Part 3/9:
Hypersonic Speed
One of the most groundbreaking attributes of the FX is its hypersonic speed potential. Equipped with a dual-mode propulsion system, the FX can switch between conventional supersonic flight and hypersonic boost, achieving speeds exceeding Mach 3.5. This extreme velocity enables the aircraft to outmaneuver conventional air-to-air missiles, making it a highly evasive asset in the sky. The integration of hydrogen-assisted combustion enhances efficiency, reducing heat buildup and opening up sustained flight at hypersonic speeds.
