Elon Musk REVEALED Insane NEW Hypersonic Aircraft Better Then US Fighter Jets!

Elon Musk's companies, notably SpaceX, have forged significant ties with the U.S. military in recent years. SpaceX's innovative technologies have positioned it as a key player in launching military and national security payloads into space. Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled journey into the future of aerospace innovation as Elon Musk unveils an extraordinary hypersonic aircraft that promises to outperform even the most advanced U.S. fighter jets! How could this groundbreaking technology redefine the boundaries of speed and capability in aviation? Can Musk's creation truly surpass the prowess of current military aircraft? Let's dive in and find out!

Before we start, let’s first clear the bases. What is Hypersonic Speed?
Hypersonic speed, five times faster than the speed of sound, is measured using a Mach number, named after physicist Ernst Mach. Anything Mach 5 or above is considered hypersonic, roughly equivalent to 3,800 miles per hour.

On November 16, 2004, NASA's experimental space plane, the X-43A, achieved a groundbreaking milestone by establishing a new speed record for jet-powered aircraft. During an uncrewed test flight, the plane soared to Mach 10, an astonishing ten times the speed of sound, equating to approximately 6,600 miles (10,600 kilometers) per hour. This remarkable accomplishment surpassed its own previous record of Mach 7, which had been set in March 2004 during an earlier test flight. Unlike rocket-powered aircraft, the X-43A's scramjet engine scoops up oxygen from the atmosphere, reducing the need for onboard oxygen and cutting down the spacecraft's weight. This innovation holds the potential for more cost-effective Earth-to-orbit space travel.
