"Europe's Hypersonic Leap into Space"
European engineers are working on hypersonic vehicles that could revolutionize air and space travel, potentially allowing passengers to travel from Brussels to Sydney in three hours. The European Space Agency (ESA) is exploring the technological challenges and opportunities for creating reusable hypersonic vehicles for both Earth and space travel. A recent workshop in Germany brought together experts to discuss key areas such as airbreathing propulsion, thermal management, and crew safety systems.
