Same frame, different beast.    While Mk 2.1 continues its campaign toward supersonic, our next two aircraft are already underway. This is what rapid iteration looks like in practice.    Though its airframe is similar to Mk 2.1, what’s inside is more powerful. Mk 2.2 will serve as a test bed for higher Mach propulsion, increased range and endurance, and increased reliability. All technologies that will enable high-supersonic flight.    Mk 2.3, currently in its design phase, will demonstrate the high-temperature airframe needed for ramjet transition with the goal of reaching Mach 3+ speeds.    This is how we’re building the world’s fastest aircraft.
