Why armies need to invest in hypersonic weapons

Hypersonic weapons are revolutionising conventional warfare. Discover their strategic and military impact through a detailed technical analysis. Hypersonic weapons are missiles capable of flying at more than Mach 5 (approximately 6,174 km/h), or five times the speed of sound. These technologies offer significant advantages in modern warfare, in particular because of their […]

Understanding Mach Speed

The Mach concept is fundamental to aeronautics, and plays an essential role in measuring aircraft speed. It quantifies the relative speed of an aircraft in relation to the speed of sound in the medium through which it travels. Knowledge of Mach speed is crucial to aircraft design, performance and safety. Aircraft speed […]
