Hypersonic Systems
Engineering at the edge of Mach 5 and beyond
Hypersonic refers to speeds of Mach 5 and greater, meaning five times the speed of sound. Achieving and sustaining flight at these velocities presents immense engineering challenges, but also offers revolutionary capabilities for aerospace and defense.
Hypersonic systems are poised to transform air travel, missile technology, and space access. They encompass a range of vehicles and technologies to designed to operate at Mach 5 or higher. These include hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs), hypersonic cruise missiles, hypersonic aircrafts, and reusable spacecrafts.
Propulsion for a new era of travel and defense
AEM's components are engineered for Mach 5 and beyond, keeping the flight path true at thousands of miles per hour.
Hypersonic systems require advancements in materials science to withstand extreme temperatures, sophisticated aerodynamics for control at high speeds, and innovative propulsion technologies. Our RF components are critical for communication, navigation, and sensory systems, while our high-rel fuses are indispensable for safeguarding critical electronic components from the extreme conditions of hypersonic flight.
