Weapons at Hypersonic Speeds Source:  Russia Hypersonic Missile Test From Supersonic to Hypersonic Arms Race Russia is on a mission to bring the development of supersonic cruise missiles to the hypersonic level. Hypersonic flight starts at five times the speed of sound or one mile per second.  The news comes  from CEO Alexander Leonovo of Russian weapons manufacturer Tactical Missiles Corporation.  He's developing the Onyx supersonic anti-ship missile that can be fired from subs and frigates. The Onyx travels at 2&1/2 times the speed of sound with a 400 mile range.  Leonovo says his focus for Russian defense is to bring missile speeds to hypersonic and increase their operational range. Incredible Speeds Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited a flight test center to inspect a MIG 31 jet fighter armed with the hypersonic Kinzhai dagger missile. The missile is capable of carrying nuclear weapons.  The missile can travel at Mach 10 for 1200 miles.  It can ev

US Company Building Supersonic Jets for Mainstream Travel Source:  Boom Artist Concept Boom and the Supersonic Jet Race The supersonic jet travel race is getting hot.  There are a number of global, startups building jets that fly faster than the speed of sound or 767 mph.  Some companies are targeting 1000 mph and even 3000 mph.  Hermeus, based in Atlanta, GA, is targeting Mach 3 or 3000 mph.  That would take you from New York to London in just 90 minutes.  Another company of note is Boom. Supersonic Flights for All of Us A very interesting supersonic play comes from Boom Technology, which is Denver, CO based and has significant capital behind it.  It is focusing on building 55-seat passenger jets that fly at Mach 2 plus or 2300 mph.  It wants to start pricing seats, when it gets ready for takeoff in upcoming years, at the rate of business class fares.  Additionally, it plans to sell its supersonic jets to traditional airlines and help reduce those business class prices into

Developing New Tech for Electric Plane Engines Source:  Embraer and WEG Green Flying Brazilian electrical engineering company WEG is teaming up with Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer SA to develop new technologies for electrical propulsion systems for aircraft.  The development of electric aircraft is a key to reducing global climate change caused by jet fuel emissions and other major sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Blue Skiing into Greener Skies The first test flight for an innovative electric motor by the Brazilian team is scheduled for 2020. The team says they will use a single engine EMB 203 Ipanema plane.  Experts forecast that aircraft design will be revolutionized by radical changes in propulsion systems.  That's why the Brazilian team effort to develop an innovative electric motor for aircraft is so important.  Nations are at the ready to go electric flying. Leading the way is Norway.  It has targeted that all of its domestic flights will be on electri
