.
things are getting too fast, there is no time to ferret things out, no time for strategy or communication. its a dangerous game.
Fail fast, adapt. That’s life now. Why not try?
I am so sick of "MK-anything". It's now and has always been Mark 1, Mark 2, etc.
Spelt mach
New York to London? How about Los Angeles to Melbourne?
maverick! here comes a new toy for you
Have you forgotten the true first hypersonic plane, the Space Shuttle?
X-15: hold my beer
@@MrKentaroMotoPI:
Neither of these were air breathers.
By the end of 2024????
SUPER CRAZY COSMO🔔⚠️!?
US already got these in the 70s, Remember How China got their hands on the SR73 Black raven drones, these are literally unmaned High altitude hypersonic surveillance drones with the speed of mach 3 - 5 But due to technology issues That once it goes too Fast and get heats up That the Drone looses the radio signal which remotely controlled it, So these drones crashed in China and in good condition which indicates That these drones crashed due to running out of fuel. So China spend multiple Decades researching the technology until they can build similar drones like That and now surpasses US. Chinese Wu14 surveillance Drone flys at mach 8 - 10.
Are you referring to the D-21 drones from project tagboard?
We can't even develop a hypersonic missile. What makes you think we'll be able to make a hypersonic aircraft?
Many missiles are hypersonic. The PGM-11 Redstone first flew in 1952. It could take a large nuclear warhead to Mach 6 and Allan Shepard to Mach 7.
who is "we"?
Out dated information. SR-72 is out and it can break mach 5
I think your about 60 years too late for that claim.
YES USA!😍😍😍😍😍😍
Once it’s a man aircraft, then tell me something about it
Not the first That happened many years ago
And where are you going to get the titanium to build such an aircraft? The US doesn't make it but Russia does and oh yes, we just put another sanction package on Russia.
"Where are you going to get the titanium"?... "Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO) operates in Madagascar, South Africa, Australia, and Canada. Being one of the largest mining companies in the world, with a market cap of $116 billion, Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO) is at the forefront of titanium mining and refining. Allegheny Technologies Inc (NYSE:ATI) is another mining giant that produces titanium and titanium alloys. Allegheny Technologies Inc (NYSE:ATI) operates worldwide with locations in the US, Europe, and Asia, with 57 locations and 17 countries. Allegheny Technologies Inc (NYSE:ATI) is known for producing high-strength and commercially produced titanium that's used in the aerospace and architecture sectors."
@@billyryalls7851 Most of that titanium is used as titanium dioxide, an opacifier in paint production the metal itself is hard to manufacture and work. The Chinese, Japanese and Russians are the main producers of the metal, the Americans use these sources but are not in the top 10 titanium metal manufacturers. The Russians have even made submarines out of it, their Alpha class subs, that is why they can outperform any other submarine in the world. As long as America can buy in its titanium metal, no problem but if these sources dry up?
At this point this type of technology is unnecessary in my opinion. For military use this would boil down to being used as a missile or for missile deployment and there's really no need for that given our far-reach around the globe with the countless types of missiles we already have. And then secondly, it could be used for high altitude reconnaissance, something which we already have well covered now with satellites. Both of these are also reasons why the SR-71 no longer flies. Sure, companies like this, along with Darpa are working on these projects, but I see them as "fluff tech" to keep justifying the huge budgets of taxpayer money used each year which in turn employ thousands of people in the big aerospace companies. Isn't this what Eisenhower warned us about with the military industrial complex??? I think it's something like .40 cent of every tax dollar now.
And aside from making a much larger space station and moon base, what else do they have to do? Nothing really except for bragging rights of "who can go faster". Yes, we've learned a lot along the way, but I just don't see these things having any tangible consistent use that's going to justify their costs. And I'd fair to guess I could count on two hands the amount of executives that need to be in London or Hong Kong each week in under 3 hours. We have this modern thing now call the internet and Zoom meetings. And Zoom is FREE. As it turns out, electrons already won the speed race.
