The technology used in the test is the next frontier in aircraft propulsion.

India has successfully launched the first test flight of its Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV) from Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha. The missile is part of India's efforts to develop a scramjet engine, which is considered the next frontier for future missile, aircraft, and spacecraft technology.

The test flight of the HSTDV was conducted by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), which has been developing the scramjet engine. 

"The missile was successfully launched at 1127 Hours. Various radars, telemetry stations, and electro-optical tracking sensors tracked the vehicle through its course. The data has been collected and will be analyzed to validate the critical technologies," read a statement from the government.

The statement however did not reveal details about the configuration in which the vehicle was tested. It also did not state if the aircraft did indeed achieve hypersonic speeds.

The test also holds immense learning potential for some programs of ISRO and for the development of the BrahMos-II cruise missile.

Hypersonic refers to speeds that are between 5 and 10 times the speed of sound. The development of aircraft - planes or missiles - that can reliably travel at hypersonic speeds has taken years given the extreme levels of strain on the aircraft, and also a number of physical forces that behave differently from supersonic flight.

Scramjets are different from rockets in that they are air-breathing engines that work on the same fundamental principle as the jet engines we are used to seeing on passenger aircraft. However, scramjets use different principles from jet engines and ramjets on how the compression of fuel is achieved before combustion.

The US, Russia, and China have all tested hypersonic aircraft. Countries that are working on developing hypersonic aircraft apart from India are France, Germany, UK, and Australia.

Indian Army Uniforms

Image
  A  uniform  is a type of  clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization's activity. Modern uniforms are most often worn by armed forces and paramilitary organizations such as police, emergency services, security guards and many others. Today we will be talking about different types of uniforms in Indian army. General Duty : These are different for winters and summers. For winters, the officers wear a peach color shirt, black tie and an olive green blazer along with a beret or a peak cap. In summers, all ranks wear the popular Olive Greens which is also a standard  uniform  in all peace areas.   BluePatrol : Blue Patrol is the dress code for ceremonial uniform during winters. The blue patrol is worn with a ‘bandgala’ coat. The shoulder pips are embroidered along with ranks on the coat except for armored  corps officers who wear a chain mail along with their ranks on the shoulders. This is also preferred as the mess dress and forma

The Rajput Regiment

Image
The  Rajput Regiment  is an infantry regiment of the Indian army. It is composed primarily of troops from the Rajput , and Gurjar community. In 1945, the class composition of the regiment was 50% Rajput and 50% Muslim. Most of the Rajput battalions saw action during the First World War. The 1st battalion fought at the Battle of Dujailah in Mesopatamia, where it was nearly annihilated. The 3rd battalion fought the Battles of Qurna and Kut-al-Amara against the Turks. In one of the battles the Turks had invaded both the flanks of the 3rd Rajput, during which Jemadar Sital Baksh was severely wounded. Sepoy Jhandu Singh rushed to his rescue, the Jemadar ordered him to leave him behind but the sepoy lifted him on his back and started moving through the marshlands. Soon both the rescuer and the rescued became targets of the Turks and were riddled with bullets. Sepoy Jhandu Singh was awarded a posthumous Indian Order of Merit and Médaille militaire. Since the 1980s a number of R
