2. Introduction
 Humans always wanted to travel faster.
 Supersonic and hypersonic flights make it possible.
 These technologies help in defense, space, and future air
travel.

3. What is Supersonic Flight?
 Supersonic means faster than sound.
 Speed: Mach 1 (1,225 km/h) to Mach 5 (6,125 km/h).
 Examples: Concorde, F-22 fighter jet.

4. F-22 Fighter Jet
 A supersonic stealth fighter
developed by Lockheed Martin
for the U.S. Air Force.
 Flies at Mach 2.25.
 First flight in 1997, operational
since 2005.
 Used for air dominance and
advanced military operations.

5. The Concorde
 First commercial supersonic airliner, started in 1976.
 Developed by British Airways and Air France.
 Flew at Mach 2, twice the speed of sound.
 Retired in 2003 due to high costs and low demand.

6. What is
Hypersonic
Flight?
 Hypersonic means much faster
than sound.
 Speed: Mach 5 (6,125 km/h) and
above.
 Examples: NASA X-43, SpaceX
Starship.

7. Examples of
Hypersonic
Vehicles
 NASA X-43A: First scramjet aircraft.
 Boeing X-51 Waverider: Hypersonic test plane.
 China’s DF-ZF & Russia’s Avangard: Hypersonic
missiles.

8. Hypersonic
Missiles
 Faster than Mach 5.
 Hard to stop or detect.
 Used by USA, Russia, China, India.

9. Difference Between
Supersonic & Hypersonic
 Supersonic: Mach 1-5 | Hypersonic: Mach 5+
 Supersonic uses jet engines | Hypersonic uses scramjet.
 Supersonic: Passenger and military jets.
 Hypersonic: Missiles, space travel.
