The Air Force plans a key test of an experimental aircraft designed to fly at six times the speed of sound, or about 3,600 mph.

Oh no.

I've read:  Lighting off those scram jets is like lighting a match in a hurricane.

Hypersonic travel will just have to wait for a while.

Oh man!

A subsystem failure.  They didn't even get to light the fire.  That is the big question.
Can they get it lit and stay lit?  The air traveling through the combustion area is
above supersonic speeds unlike jet engines on supersonic aircraft.

At least they have one left.   $$$s   Thanks for the link.
