"Orville Wright's history-making flight carried him a little over 36 metres in the 12 seconds that he spent in the air above the sands of Kitty Hawk. As we mark the centenary of that flight--which coincides with the demise of the world's only supersonic passenger jet, Concorde--numerous efforts around the world are under way to develop aircraft that could travel a thousand times faster than the Wright Flyer."(PHYSICS WORLD) This article discusses the development of hypersonic aircraft, planes that can fly more than five times the speed of sound.
