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

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.
