Default NASA Tests Mach-7 capable jet today
I watched it on FOX NEWS today, a B-52 release the prototype and let it fly on its own. Once the booster was released, the SCAR drive (ram induction) took over as the jet was skimming the atmosphere at 115K ft i believe. It reached mach 6.4 before the test was over....incredible!
