The afflicted are almost upon them. The air is a din of hypersonic bursts, snarls and empty shell casings. But still I hear him. As his people start to fall. As his pistol clicks empty. As he rises with only his knuckles left between him and the sheer brutality of mathematics. As the music swells above the carnage, still I hear him breathe the words. "Tell them I was thinking of them. At the end." They pile onto him. All snarls and teeth and fists. But as he falls, I am holding his hand. Easing him into his long good night. "I will tell them, David." The last words he will ever hear. 'I promise.
Amie Kaufman (Illuminae (The Illuminae Files, #1))
Astray from a deep sleep chronic as I write by phonics, like insomnia I will always live the onyx night for revealing, and, upon it, still I'll steal the bright light of day right away just to keep building at speeds hypersonic.
Criss Jami (Healology)
At supersonic and hypersonic speeds, a shockwave forms around the steak that helps protect it from the faster and faster winds. The exact characteristics of this shock front—and thus the mechanical stress on the steak—depend on how an uncooked 8-ounce filet tumbles at hypersonic speeds. I searched the literature, but was unable to find any research on this.
Randall Munroe (What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions)
Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and other related characteristics: super-computing, eventually quantum-computing, and nano and bio technologies; advanced big-data analytics; and other emerging technologies are beginning to offer an entirely new way of war, and at command speeds hitherto unimaginable. The revolution in sensor and command and control technologies is matched and enabled by developments in long-range, hypersonic “intelligent” weaponry and new swarms of killing machines allied to a range of directed-energy weapons. Such a potentially revolutionary change in the character and conduct of war must necessarily impose entirely new ways of defense.
David H. Petraeus (Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine)
You mean the Blackbird, right? Those never hit Hypersonic speeds.” “No, they didn’t, but this one has some advantages over the originals,” Dan said, “including a new engine design we pulled from the X-39 project.” “There’s an X-39?” “Not anymore,” Isaacs said bluntly. “They’re missing their engines.
Evan Currie (Semper Fi (Superhuman, #3))
Against the velvet of the night sky, the boom operator seated in the tail of the U.S Air Force Lockheed Tristar K. Mk.1 tanker could not to see the Blackbird as it slowly approached. The recon aircraft’s matt fuselage and wings merged with the dark sky, the still secret matt black titanium, and carbon-fibre skin of the hypersonic SR71 designed to absorb most light and all radar waves. However, the hypersonic spy plane’s proximity radarscope clearly revealed the tanker.

ballistic missile.” Eventually, the Nazis’ research efforts would culminate in the creation of the Vergeltungswaffe (in English, “Vengeance weapon”) or “V-2 Rocket.” The V-2 was a liquid alcohol and oxygen-fueled, long-range ballistic rocket equipped with a guidance system. It was also the first rocket to enter space, as evidenced by a Nazi test in 1944.[414] At 47 feet long and a weight of 28,000-29,000 pounds (12,701 kg-13,154 kg), the V-2 carried 1,600 pounds (725 kg) of high explosives and could travel 200 miles (320 km) at a peak altitude of 50 miles (80 km).[415]
