Dawn Aerospace's latest test flight, conducted as part of its Campaign 2-2 development program, saw its uncrewed Mk-II rocket-powered aircraft reach transonic speeds of Mach 0.92 and an altitude of 50,000 feet.
This achievement represents a substantial enhancement in performance, with improvements of three to five times compared to previous metrics. The company is now ready to begin Campaign 2-3 in September, where it hopes to achieve supersonic flight for the first time. The overarching goal is to create a spaceplane that combines the performance of a first-stage rocket with the predictability and rapid turnaround of a conventional aircraft.
