DENVER — The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Vulcan Mach 4 engine program has passed its first phase interim design review amid signs that the initiative is generating increased levels of interest among the government, military and U.S. propulsion industry.
DENVER — Delays in improvements to the Woomera test range in Australia as well as budget cutbacks have forced organizers of the U.S.-Australian hypersonic HiFire program to shift some flights to U.S. launch sites and cut back the expected number of tests.
DENVER — First flight of the X-51A scramjet demonstrator is now on track for early December while captive carriage tests on the NASA-operated B-52H mothership at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., are set to begin in October. A joint effort by the U.S. Air Force, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, and Boeing, the hypersonic vehicle is designed to be the first air-breathing craft to demonstrate sustained speeds in excess of Mach 4 using a “logistically friendly” hydrocarbon fuel.
