[edit]Status
Although reports continued to reference the press releases (in 1998 and repeated in 2000), no development in
the project was forthcoming. Although it presaged 2004's NASA X-43 and the current X-51 Waveriderscramjet
aircraft, the Hypersoar was merely a design concept. As of 2010, Lawrence Livermore (still funded primary by
the DOE) was not actively engaged in any hypersonic vehicle design.
