Hypersonic cruise missiles, which are powered by scramjets, are limited to below 30 km (19 mi); [c] hypersonic glide vehicles can travel higher. Hypersonic vehicles are much slower than ballistic (i.e. sub-orbital or fractional orbital) missiles, because they travel in the atmosphere, and ballistic missiles travel in the vacuum above the ...
The Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), also known as Dark Eagle[ 9] is a intermediate-range surface-to-surface boost-glide hypersonic weapon being developed for use by the United States Army.
