Quarterhorse: The Air Force is Getting a Mach 5 Monster

The hypersonic aircraft Quarterhorse,  is poised to join “the world’s fastest aircraft” at an astonishing speed of Mach 5. That’s right, five times the speed of sound.

Hermeus is the brains behind the $60-million joint project with the US Air Force, an Atlanta-based aerospace developer of hypersonic aircraft to accelerate the global transportation network.

The startup’s multimillion aircraft projects connect global cities on regional timescales, reducing flight times and increasing safety for long-haul and business-class air travel.

Riding in the cockpit of a Mach 5 jet would be pretty cool.

Just use it as a hypersonic missile. That is all it really is.   :shrug:

Awwww...  if it was safe and the G forces managed, who wouldn't want a ride like this?  It'd be like Star Wars.
