Eventually, hypersonic transports carrying passengers may zip just as quickly over the Pacific, Dahm adds. These will be good for flying both in airspace and outer space: the United States is developing a hypersonic reconnaissance plane, a hypersonic cruise missile, and a hypersonic transport and passenger plane as well as a gliding ICBM warhead and an aerospace plane.
