X-43A aircraft
X-43A aircraft. Computer artwork of the unpiloted X-43A aircraft, or Hypersonic Experimental Vehicle (Hyper-X), in flight high in the atmosphere. It will test the first scramjet-powered jet engine to work at hypersonic speeds, those over 5 times the speed of sound (Mach 5). Scramjet (supersonic- combustion ramjet) engines, which work at Mach 7- 10, could be used in hypersonic aircraft or reusable spacecraft. Unlike rockets, which must carry both fuel and the oxygen in which it burns, scramjets use oxygen from the air scooped up as the aircraft flies, increasing potential payload. Initial rocket propulsion is needed to reach oper- ating speeds. The X-43A is operated by NASA, USA

With meticulous attention to detail, this computer-generated artwork brings the X-43A's innovative features to life, making it an inspiring addition to any home or office space. Transport yourself to the future of aerospace with this captivating X-43A aircraft poster print.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 52.6cm x 42cm (20.7" x 16.5")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the futuristic X-43A aircraft, an unpiloted marvel of engineering and innovation. Created through computer artwork, this Hypersonic Experimental Vehicle (Hyper-X) is depicted soaring high in the atmosphere during a test flight. Its groundbreaking purpose? To evaluate the world's first scramjet-powered jet engine capable of operating at mind-boggling hypersonic speeds - over 5 times faster than sound itself (Mach 5). Scramjet engines, designed to function between Mach 7 and Mach 10, hold immense potential for utilization in hypersonic aircraft or reusable spacecraft. Unlike traditional rockets that must carry both fuel and oxygen onboard, scramjets ingeniously scoop up oxygen from the surrounding air as they fly, significantly increasing their payload capacity. While initial rocket propulsion is necessary to achieve operational speeds, it is within the realm of this cutting-edge technology that future space exploration may be revolutionized. Operated by NASA in the United States, the X-43A represents a remarkable prototype that pushes boundaries in research and transportation. This awe-inspiring image not only captures our imagination but also highlights humanity's relentless pursuit of progress in aerospace engineering. With its sleek design and unparalleled capabilities, this unpiloted wonder serves as a testament to mankind's unyielding quest for scientific breakthroughs beyond Earth's limits.
