At the Edge of Speed: NASA Armstrong’s Hypersonic Journey

At the Edge of Speed: NASA Armstrong’s Hypersonic Journey

At NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, pushing the edge of flight goes back to the center’s origins. From the roar of piloted rocket planes to cutting-edge hypersonic breakthroughs, NASA Armstrong has been at the heart of high-speed flight. Today, the center is ready to help write the next chapter in hypersonic research, advancing vehicles that travel at more than five times the speed of sound.
