California startup Stratolaunch completed the first flight of its Talon-A hypersonic aircraft with active engine. The startup's ultimate goal is to develop a reusable version of the aircraft that can fly at 5 times the speed of sound.
The massive Roc carrier aircraft lifted off Saturday from Mojave Air and Space Port in California, carrying a TA-1. The plane then released the hypersonic vehicle at an altitude of about 10,700 meters, from where it raced through the sky at a speed approaching Mach 5.
“While I cannot share the specific altitude and speed achieved by TA-1 due to our own agreements with our customers, we are pleased to announce that in addition to completing all major and On-demand flight targets, we have achieved high supersonic speeds approaching Mach 5 and collected enormous amounts of data and achieved incredible value for our customers,” said Stratolaunch President and CEO Zachary Crevor.
The company will use the data obtained for its future TA-2 flight — reusable version of a hypersonic aircraft. Its first flight is scheduled for the end of this year. Future versions of the Talon-A aircraft will be rocket-powered and capable of carrying payloads at hypersonic speeds. The company also plans to develop a larger hypersonic aircraft called the Talon-Z and a Black Ice spaceplane that would carry payloads and possibly passengers into Earth orbit.
The startup Stratolaunch was founded in 2011 with the goal of using the Roc aircraft to launch Orbital ATK's Pegasus XL rocket into space (similar to how Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo currently operates). After the death of founder Paul Allen in 2018, the company changed direction, focusing on the development, deployment and flight of hypersonic vehicles.

In December 2021, Stratolaunch announced a contract with the Pentagon Missile Defense Agency to provide a test bed to develop defense strategies against hypersonic threats. Stratolaunch attempts to imitate these missile threats with its hypersonic vehicles, which fly at high altitudes and speeds, making it difficult to issue warnings before an attack.
