Interesting Engineering is a cutting edge, leading community designed for all lovers of engineering, technology and science.
The newly developed material resisted temperatures up to 7,343 degrees Fahrenheit without melting or losing shape during tests when applied to encase the surface of a waverider aircraft.
The development means that the Asian powerhouse has surpassed far ahead of the United States in the hypersonic race, according to a report byAdvancement of the new thermal tech could aid in the creation of reusable hypersonic vehicles with “longer range and faster speed, and constantly break through the boundary of flying,” stated the team lead, Ai Bangcheng, deputy director of the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics in Beijing.
China's heavy investment in hypersonic tech also helped make significant progress, considering that the People's Liberation Army executed more hypersonic test flights in 2021 than the US did in the last 10 years. Meanwhile, the main hurdle that US hypersonic makers face is thermal damage, as per a study by the US Congressional Budget Office to lawmakers in January.
The country's military possesses a huge arsenal of hypersonic weapons, some of which are meant to strike long-distance moving targets like an aircraft carrier – with higher precision and maneuverability.
