It can exceed the speed of sound, hitting an astonishing Mach 2.1! 😲🤯


A new combat drone has been created that can hit speeds of more than 1500mph.

The drone is much bigger than the ones you’ll have seen floating around your local parks, however, and looks more like a small spaceship.

Created by Kelley Aerospace, the supersonic drone is made up of carbon fibre and is completely unmanned; it can exceed the speed of sound, hitting an astonishing Mach 2.

The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded SpaceX an $8.5 million contract to investigate manufacturing techniques for heat shields that protect hypersonic vehicles in flight.


WASHINGTON — The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded SpaceX an $8.5 million contract to investigate advanced materials and manufacturing techniques for heat shields that protect hypersonic vehicles in flight.

Heat protection is a critical technology to shield hypersonic vehicles from the intense heat experienced when flying at more than five times the speed of sound.

A lot of info here on the various types of Starship.


SpaceX Starship Hybrid version. This hybrid Starship concept is an unofficial Starship concept created by us and inspired different things. This design is not endorsed or supported by SpaceX or Elon Musk. So it is purely an idea.
