- This 1-minute, 41-second movie shows NASA's X-43A demonstrating supersonic-combustion ramjet (scramjet) propulsion during two of its record-setting flights in 2004.
Both flights, the first on Mar. 27 and the second on Nov. 16, 2004, demonstrated sustained thrust from the X-43A's air-breathing scramjet engine, the first at nearly 5,000 mph, the second at nearly 7,000 mph, or almost 10 times the speed of sound.

I just spent 30 minutes searching for this i remember watching this when this was still a hush hush project.
It took me less than a minute
Me too@@hectorhernandez8730
This was 20 years ago. Imagine what we can do now.
not much is known
Fully automated military stealth drone versions of this.
YES the thing actually works!!
Imagine a 747 going Mach 15 😂
Ha. Impossible but we can imagine.
There are plane crashes in which the plane reaches supersonic in a dive and can’t recover because the plane starts to disintegrate at those speeds.
Imagine rich folks using the X59 as a getting car to reach their secret underground bunkers. 😅
Only in Microsoft fsx steam edition
job well done
can't wait for the SR-72
SR72 and XR75 aren’t actual aircraft and won’t be. It’s too unrealistic.
@@mikethebigman So are you telling me we won't have hypersonic UAV's that dont get vaporized as soon as they get to mach 5+ for the rest of eternity? That is sure a funny hypothesis.
@@4bloxstuff I mean it could be possible, but the exact design of those probably won’t work.
@@mikethebigman we just need a light enough ablative material for an aircraft that fast and a high effiency cheap scramjet and we're good to go, also, godlike airbrakes.
@@mikethebigmanUSAF has literally said the sr-72 is in development
X-48A is awesome 🇺🇸👑💕
X-43* but I know what you mean
The public always gets stuff 20 years after the fact.
That lasted 2 seconds
Music?
🤘🤠
This shit from the 90's so what kind of tech do we have now?
The tested another scram jet a while ago that looked a little different and i think may have gone faster
its from the early 2000's and I'm guessing things have advanced a ton.
Dowdly Trump issued and senate approved the largest budget for NASA in over 20 years recently.
Dowdly NASA might not recieve the funding but research is still being conducted it has just shifted to other entities. X37 for example, the us is still getting into space and testing high speed craft. The space game is the new frontier, we are definitely getting out there. It’s been long enough those videos are declassified, 25 years from now we might get to see what they are doing today.
SR-72 take off by itself and land back on a standard runway, and it fire for a lot longer than 10 seconds.
XRISM
I don’t get it? They do know that was a 3D model when says fuel on?
I was just thinking that. Was the little rocket that fell from the plane suppose to attach to something else? Wtf did we just see lmao?
Terrible video
Fake like their Winter Olympics
@@vaxiwaxiwaxi5824 was just a test, they dont want anything going at mach 10 without being able to control it
In theory mach 15 can be accomplished
Current design limitations have restricted speed to half that amount.
@@qarmatianwarhorse6028 always remember that "impossible" is simply another way of saying "I'm possible" and what you see is what you've been allowed to see, not what's currently on the black book project list
@@aleccap5946 Dude, in this case it's no secret - USA is limping when it comes to hypersonics. Their tests had been constant failures since 2013 and only 2 days ago did they achieve a breakthrough.
Contrast that with North Korea which completed it's work in 4-5 years. American research and technological development is beginning to wane at long last and they aren't sure what's next.
The benefits of Operation Paperclip have run their course.
@@qarmatianwarhorse6028 I am not an expert by any means, but the USA essentially invented the technologies, which is why it took so long to develop. They have "failures" now because they are already at the bleeding edge of where it can go. In contrast, North Korea only took five years to get where they are because they were able to use everyone else's research of the last 70 years.
@@trekkeruss Not by a long shot. I read sometime back where an article was referenced that the americans were simply unable to reconcile the physics of hypersonic systems to make it functional. Otherwise there would be an american Avangarde variant in service by now.
Make no mistake, they're struggling with mating HGVs to missiles and of getting their scramjets to deliver the payload with efficiency. Meanwhile, a bunch of others have already mastered the glide vehicle and are now moving to the ramjet/scramjet system.
sure doesnt sound to me like a practical design to achieve common reconnaissance, payload delivery, or accurate ordinance deployment. so whats the purpose of funding this?
Baka pati to hamunin ng mga naka Suzuki Raider.
Am I the only one that noticed
they
~CUT~ to the 1:40 MARK ..?.. 🤦♀️
WHAT A SHAM
Now do a low fly by
Physically impossible due to air resistance
@@Jerry-cg9niaww, Damn shame. Would Still be insane tho.
I mean its possible, just not at mach 9@@vinstual9830
@@Jerry-cg9ni noo, no, deffinetily not mach 9. Maybe 4 at best for my guess but that alone must feel amazing when it passes by.
Jai hind
The X-43A use a rocket to powers it to mach 6 speed and a air breathing scram jet to maintain the speed..The housing last less than two minutes before disintergration..Typed Wang Zhengou and Shou En-Zhu to find more information on China s turbo-scram jet engine.
Except Chinas State TV constantly makes false reports and embellished weapons tech. They have been caught Photoshoping US weapons systems claiming its their new prototype. You do know China has stolen most of their weapons from the US right?
cope
5,000 years of copying and theft 🫢
Taiwan number 1, China number 4
why all the secrete films? strange..
ripcurl010 wouldnt say secret. More like nasa couldnt be fucked to upload it
They were public, just hard to find, NASA has uploaded them to youtube to have easier access, they used to be found in the "Dryden Aircraft Movie Collection"
None of these plane have survived test flights? Big boys and their toys' all with tax dollars. To say nothing of the projects carbon footprint. Signed: a concerned disabled veteran'.
aliens?
Where's the real moon landing video?
Hi. Install Skype, Mumble, Teamspeak, Jitsi, Ventrilo, or Discord so I can "interview" you (if you can call it that). You'd better pack a lunch, PSYCHO.
nirvgorilla can you interview me please?
Murerte, are you a psycho who denies facts such as the moon landings, curvature of the earth, or evolution being a fact? I have no interest in talking to people who understand reality and are mentally stable. I want to talk to the PSYCHOS but they never want to talk.
Just give me VoIP info.
Okay so what did we really see here? The piece detached successfully. Still of course relying on a large aircraft to take it to such Flight. However lets look at the source of its propulsion. Jet fuel? More combustion for more thrusting? Not very innovative.
Maybe they could start practicing really science by manipulating density in different volumetric masses. Well we can't hope for miracles.
Look up scramjets. I think the idea isn't so much trying to get it go fast for the sake of going fast, but trying to get it to go hypersonic by reducing mechanical reliability issues associated with traditional jet engines and compressors. Since the engines itself has no moving parts, the compression for the combustion chamber is providing by the shape of the air intake and only needs to be ignited once its up to speed...which is above like 3000mph.
X-43 ran on hydrogen.
