It's the 20th anniversary of the X-43A record speed flight! ⭐ NASA’s X-43A experimental aircraft set the world speed record for a jet-powered aircraft 20 years ago on Nov. 16, 2004. The flight originated from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. The B-52B carried a Pegasus rocket under its wing, and the X-43A was attached to the rocket’s nose. Once in position over the Pacific Ocean, the rocket air-launched and its engine fired, and once in position, the X-43A’s engine

NASA took a major step toward redefining high-speed flight on Nov. 16, 2004. The X-43A, a small, experimental aircraft, proved that an engine drawing oxygen from the atmosphere could propel an aircraft to hypersonic speeds – greater than Mach 5, or five times the speed of sound. During the flight over the Pacific Ocean west of California, the X-43A set the world speed record for a jet-powered aircraft, reaching Mach 9.6, or nearly 7,000 mph. The mission originated from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Re

The X-43A was a small, unmanned test aircraft built by NASA with one goal: to achieve incredible speed. Part of the Hyper-X program, it aimed to prove that a scramjet could operate in real flight, not just inside a wind tunnel. Rather than launching from a runway, the X-43A was carried to high altitude by a B-52, then boosted by a Pegasus rocket to several thousand miles per hour. Only after the booster separated did its scramjet engine ignite. Unlike conventional rockets, the scramjet didn’t ca

Tivraverse on Instagram: "The X-43A didn’t look like a plane that would break records. It was tiny, flat, almost like a black dart with a gold edge. But NASA built it for one purpose: pure speed. Part of the Hyper-X program, it was meant to prove that scramjets weren’t just wind-tunnel dreams they could actually work in the real sky. Since it couldn’t take off on its own, a B-52 carried it up, a Pegasus rocket kicked it to insane speeds, and only then did the X-43A fire its scramjet. No onboard

ORMOUS 🌒 on Instagram: "This rare footage shows NASA testing the X-43A, an experimental uncrewed hypersonic research aircraft developed under the Hyper-X program. Because a scramjet engine cannot produce thrust at low speeds, the X-43A could not take off on its own. Instead, it was carried aloft beneath a B-52B Stratofortress, then released and accelerated by a Pegasus rocket booster. The booster propelled the vehicle to hypersonic speed—over Mach 5—before separating. Only after separation did
