The slow development of hypersonic weapons by the U.S., combined with the efforts of Russia and China, is creating "battlefield asymmetry," Axios reported on Oct. 9, citing an Atlantic Council study.

Shanghai to New York in just a couple of hours? Not a problem when you fly in a hypersonic space plane. Beijing-based Space Transportation (aka Lingkong Tianxing in China) aims to make this prospect a ...

MADRID—The European industry consortium behind the European Hypersonic Defense (EU HYDEF) endoatmospheric interceptor project has revealed its concept for the first time. Work is still underway on the ...

It’s one thing to build a hypersonic missile that will fly more than five times the speed of sound. Making it fly exactly where and when you want is perhaps a bigger challenge. Now, University of ...
