Stunning: China Builds World’s Fastest Hypersonic Engine, Can Reach the U.S. in Under 30 Minutes!

"Sunning: China Builds World’s Fastest Hypersonic Engine, Can Reach the U.S. in Under 30 Minutes!"
China just achieved a major milestone in hypersonic flight! Scientists have successfully tested an Oblique Detonation Engine (ODE) powered by jet fuel (RP-3 kerosene), reaching speeds of Mach 16 (19,756 km/h). This is a huge leap in aerospace technology, making hypersonic travel and military dominance a reality.
Unlike traditional scramjets, this engine ignites fuel with shockwaves, delivering 1,000 times faster combustion and enabling lighter, faster, and longer-range aircraft. If successful, this could mean missiles that evade all defenses, hypersonic bombers, and even spaceplanes!
Can China really develop a Mach 16 aircraft by 2030? How will this impact global security and space travel? Watch now to find out!
