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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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.
