In a scenario where a missile would have to travel a distance of 1,000 kilometers to reach its target, a subsonic system (at 800 km / h) would need 75 min, whereas
a supersonic system (Mach 2.8) would need 17 min and 38 seconds and a hypersonic one (flying at mach 6) just 9 min and 30 seconds.

There are still plenty of ways for it to fail once it gets off the ground — the structure could be torn apart by
supersonic shockwaves or the side boosters may not separate, since that
system has never been tested, for example — but at that point, SpaceX could probably launch another Falcon Heavy within a few months.
Meanwhile, in his spare time, Musk draws up plans for revolutionary transport
systems, such as the Hyperloop and VTOL

To reach hypersonic speeds, current
systems will need to be replaced by what engineers call «air - breathing»
systems, which could be achieved by scramjets (also called «
supersonic - combustion ramjets»).
The interest in the development of
supersonic and hypersonic
systems of propulsion is clearly justified by their outstanding operational capacities, which are far greater than existing
systems.
Four other countries in Asia are known to be developing civilian or military programs for
supersonic and hypersonic

Although the CHARLES solver was developed to tackle problems like high - fidelity jet engine simulation and
supersonic jet noise prediction, it had never been applied to predict combustion dynamics in a configuration as complex as a GE gas turbine combustion
system.
Clinton called for increased research on
supersonic flight, noise reduction, weather prediction, and navigation and control

Your body doesn't so much «switch» to anaerobic but instead turns on the anaerobic
system, in the same sense that fighter jet pilots don't «switch» to the afterburners to go
supersonic but rather use them in addition to current engine power.
