The U.S. Air Force will soon be retesting its X-51A WaveRider, an unmanned, supersonic ramjet-powered demonstrator that is intended to eventually deliver warheads and provide reconnaissance to virtually anywhere on the planet within 30 minutes. The shark-nosed, nearly wingless craft is designed to be launched from underneath a B-52 bomber and ride on its own shockwave. During the first flight in 2010, the craft accelerated to approximately Mach 5 (nearly 3,400 mph). A second X-51A vehicle will be tested in the spring of 2011 and may reach speeds up to Mach 6. The WaveRider will be released at approximately 50,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean in the Point Mugu Naval Air Warfare Center Sea Range. The solid rocket booster will accelerate the craft for about 30 seconds to approximately Mach 4.5, before being jettisoned. Then the cruiser’s scramjet engine (which has virtually no moving parts) will ignite and begin burning ethylene, transitioning after approximately ten seconds to the same JP-7 jet fuel once used by the SR-71 Blackbird.
