New Hypersonic Aircraft Can Travel from New York to LA in less than 12 minutes[views:2327][posts:23]____________________________________________ [Aug 11,2011 12:25pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] "Designed by the military research group DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), the triangular wedge of zoom is capable of reaching Mach 20, which is approximately 13,000 miles per hour, according to the agency.