Bombers have a couple of advantages over missiles:
1. It's easier to project power with them and even bluff with them. Once you fire missiles (especially ballistic missiles), they can't be recalled. Bombers are a great way to "show the flag" in a crisis but then stand down once the crisis is resolved. It's the same reason the U.S. still has a big fleet of aircraft carriers: Power projection.
2. Bombers are more flexible when it comes to attacking mobile targets. If you want to attack mobile ICBM launchers before they can launch their ICBMs, ballistic missiles have fixed trajectories and can't really attack such moving targets. But bombers can chase them wherever they go.
One more thing: When Eisenhower spoke of "military industrial complex," the U.S. was spending over 12% of its GDP on national defense, and half of U.S. scientists and engineers were working on military projects. Today it's maybe 3% of U.S. GDP and many software engineers build video games and movie SFX.
How low would U.S. military spending have to go before we could finally bury this "military-industrial complex" paranoia? All the way to zero?
@@stevenlitvintchouk3131 Ok, those are some very good points. However, I also urge you to look into the turning radius of a "bomber" that's doing Mach 4 or greater because with the SR-71 for example, to just do a 180-degree turn was about the size of Colorado. So I don't see much chasing going on, much less them actually being able to somehow chase and catch an ICBM if launched. I see those sort of things being thwarted by other missile defense systems whether launched from aircraft like B-52's or others, or from ground or sea-based platforms. I guess I'd have to see some demonstrated simulations to better understand how applicable they could be.
As for military spending, take notice how conservatives used to.. keyword used to.. champion less taxes and smaller government, yet DOD spending, the largest tax expense, is always the elephant in the room that no one ever speaks about. And don't get me wrong, I love the military and served. I just find a lot of irony in how many people want to do away with a lot of things that help common people in very tangible ways that matter to all our lives on a daily basis, like affordable basic healthcare and education, both of which could be near free at this point, especially a national online university.
This is all neglected while either purposefully ignoring or unconsciously looking the other way when it comes to the great expenses for our war machines at large to fight what are largely 3rd world countries on the other side of the globe. And I mean if anyone is going to tout being "fiscally conservative".. then why not actually be that. Hence my original point. Instead of really taking care of the country and its people, we waste more and more money on the latest war toys. Just my 2 cents.
Lasers will make all this a moot point.
@@robertezell1916 Exactly that, and rail guns.. both things now in deployment.
All this and much more has already been accomplished long ago. This current public disclosing is just another way to keep the funds flowing and new engineers trained 😆
It means that the technology is now becoming officialy available. Europe is 50 years behind, but still more advanced than most of the rest of the world.
Previous efforts have demonstrated different aspects of hypersonic flight. This is the first attempt to make it not only practical for the military, but affordable and reliable enough for civilian applications.
This is an American project. Why is it being told by someone from England? I couldn’t stand listening to that British accent more than about 1 minute. I doubt that British people would be very happy listening to an American describe the latest British jet.

👍👌
To do what ?
I lost interest after the first commercial. This is junk to keep us unaware of what is really happening.
Great
These are very interesting comments but in light of quantum-based AGI/ASI which will likely be in use before 2030, I should think hypersonic craft (whether military or commercial) carrying humans will seem quaint. Indeed, even our supposed alien visitors and craft (their reported hierarchy of species and skill-sets) also seem to have stagnated in a most disappointing way. Why aren't our hometown aliens already harvesting the energy of suns with Dyson Spheres? Or galaxies with whatever comes next? How could super intelligence be so lacking in imagination or ambition? It's an oxymoron. Would our gods really so disappoint us? Let us hope not. What a sad and pathetic end for God if when we meet the Ultimate we say, Really, God? Is that all you got?
Fake
Very limited use case will only interest China and North Korea, but Both will buy only one each and reverse engineer them.
More BS
