Velontra is moving forward into the unknown, as we rapidly develop hypersonic propulsion and platforms. We are proud to announce that we are teamed with University of Missouri Kansas City to pursue research and development in hypersonics. Our ability to rapidly prototype, combined with UMKC’s subject matter expertise and facilities will accelerate our technology development. …
The B-52 is one of the oldest and longest running airplanes in the USAF fleet. It is pretty cool to see “BUFF” being used “literally” as a step-off point for hypersonic technology development. The B-52 will be used to launch early prototypes of this hypersonic missile. It is also great to the collaboration with the …
