China is building hypersonic wind tunnel to test hypersonic aircraft that can travel at speeds of Mach 25 (30,627kph), and will reportedly cost far less, local media report. The 265-meter-long wind tunnel, being developed by the State Key Laboratory of High-Temperature Gas Dynamics, under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, can simulate wind speeds of between Mach 10 and 25, Han Guilai, a researcher with the lab, said in a China Central Television (CCTV) interview on Sunday
Russia's most advanced Avangard hypersonic missile system could come into service by 2019, a source in the Russian defense sector told TASS on Thursday. The source said: “After the first series of glide vehicles is produced and a controlling launch of a missile with this armament is carried out successfully, the Avangard complex may be accepted for service already in late 2018
