HYPERPLANE(INTRODUCTION)

Hyperplanes are planes flying at hypersonic speeds ( hypersonic speed is speed above Mach-5 ).Mach no is the ratio of speed of the object to the speed of the sound.The speed of the sound is about 340 to 350m/s.

Now we have planes flying at supersonic speeds.The fastest manned supersonic planes are SR-71 (USA)and MIG-25(RUSSIA).Previously the record for the fastest flight was set by X-15 (NASA).This plane flew at Mach-6.5.Other planes were XB-70 Valkyrie (USA) {This is the largest experimental aircraft ever built}.Soviet's made a similar type of plane called SU-T4 (This looked similar to XB-70).The supersonic commercial transport planes were Concord of France which is now grounded.TU-144 is the supersonic transport plane of Russia, which was not operationalized due to high fuel consumption , and high noise.

I will give more about history of hyperplanes

ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT HYPERPLANES

I am happy to announce that i will post a detailed discussion on Hyperplanes.I would like to inform dear readers that this hyperplane is not linked to mathematics.Here Hyperplane means planes flying at hypersonic speeds.Speeds greater than Mach-5 are called hypersonic speeds.I am sure that you will enjoy reading it , as it is really interesting and is the most modern technology which is emerging now that will revolutionize the way we travel.I can make space travel much easier , similar to what we have seen in films like Star Wars.Wait for that detailed discussion.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANES(AIRCRAFTS)

There are different types of planes available in the world.Planes can be classified in different ways, based on their uses,speed,type of engines,sizes etc.

SPEED
This is a major classification now used.This is usually based on the speed of sound Mach numbers(speed of sound is termed as one mach).Classifications are;

Subsonic - speed below the speed of sound.eg- transport planes,cargo planes and other civilian purpose planes.

High subsonic - These are planes which have speeds close to supersonic speed, but less than the supersonic speed.
eg-B-2 Spirit bomber,F-117,Some transport planes etc.

Supersonic - These are planes which have speeds greater than that of sound.Their speed varies from Mach 1 to 4 etc.
eg-Fighter planes like Sukoi,F-16,Mig-29,Mirage-2000 etc.
The fastest military aircrafts are Mig-25(Mach-3.21) (RUSSIA) and SR-71 Black Bird(Mach-3.21) (USA)

Hypersonic – These are planes which can attain speeds above Mach-5.
No hyper planes are build successfully so far but some planes are under experimental and at conceptual stages.
Eg- X-43(USA),Avatar hyper plane(India) etc.

Some classifications based on uses are;

Transport(civilian)
A-380,Boeing-777 etc

Cargo planes
Beluga,AN-225 etc

Military(defence) planes
Sukoi-30,F-16,Mirage-200,Mig-21 etc

Major type of defence planes are;

Fighter planes
Mig-35,F-22,Tornado,F-16 etc

Bomber planes
B-2,B-52,TU-166etc

Defence cargo planes
C-130,AN-32,IL-76 etc

Reconaicense aircrafts
Nimrodh,Mig-25,SR-71 etc

AWACS
E-3 etc

Tanker(Mid air refueller)
KC Ekzeteder,IL-78 etc

UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)
Predator,Drone etc

There are other types of planes also.They are;

VTOL(Vertical Take Off And Landing) planes.
eg-V-22 Ospery,F-35,Harrier jet.

Planes used in navy

Planes for experimental and atmospheric studies etc

WELCOME TO HYPERSPEED

I was fascinated by the flying machines from my childhood.I started collecting the pictures of planes , mainly fighter planes.The roar of the jet engines makes me happy.These love for the planes encouraged me to learn more about them.

Now I am a student of mechanical engineering.I would like to share my views and knowledge about planes.My topics of discussion may include modern developments in fighter plane technology and in jet engines.The future travel is decided by the newer developments in space travel and inter continental travel.Hope all of you will enjoy and benefit reading my blog.
