Mach 20 disappeared again ... US military super-speed machine Falcon HTV-2

Knot Again...

DARPA's "Falcon HTV-2 (Falcon Hypersonic Test Vehicle 2)", which flies nearly 20 times the speed of sound speed and sends bombs within one hour, has disappeared during the test flight....

Even in the first test flight last April, there was no trace of a mysterious disappearance on the Pacific Ocean....Is it somewhere in Falcon's graveyard?

In the second flight experiment conducted on the 11th of this month (US time), it was carried by Minotaur IV Light Rocket from the Kashu Vandenberg Air Force Base and flew off at 7:45 am, and after the missile was cut off, in -flight posture control systems (in -flight posture control system (Using the REACTION CONTROL SYSTEM: RCS), change the course and re -enter the atmosphere, fly to the upper atmosphere with RCS and air control while entering, and make a moderate altitude with an upward flight system, and earn a moderate altitude.I entered.

For the time being, I was planning to test the aircraft and integrity to see what would happen to the aircraft with the high fever of 3500 degrees (1927 degrees Celsius), which melts iron while flying in Mach 20 at this glide stage....。

ヴァンデンバーグ基地で見守るDARPA制御技師らの元には、再突入からマッハ20の滑空段階に入ってしばらくはシグナルが届いていたんですが...打ち上げからたった36分でテレメトリ(遠隔測定)が追跡不能となり、それきりシグナルが回復することはなかったのです...。

マッハ20でまた失踪...米軍の超音速機ファルコンHTV-2

According to DARPA, Falcon also has an automatic flight suspension function in case there is something that does not work, but it seems that they have not grasped the situation after the communication has been cut off.is.I also check the tweets of DARPA's live broadcast every day, but since then I haven't updated anything....。

The Falcon HTV-2 has been cut off in the first test flight in April 2010 in 9 minutes from the launch, and the U.S. Air Force said, "The U.S. Air Force detected the flight abnormalities, the in-flight safety system operates and controlled the course.I crashed into the sea. "

This time, the Air Force also announced that the Air Force crashed in the Pacific Ocean under the scheduled route. "The HTV-2 project led by a Doctor of Aerospace Engineering, CHRIS SCHULZ Air Force, said," launched the aircraft near outer space and fly in the atmosphere.I know how to enter, but I don't know how to secure the control I want during the aerodynamic flight stage.It's troublesome, but there must be a solution.I have to find it. "...No...What happened?...

After all it is his work.
