    Hypersonic breakthrough could enable planes that fly 10 times the speed of sound
    A breakthrough in understanding hypersonic turbulence may open the door to one-hour global flights.

    Summary:
    Hypersonic flight could one day make long-haul travel as quick as a short movie.
    Researchers are testing how turbulence behaves at extreme speeds, a critical hurdle for designing these aircraft.
    Their laser-based krypton experiments suggest turbulence at Mach 6 behaves more like slower airflow than expected.
    The results could simplify hypersonic vehicle design and accelerate progress toward ultra-fast travel.

    So, planes into space :-)

    There are some PNN guys in Italy who have a flying submarine!

    The Stevens people should get with them, and together they can
    build a hypersonic flying submarine. How cool would that be?

    gotta corner the market on yellow paint...
