X-43C aircraft
X-43C aircraft. Computer artwork of NASAs X-43C or Hypersonic Experimental Vehicle (Hyper-X) in flight. The Hyper-X programme was started in 1996 to test the scramjet-powered jet engine and to design a plane that could be used at hypersonic speeds. The scramjet engines, unlike rockets that must carry both oxygen and fuel, use oxygen from the air scooped up as the aircraft flies at over 5 times the speed of sound (Mach 5). The X-43A craft broke up on its test flight in 2001, which has now been attributed to modelling inaccuracies during the design stage. The X-43C is in development and could go into service in 2008 as a reusable launch vehicle for spacecraft.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the X-43C aircraft, a groundbreaking creation by NASA's Hyper-X program. In this computer artwork, we witness the magnificent flight of the X-43C or Hypersonic Experimental Vehicle (Hyper-X), designed to operate at mind-boggling hypersonic speeds. The Hyper-X program was initiated in 1996 with two primary objectives: testing scramjet-powered jet engines and developing an aircraft capable of achieving hypersonic velocities. Unlike traditional rockets that carry both oxygen and fuel, the scramjet engines utilize oxygen from the air as it is scooped up during flight at over five times the speed of sound (Mach 5). This innovative technology opens new possibilities for space exploration and transportation. While its predecessor, the X-43A craft unfortunately broke apart during a test flight in 2001 due to modeling inaccuracies during design, this setback led to valuable lessons learned for further development. The X-43C is currently under construction and anticipated to be operational by 2008 as a reusable launch vehicle for spacecraft. This awe-inspiring illustration not only depicts cutting-edge research but also represents humanity's relentless pursuit of innovation in aerospace engineering. With its sleek design and advanced propulsion system, the X-43C promises to revolutionize future space flights while pushing boundaries previously thought impossible. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this artist impression, showcasing NASA's commitment to advancing aeronautics through experimental concepts like unpiloted supersonic combustion ramjets – truly embodying America's pioneering spirit in aviation technology.
