” got up to speeds of Mach 7”

Or, did they get the wind tunnel up to Mach 7?

I think they mean the model did not explode into a million pieces at Mach 7 winds.

This article is mostly bull sierra, at Mach 36 we would be not just orbital speed but interplanetary speeds. We would leave the earth. If even possible for an aircraft (it is not) the fuel burn would be incredible ( think Saturn Five). The only thing about Mach 36 that would be interesting is to find out how fast titanium will melt (It would be just a few seconds)

The article is crap.
