X-43 Discussion Set For Theater In The Woods
By definition, any discussion about launching the next century
of flight has to include NASA. At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2004
Wednesday (July 28), Theater in the Woods hosts a special NASA
evening presentation that will highlight several of the agency's
projects, most notably the X-43 Hyper X aircraft and its successful
Mach 7 mission over the Pacific Ocean on March 27 this year. The
X-43 was the first airborne test of a supersonic combustion ramjet
engine (scramjet) and is scheduled to attempt a Mach 10 flight in
the fall.
