Difference between Fixed-wing aircraft and Hypersonic speed

Fixed-wing aircraft vs. Hypersonic speed

A fixed-wing aircraft is an aircraft, such as an airplane or aeroplane (note the two different spellings), which is capable of flight using wings that generate lift caused by the vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings. In aerodynamics, a hypersonic speed is one that is highly supersonic.

Similarities between Fixed-wing aircraft and Hypersonic speed

Fixed-wing aircraft and Hypersonic speed have 13 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aerodynamics, Airfoil, Atmospheric entry, Canard (aeronautics), Lifting body, NASA, Space Shuttle, Spaceplane, Speed of sound, Supersonic speed, Swept wing, Tailplane, Thrust.

Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics, from Greek ἀήρ aer (air) + δυναμική (dynamics), is the study of the motion of air, particularly its interaction with a solid object, such as an airplane wing.

Airfoil

An airfoil (American English) or aerofoil (British English) is the shape of a wing, blade (of a propeller, rotor, or turbine), or sail (as seen in cross-section).

Atmospheric entry

Atmospheric entry is the movement of an object from outer space into and through the gases of an atmosphere of a planet, dwarf planet or natural satellite.

Canard (aeronautics)

A canard is an aeronautical arrangement wherein a small forewing or foreplane is placed forward of the main wing of a fixed-wing aircraft.

Swept wing

A swept wing is a wing that angles either backward or occasionally forward from its root rather than in a straight sideways direction.

Tailplane

A tailplane, also known as a horizontal stabiliser, is a small lifting surface located on the tail (empennage) behind the main lifting surfaces of a fixed-wing aircraft as well as other non-fixed-wing aircraft such as helicopters and gyroplanes.
