U.S. hypersonic weapons and aircraft development has progressed over the past year, bringing several trends into focus, and helping to chart a future for future weapons and planes that can travel at speeds of at least five times the speed of sound -- or nearly 4,000 miles per hour. Such capability could deliver guided munitions able to attack an adversary virtually before he could activate air defenses. It could help deliver an aircraft able to fly coast-to-coast in less than an hour.
