X-43A Flights To Be Included In 2006 World Records Book

From AviationWeek.com 2005 June

Guinness World Records has officially recognized NASA's X-43A Hyper-X program for setting the speed record for a jet-powered aircraft.

The unpiloted, 12-foot-long scramjet demonstrator reached Mach 9.6 (approximately 7,000 mph) during its final flight off the coast of California last November, tripling the top speed of the jet-powered SR-71 manned aircraft (DAILY, Nov. 18, 2004). The flight also broke the X-43A's earlier record of Mach 6.8 (5,000 mph) set in March 2004. Both X-43A records will be featured in the upcoming edition of the Guinness World Records book, to be published in September 2005.

NASA's Langley Research Center is crafting a proposal for a larger follow-on vehicle to the X-43A, the X-43C (DAILY, May 31).

Products & Services
Network Wiring and Cabling Services
Network wiring and network cabling services install copper and fiber optic cable within buildings or central offices.
Cable Testers
Cable testers are handheld or benchtop electronic devices that measure the electrical and physical properties of network cabling.
Cable Bus Systems
Cable bus systems are used to transfer large amounts of power (very high current and voltage) between a power source and a load center. They are engineered systems that include cable trays, wireways, and conductors for connecting a power source to a machine. Unlike trays and wireways, cable bus systems are complete packages that include wiring or cabling.
Ethernet Cables
Ethernet cables are designed to support Ethernet, a standard protocol for the connection of computers in a local area network (LAN). They use twisted pair cables and modular connectors, and are designed to run at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1 Gbps.
Cable Assembly Services
Cable assemblies services manufacture custom, connectorized cables such as coaxial, fiber optic, and multiconductor products.
