As a validation of the method, based on the density dataset of wakes obtained using the computational fluid dynamics method, the two-dimensional (2D) reconstruction of plasma wakes under different ...

Theater-range hypersonic weapons, which are designed for shorter distances and lower speeds, will likely not create a plasma sheath but will still encounter heating challenges. Furthermore ...

An anisotropic power spectrum of the refractive-index fluctuation in hypersonic turbulence was obtained by processing the experimental image of the hypersonic plasma sheath and transforming the ...

"We were very surprised to see that the same tiny plasma jets appear to be driving both the fast and the slow solar wind." ...

February 13 2025, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced its secretive Aerospace Projects Office (APO) is developing a large hypersonic bomber prototype as part of the Next ...

According to the report, the new submarine is capable of carrying advanced hypersonic missiles, allowing for covert strikes beyond enemy defenses and the option to deploy nuclear warheads if needed.

UDRI performs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling of hypersonic flows in order to better guide the design process. CFD allows iteration and flexibility within a given design space, thus ...

Southern Launch, which operates the site, confirmed Varda’s W-2 spacecraft touched down using a parachute at 1:02 am local ...

However, in terms of technological advancements, China has emerged as a formidable contender. Following their success in developing hypersonic missiles, China has now set its sights on creating a ...
