Hypersonic cruise missile
The Ukrainian design is a high-speed missile with a hypersonic, direct air-jet engine capable of operating both solid and liquid fuels. At the expense of the start-up unit, the cruise missile gathers the required flight altitude of 30-40 kilometers, where the environmental conditions allow the maximum effective operation of the hypersonic engine of the cruise missile.
The operation time of the hypersonic engine is short, but even during this time, the aircraft is able to cover a huge distance. According to data from open sources, The promising Ukrainian hypersonic cruise missile will be able to develop a speed of 1,700 meters per second. The range may be about 300 km or higher (it is worth noting that the technical characteristics of the missil theoretically allow you to increase the range to 1750 km).
Specialists are already actively developing new supermaterials that can withstand temperature differences and high loads. In conditions of hypersonic flight, some elements of the rocket will be exposed both to the effects of ultralow temperatures and to the heating of the melting point of the metal. The use of modern composite materials will provide high-speed and, most importantly, highly maneuverable missile flight
