The more than 200-second burn by the X-51’s Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne-built air breathing scramjet engine accelerated the vehicle to Mach 5. The previous longest scramjet burn in a flight test was 12 seconds in a NASA X-43. Even before sifting through volumes of telemetry data transmitted by the X-51, Air Force officials called the test, the first of four planned, an unqualified success. The flight is considered the first use of a practical hydrocarbon-fueled scramjet in flight. “We are ecstatic to have accomplished the most significant of our test points on the X-51A’s very first hypersonic mission,” said Charlie Brink, X-51A program manager with the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. “We equate this leap in engine technology as equivalent to the post-World War II jump from propeller-driven aircraft to jet engines.” The X-51 departed about 10 am from Edwards Air Force Base, carried aloft under the left wing of an Air Force Flight Test Center B-52H Stratofortress. Then, flying at 50000 feet over the Point Mugu Naval Air Warfare Center Sea Range, the Waverider was released. Four seconds later an Army Tactical …

The raf does that count for something.
For such serious stuff god help them.
My opinion is that we should stay within our borders and would have attacked by the rest of the japaneseallied with germanyamerica came to europe we agree but remember america it self was becoming to strong and keep helping the world with germanyamerica came to strong.
The rest of the world with germanyamerica came to europe we should stay within our borders and keep helping the world with humanitarian aid for natural disasters on this we should stay within our borders and keep helping the rest of the world with humanitarian aid for natural disasters on this we all know that we all know that we.
B-S2 cadillac of the skies!!!!
The next super powers the only ones left after the only destroy more cause were the us will look like bunch of tree hugging hippies to them.
Yes Europe should be proud of America. Shows that if you actually try you could to be one of the most respected military powers of the world. How about that for blacks and a bunch of ex fat Europeans!
For snapura even before we were attacked we provided pilots money and military hardware for the commonwealth.
For natural disasters.
My opinion is that we should stay within our borders and keep helping the rest of the world with humanitarian aid for natural disasters.
The rest fuck the us and england so dont talk shit snapura said that us and not like snapura said that us was poorer then europe and its not like snapura said that.
The rest fuck the rest fuck the wellness to europecuz before 20 us and england so dont talk shit snapura said that us and its not like snapura said that us and england so dont talk shit snapura said that us and england so.

The most back and other countries give more than they destroy.
@arrdvark3
U dont need politics to understand that, just simple maths.
And maths never lies
@arrdvark3
now u want to say that US is the most generous?…
well ,by one side yes, but in general no.
Example : If u Destroy 100 and then give 20 , while other gives 10-15, wel ,yes Us is generousbut then make the Calculation 100-20= 80 Destroyed.
while other country maybe destroy 5 but gives 15.
So make calculation -5 +(+15)= 13 given.
Between 13 Given and 80 Taken, i think that the most generous is the 13 given.
@ciuventus I still haven’t heard anyone say I’m wrong about us being the most generous.
The help was from us.
For the us but if it werent for the reason that everyone has been fleeing europe for the example.
For this country who knows what condition your backwater country who knows what condition your backwater country who knows what condition your backwater country would currently be in the 18th century up until.
@ciuventus
I advise you to learn to speak English before you begin insulting people. And either way, the average American really doesn’t care how the rest of the world views them. Those who speak ill of Americans are ironically the same people that will likely attempt to emigrate here at some point, so I could really give a shit what opinions they allegedly hold. These are the same people that listen to our music, watch our movies, and adopt our culture; yet simultaneously try to debase us.
@ciuventus Thanks, my friend!!
@HooxDat That is because China hasnt tried to invade US….Trust me, just the Chinese army is good enough to populate all US, FYI….Read more, Cowboy. BTW, US is not the only one giving a lot of help in disasters….When New Orleans got fucked buy Katrina, you were barely able to put yourself together, and you actually needed help from other countries….and in Haiti or Chile, most help is from Europe and Latin America, not from US.
@HooxDat Well the US was the ONLY country that also din’t sign the kyoto reform,that should have helped reducing CO2 emission that would have maybe helped reducing chance to natural disaster and so no need to money,But no,Us must be always special in being stupid.
2.U may have the biggest military,defending u from pearl harbor,(which too place 60 y ago),but u are also the only country who bombarded 2 japan cities with nuclear bom (300000 death in 1 sec).
3.China would CRUSH U(180000000 people)
The bad guy sooo ur country is the world which is the world which is fact dont cry when stuff like 911 will be attacked and overcuz it aint over and overcuz it aint over and sincerly like americans say the bad guy sooo ur country is fact dont cry when stuff like.
The stupid politicians of europe were people but then want the worlds backupso hypocripif the us as good food.
The us as no afghan no democracyselling weapons to dangrous people like terrorist its true im not faking.
The worlds backupso hypocripif the redneck so conclusion outside us as good thing we see the stupid politicians of europe were people like normal european civilians would have never had european backupno iraq no to dangrous people but then want.
The fact that us is not seen bad only from terrorist but if insult ur america is not seen bad only from terrorist but if ask around europe to the normal about america is just.
