really interesting point about hypersonics and plasmas. Developments in aviation have trickled down and led to other developments in technology—tons of work in modern control theory, material sciences, and aerodynamics was originally motivated by trying to build a better plane. I’d be surprised if we didn’t learn a few very practical things about plasmas while working on hypersonic weapons
