just saw on history that the x-43 went mach 7 thats over 5000 mph and it uses a scram jet engine with no moving parts NASA says it can go at least mach 10 WOW

yes fantastic mak 7 but this type of NASA experimental airplane are not agile in evasive maneuvers and attack is good only for sign a new speed record.
THE future of modern airplane is very special is a mix for a simulation and real fly.
Yes the AIRPLANE of future not have a human pilots but have remote control wirles and have
extreme performance is not tolerable by a human being.

evasive manoeuvres at Mach 7? LOL!

The point of the Scramjet is to develop new engines for future travel... Mach 7 in a passenger capable plane would be pretty revolutionary. You could be somewhere in minutes as opposed to hours.

Just so long as it doesn't involve too many Immelmanns or split-esses. LOL.

Developed from secret Nazi UFO technology of course :D

Guys, they couldn't make the Mach 2 Concord commercially viable.
As for evasive maneuvers - yes they may be somewhat relevant considering that what is trying to shoot you down will either be going at similar speed or be trying to fly in front of you (think of Mach 1, guided barrage balloons).
The future is subsonic.

Passenger travel would be a very, very long way down the road. Primarily this technology is being developed for getting payloads into space in a far cheaper way than today with huge rockets.

Times change.
They couldn't make the space shuttle commercially viable either, in 2011 you can travel to space for 250k - and probably for less than half of it in 10yrs.
The hypersonic airliners will be reality, it just takes another 20years or so.
As for evasive maneuvers - yes they may be somewhat relevant considering that what is trying to shoot you down will either be going at similar speed or be trying to fly in front of you (think of Mach 1, guided barrage balloons).
It has to catch up first. :cool:
