Hermeus Quarterhorse!

The Mach 5-capable (3,000mph) Quarterhorse will validate the company’s proprietary turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine, which is based around the GE J85 turbojet engine. 

By the end of the flight test campaign, Quarterhorse will be the fastest reusable aircraft in the world and the first of its kind to fly a TBCC engine.

March 2

The first test flight of the Concorde, a supersonic passenger jet, was conducted on this day in 1969, heralding a future only seen in science fiction. Unfortunately, the Concorde would fly its last flight in 2003, due to flight limitations and cost. I guess the technology came too fast.

Back in 1973, Concorde raced the Moon’s shadow along the the Tropic of Cancer. It worked. Those on board a French prototype of Concorde on June 30, 1973 — incidentally during the moments of the Summer Solstice — gazed at Totality for a gob-smacking 74 minutes.
