I cannot say I've seen this one. Hypersonic SAM?

Very highly-swept wings and tailplanes on what I guess is your generic ogive forebody, possibly an elliptical one or flattened on the bottom half. Aft end of a hollow box-like structure can...
Northrop Grumman has been awarded a US patent (number 7828243) for a hypersonic aircraft configuration with combined-cycle propulsion that promises reduced drag and weight for increased performance...
In the 90's exoatmosferic hypersonic airliners seemed near to enter production. 15 years before nobody talks about it. All that technology has been vanished after the NASP demonstrator program was cancelled?

EADS has a design for a Zero Emission Hypersonic Transportation (Zehst) rocketplane.
Of course there's an animation too:

I really don't get what EADS think they'll achieve publicising such designs that no one (not even the EU) will ever fund ...
Development of the "Ajax" and "Neva" hypersonic flight vehicles with MHD (Magneto-Hydrodynamic) propulsion was initiated at the Leninets design bureau in late 1980s. There were apparently several configurations, some for hypersonic atmospheric flight, some for space launch. I have found some...
Hi there, and hello back again...
Just found an interesting bunch of illustrated material popping out of DARPA's IH (Integrated Hypersonics) program Proposer's days presentations.
We have:
(1) a notional HX boost-glide vehicle concept, clearly building upon the HTV-1 and HTV-2 experience...
...has proposed a full range of new interceptors, including a space-based system, an air-launched missile and the “Valkyrie” for terminal hypersonic defense. "

Anybody know anything...
...away from getting a bit creative with the naming scheme, because of course a drone that proudly displays a "SEXBOMB" livery traveling at hypersonic speeds while the surface temperature of its skin raises sounds sexy :D...
This was apparently being developed for the Soviet T-4 and DSB-LK hypersonic bomber and were also planned for the Tu-160.

University of Virginia
March 10, 2011 - Aerospace engineering researchers and students at the University of Virginia are helping to create a hypersonic "scramjet" engine that...

The Fattah-1 hypersonic missile was again showed during the military ceremony in Iran two days ago.
IRNA photo from a military exhibition in Iran from last year:
Technical details are still only in the sphere of suppositions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fattah-1_(missile)
Not particularly scale or a model but I had to have this.
Described by the seller as a 1/144 BOAC Hypersonic Airliner. It is a pretty basic homemade job but it captures the look and feel of the models that sat on Travel Agents counters in the 50s and vaguely resembles some of the planes seen...
...and has answered many questions I have had for a long time regarding missile developments. It has also opened my eyes to the world of UK hypersonics, and I love the way it closes by hinting that this work may have passed to the US, and may be flying!
It also illustrates a number of aircraft...
I've been fascinated by the first Boeing hypersonic concept in http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1041.msg4377.html#msg4377 ever since I first saw it. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any more information available, the closest being the Boeing Model 1074-006 that...
...Laboratory (AFRL) Funding in NDAA
Chairman Turner included language in the NDAA to allow AFRL to assume oversight and management of the Hypersonic Airbreathing Weapons Concept. AFRL will be tasked with:
Developing a reusable hypersonics test bed to further probe the high speed flight...
OMG, what a gain a BS-report. If China reveals a hypersonic-concept it's immediately some sort of "hypersonic-strike-aircraft". If such models appear anywhere else it is for civil hypersonic studies.
