"Hypersonic jet WaveRider is to undergo another test flight above the Pacific Ocean aiming to reach Mach 6.
At this speed - more than 4,300mph (6,900km/h) - it could travel from London to New York in about an hour.
The project is funded by the Pentagon and Nasa, and is part of plans to develop faster missiles.
During a test in June 2011, WaveRider travelled at Mach 5, but failed to reach the target speed.
It is one of several projects currently under way to create a hypersonic aircraft."

Those 11 hour flights 10 years from now might be a thing of the past.

High tech saber rattling.

If that's what they got to show us just image what they have which they will never tell us about

LOS ANGELES, Aug 15 (Reuters) - An unmanned experimental aircraft designed to fly six times the speed of sound broke apart over the Pacific Ocean seconds into a military test flight due to a faulty control fin, the U.S. Air Force said on Wednesday.
The problem with the fin on the craft known as the Waverider or X-51A was identified in a test flight on Tuesday, 16 seconds after a rocket booster on the remotely monitored craft was ignited to propel it forward, the Air Force said in a statement.
Fifteen seconds later, when the X-51A separated from the rocket booster, it lost control due to a "faulty control fin," the statement said. The 31 seconds of flight fell far short of the military's goal for the X-51A to fly for five minutes.
The aircraft broke apart immediately and fell into the Pacific Ocean near Point Mugu northwest of Los Angeles, said Daryl Mayer, a spokesman for the 88th Air Base Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

"Fins" are for 1950's vintage Cars... and fossil-fueled behemoths that are better suited to use as boats... or even houses.
When the Real technology is revealed, this 'mach 6' will be a tortoise's pace. Keshe is already talking about it, and you can be certain that NASA retired the Shuttle For A Reason... They would not have 'given up' with that thing, Unless there was a Replacement.
But, since NASA means 'Never A Straight Answer', you won't hear about it until all the 'stops' are pulled.
In truth, at Minimum, the US has had electro-gravitic craft since at Least the early 80's, and I've seen articles that suggest they've had it, or access to it, since the early 60's. And the technology was understood since about 1922 or so, when T.T. Brown did his studies on what is known as the Biefield-Brown Effect (which Tesla also began to understand).
So, this 'test' is just window dressing (more like a movie prop) to sell to those who are unaware of what's really going on.
Soon, but not soon enough, we'll All have access to this, and other technology that can make Our Earth, and Humanity's Experience, AMAZING.
In Unity, Peace and Love
