Scientists of the Novosibirsk Institute are developing a hypersonic aerospace plane. To date, a model aircraft, which is being tested in a wind tunnel, According to the channel Vesti Novosibirsk.
During the experiment, scientists fed into the air flow pipe, which moves with a velocity 1,5 kilometers per second.
As noted by the researcher of the Institute Tatiana Kiseleva, model spacecraft is already possible to hold in your hand - it is flat, with rounded wings. This is necessary for the development of hypersonic speed and order, to withstand extreme temperatures.
The device has a special blunt and rather thick edge.
According to Director of the Institute of Alexander Shiplyuk, edge made so thick, because very hot during flight in the atmosphere at speeds, close to Space. temperature reaches 2 thousand. degrees, it is very much, director added.
scientists explained, that today the main thing - to understand, which materials can withstand such a temperature, keeping the skin of the aircraft. They are sure, missiles that change in the foreseeable future will come airplanes, who are able to rise to a height of more 100 km above the Earth's surface, and rising, be able to return with a cargo and passengers on board.
