US military loses contact with hypersonic aircraft

US military scientists lost contact with an unmanned hypersonic experimental aircraft on its second test flight, officials said.



The first flight wasn't a success either, so I guess considering the current economic conditions, they may not get a 3rd chance any time soon.

We’ll learn. We’ll try again. That’s what it takes
