NASA has made aeronautics history by launching an experimental jet that reached a record velocity of just over seven times the speed of sound.
It is the first time a supersonic-combustion ramjet, or scramjet, which uses air for fuel, had traveled so fast, flight engineer Lawrence Huebner told reporters.
