The Falcon Hypersonic Technology vehicle-2 FALCON HTV-2) is the fastest plane ever built by human beings. It would fly from London to Sydney in less than an hour. Supersonic Concorde, by the way, could not fly at such a great speed. At the same time, it would withstand temperatures of almost 2,000 degrees. This temperature is hotter than the melting point of steel.
The US-Defense Agency will launch the Falcon HTV-2. First, they will set it on the back of a rocket. Then they will launch both into space from an air force base. The plan goes like this: engineers will launch the Falcon HTV-2 in the space on the back of the rocket; then they will detach the plane from the monitor in its flight. The plane would fly at a hypersonic speed of 13,000 mp/h. This speed is about twenty times of sound.
The falcon was born in 2003.
It was born as a part of a US military project. The project researched and built a special type of plane. The researchers wanted that the plane could reach any part of the world in less than an hour. They also wanted to use it for any purpose, military-civil. The plane was already tested in computer models.
The Falcon Hypersonic Vehicles-2 would be mankind’s dream aircraft in the days to come.
