Da bambino, prima dell'astronomo, poi della rock star, e infine dell'imperatore della galassia (la fase attuale), volevo fare il pilota. Da allora seguo abbastanza l'industria aeronautica.
La notizia che uno Scramjet ha superato i Mach 10 mi riempie di futuristica gioia.
"Australian and US scientists successfully launched a supersonic scramjet engine at an Outback test range Friday, as they work on a device that could revolutionise air travel.
The researchers said a rocket carrying the scramjet reached speeds of mach 10 -- ten times the speed of sound -- after blasting off at the Woomera range in South Australia Friday.
They said it reached an altitude of 530 kilometres (330 miles) before the scramjet was successfully deployed following re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere."
