Georgia company aims to build the world’s fastest aircraft
Inside a Georgia factory, engineers are working to build some of the fastest aircraft the world has ever seen. AJC reporter Emma Hurt gets a firsthand look at the company developing remotely piloted hypersonic aircraft designed to fly more than five times faster than today’s commercial jets. The company believes the technology could transform military operations, global commerce and eventually passenger travel. As the U.S. faces growing pressure to keep pace in the global race for hypersonic technology, company leaders say advances in speed and maneuverability could reshape the future of aviation.
