This rare footage shows NASA testing the X-43A, an experimental hypersonic aircraft built to explore extreme-speed flight. Because scramjet engines cannot start from rest, the vehicle was carried under a B-52, boosted to hypersonic speed by a rocket, and only then ignited its own engine. | SpaceEve

Science Tech on Instagram: "This rare footage captures NASA testing the X-43A, an experimental hypersonic aircraft designed to explore flight at extreme speeds. Because a scramjet cannot operate from a standstill, the X-43A first had to be pushed to hypersonic velocity by force. It was carried aloft under a B-52, then released and accelerated by a Pegasus rocket, which fired and drove the vehicle to several thousand miles per hour. Only after the booster burned out and separated did the X-43A ig

Galaxies on Instagram: "The X-43A was a tiny unmanned test aircraft designed by NASA to do one thing: go absurdly fast. It was part of the Hyper-X program, built to prove that a scramjet could work in real flight rather than just in a wind tunnel. To get it into the thin upper atmosphere, the X-43A wasn’t launched from a runway. A B-52 carried it to altitude, then a Pegasus booster rocket fired and pushed it to several thousand miles per hour. Only after the booster fell away did the X-43A ignit

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
