Here is a video of a successful X-51 flight, but neither test flight has been full throttled.... mach 6 [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc4HR4VdQmk"]B-52 Takeoff/X-51 Launch - YouTube[/nomedia]
A statement from a spokesmen of the WaveRide project stated that the test had been conducted but, no other results are being released. No wonder they didn't want to release any results right away! It crash right into the Pacific Ocean. On release the WaveRider dropped from the B-52,fell like a bomb, and then the rocket booster kicked in. After the X-51 was boosted into enough speed to use the scramjet the two would separate. This never happen though, even before the scramjet could be used a controlled surface malfunctioned and the X-51 was doomed and plummeted in the ocean. This was the third test flight of the WaveRider, not one of these test have produced results that the the X-51 has been hype up to be. Third time is not the charm, however their is one more WaveRider prototype available for testing but it has not been determined if they are going to use it.
