NASA X-43NASA set an unofficial speed record of 7,000 MPH today with the experimental scramjet X-43. The most amazing part of the whole thing is the X-43 has no rotating engine turbines like conventional planes, instead it uses the shape of the airplane to “scoop” air and mix it with hydrogen for fuel.
