  • X-15 plane
    “Boost-glide,” the method of using rocket pro­pulsion to achieve high speed before an un­powered glide, is an apt metaphor for U.S. investment in hypersonics research and education. Recent interviews with government leaders and experts suggest that the U.S. no longer has the luxury of exploring hyperson­ic flight as an unchallenged...
