Research with hypersonic systems is not an easy thing.

The main problem with hypersonic systems is how to control them on air. If the hypersonic aircraft's body is designed the wrong way, that causes thermal problems. But another problem is this: if the aircraft's shape is wrong, the pressure wave or sonic boom will go past the control surfaces. And those layers will not work in that case. In other cases, if the shockwave nuzzles against the aircraft body, that causes overheating. The next problem is the engine. 

The Scramjet engine is the only engine type that can use atmospheric air and create hypersonic exhaust gas. There is introduced an idea that the flap engine or pulsejet model, which was created for the WWII V-1 flying bomb can be connected with the scramjet. In flap scramjets or pulse ramjets, the front flap closes the air inlet when the aircraft flies at a slow speed, and during that time the system injects both, oxygen and propellant, which turns the system into a rocket scramjet.

The rocket mode can used in slow flight and also flight outside the atmosphere. But in high-speed atmospheric flight, the scramjet uses atmospheric oxygen. It is also possible that acoustic systems or lasers can create a thinner channel through air, that allows the aircraft to create low-friction channels through the air.

That allows the scramjet-driven aircraft to fly at hypersonic speed in lower altitudes. The ignition of the scramjet engine is also difficult. To ignite the fuel in the scramjet the aircraft requires a speed that is near Mach 7. In some ideas, the aircraft can rise from airfields using regular turbojets. 

Then it transfers to use ramjets, and then after its speed is over Mach 6, the system can start the fuel injection into the scramjet engine. There is also introduced a model that the aircraft can ionize gas at the front of it. Then magnetic accelerators pull those ions into the scramjet. And that can put air flowing faster than the speed of Mach 7. 

In some theoretical systems, the engine uses micro- or radiowaves that send at the front of the craft to ionize gas. Then the magnets pull that ionized gas over the aircraft wings and to the air inlets. Then that air will turn into heat. Things like microwaves or electric arcs can increase that airflow's temperature. Then that engine injects propellant like hydrogen into the system.

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with th

  Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.  Could a hypothetical Planet X tunnel all radiation?  The myth of Planet X still lives. Nobody ever saw that planet, and the thing that supports the theory of previously unknown large-size planets in Kuiper's belt are mysterious anomalies in Neptune's trajectory. The thing is that nothing else supports the theory of the existence of the "invisible planet". The size of the planet must be very big. And its gravitational field strong that it can affect Neptune's trajectory.  And the search for that mysterious planet is very long work. In some visions, the mysterious gravitational source is mentioned as the small black hole, but nobody understands why that black hole doesn't seem to interact.  In some other theories, Planet X is a glimpse of dark matter. And that thing makes it invisible. But there is one weakness. The dark matter object must have some kind of

Nanoparticles are excellent tools for medicine transporters.

"Researchers have developed a new therapy for pancreatic cancer involving nanoparticles that stimulate immune responses and improve drug delivery. This innovative method has led to significant tumor reduction in mice and holds potential for treating other cancers.

The idea is that the same system that feeds those cells transports those nanoparticles into cells that need medicine. When a nanoparticle goes, into a cell, it releases the chemicals into the targeted cells. Because nanoparticles don't let medical molecules interact with a body that makes it possible to create new and more powerful cytostatics. Nanoparticles can transport things like ricin molecules into wanted cells.  Ricin is one of the most poisonous chemicals. That chemical is useful for next-generation cytostatics, if researche
