I'm not familiar with this program. Does anyone know the intended purpose? The range of 400nm makes me think it's intended for the navy. At mach 6 it would make a nice kinetic weapon for taking out a ship. Or it could be an anti-missile weapon (but I'd be surprised).
Anyone?

I used to work for, what was then Bendix Avionics, and one of the products we made was that “Pull Up!” warning. You’d never believe where that came from............

The pic, yes, but the actual FAA device, Ground Proximity Warning System, does actually say “Pull Up! Pull Up!”........

The HyFly is powered by a dual-combustion ramjet (DCR) built by Aerojet.
Shoulda used a Hemi........

You’d never believe where that came from............ It's an old movie line, isn't it? "Battle of Britain," or some such?

The voice "Pull up!" was generated by the same device as the Texas Instruments "Speak & Spell" educational toy that was popular at the time...........
