Hypersonic speed

In aerodynamics, a hypersonic speed is one that exceeds five times the speed of sound, often stated as starting at speeds of Mach 5 and above.

The precise Mach number at which a craft can be said to be flying at hypersonic speed varies, since individual physical changes in the airflow (like molecular dissociation and ionization) occur at different speeds; these effects collectively become important around Mach 5-10. The hypersonic regime can also be alternatively defined as speeds where specific heat capacity changes with the temperature of the flow as kinetic energy of the moving object is converted into heat.

Examples of use of hypersonic

3. But the panel added that technology development of longer–term delivery options, such as hypersonic cruise missiles, though technically risky "could provide some advantages" to sub–launched missiles.
4. They are hypersonic and capable of changing their flight path." Putin said the new missiles were capable of carrying nuclear warheads.
5. A top secret, hypersonic, cold war spy plane that was allegedly flown by the Americans in UK airspace without the government‘s permission.
