The Pentagon acknowledges that it does not control it. This Thursday he did some tests and the unit was lost in the ocean. It can reach 20 times greater than the sound speed. The Pentagon released this Thursday to space the Falcon HTV-2, the fastest plane ever built, to prove it, but lost control of the aircraft. According to the initial data, the device sank in the Pacific.
The Falcon HTV-2, powered by a rocket from the air base of Vandenberg (California), collected data for more than nine minutes until a malfunction caused the loss of signal, it said in a statement the Agency of advanced research projects of EE UU Dnsa (DARPA). The Pentagon agency relayed through the Twitter social network the second and final test of the Falcon HTV-2, which can reach speeds 20 times greater than the sound. The aircraft was subjected to another test in April of last year but the mission had to be aborted nine minutes after takeoff when a fault is detected technician during the launch. After this attempt, engineers changed the design and the aircraft flight patterns. However, the Mission has once again failed and the Pentagon still does not know how to get the control desired during the aerodynamics of the flight phase.
It is disconcerting. But we are confident that there is a solution, we have to find her, he acknowledged the U.S. Department of Dnsa. Source of the news: the Falcon HTV-2, the fastest plane ever built, is sinking in the Pacific
