(by Andrea Pinto) Hypersonic technology, missiles and aircraft that can travel at a speed between 5.000 and 25.000 km per hour (between 5 and 25 Mach). The thermal effects, typical of hypersonic speeds, impose on these vectors aerodynamic arrangements such as to create strong shock waves in the atmosphere on which, thanks to the upward thrust, they glide for [...]
