I wonder how much of this testing has been done at Woomera.....asking questions there just gets blank answers even though it is known scramjet testing has been taking place.

hmmm interesting.....typical yanks have headlines for their achievement 5x speed of sound. Australian tests go 10x speed of sound and get no applause.
