A dream for
many scientists,
engineers and sci-fi
enthusiasts is of an aerospace
vehicle that can
take off from an airport,
fly through the atmosphere
and travel to the
other side of the earth
at hypersonic speeds,
and then return through
the atmosphere to the
same or another airport.
Thanks to programs
like DARPA’s Falcon
Hypersonic Technology
Vehicle 2 program
(Figure 1), the dream is
taking form.
