Breakthroughs in Science: Hypersonic travel

Aerospace engineers at the University of Central Florida are drawing global attention for their successful experiments in hypersonic propulsion. Their work would lead to safe and stabile hypersonic air travel in the future-- that could fly passengers from Tampa to Los Angeles in a matter of minutes.
FOX 13 Tampa Bay brings you the important videos like breaking news, Tampa Bay weather, and local stories. But also plenty of fun stuff, like 'We Live Here' tips, the best of our archives, and all those 'only-in-Florida' stories.

Eh? These hypersonic speeds are around 14,000 MPH (22,500 KPH). Speed of light is closer to 600,000,000 MPH (900,000,000 KPH). For context, a space shuttle travels around 17,500 MPH while in orbit and they crap their pants when they hit the atmosphere out of fear. It'll take another 50 years just to solve how to fly a jet at these speeds within the atmosphere without having to constantly maintain or replace the hull's materials.

[@WhiteWolfos]

It's been kind of known but not really applied for a long time. Even in some videogames you get the space ships designs with multi rings. The study of a whale fin for example curves and it is becoming more efficient with that design that if applied to planes the fins could save a lot of gas. Studies of gas and liquids have been made for awhile the key is getting a greenlight and stabilizing it. If they can't sustain or stabilize it yet they will be racing against other engineers.

@@benmaynard3059 I don't there will ever be a hypersonic airlines for the public to take, but hypersonic fighter jets seems much more likely. The Russia MIG-41 jet fighter is supposed to be able to fly at MACH 3, so maybe in another 20 years they will have a MACH 5 fighter. I still wonder how they control a hypersonic missile like the Kinzhal or the Zircon through the plasma cloud ?

"If fire can happen faster then we can get places faster" is one of the funniest engineering phrases ever 🤣😂 Don't take this the wrong way, and I mean don't take this the wrong way because she's definitely a real one.

@Sean-Greenit’s not cringe lol. It’s a real explanation. Honestly, once you arrive at that level you realize all the terminology is BS and you can see past it, and like Einstein said, if you truly know something you can explain it to your grandma.

[@specialiseesi6746]

LOL EXACTLY what I thought and was going to comment!! It really makes no sense to us... they´re so funny...

[@defeatSpace]

@Sean-Green One fundamental concept of engineering involves -developing hierarchical n−dimensional matrices for- organizing constituent functions of complex systems. So, explaining the functions beneath "fire happen faster, get places faster" during what is meant to be a brief news-segment showcasing an interesting school project, would confuse 99.9˜⃨9% of viewers and still wouldn't be a real explanation. The people who can handle a real explanation perform their own additional research after viewing. Though, television can be inspiring, what's cringe is expecting to learn STEM from television alone.

[@mycroft16]

​@Sean-Greenif you can't explain your doctorate level understanding of your field to a 10 year old, you don't really understand it. And that explanation is extremely good. Just as the teacher used the example of a candle vs a detonation to describe commercial jet engines vs what they developed. A shocking amount of the public needs this level of simplification. Especially in a 3 minute news segment. Or they could delve into the high speed fluid dynamics of self reinforcing shockwaves in a rotational inertial frame and the cavity shapes that remove turbulent flow which would interrupt that phase alignment or introduce instability in propagation speeds leading to degrading efficiency and potentially catastrophic flameout.

[@mingzhu8093]

Faster intercontinental travel was never about lack of technology but about cost. Concorde was available in the 70s which takes 3 hours to go from New York to Paris, but it was not profit optimized for airlines.
