Hypersonic weapons travel above Mach 5 but are distinguished from ballistic missiles by their maneuvering capability in the boost-glide phase. The engineering challenges are severe: thermal management at 1,700°C+ skin temperatures, plasma blackout disrupting guidance signals, and structural materials that maintain integrity through extreme thermal cycling. Russia's Avangard, China's DF-17, and US ARRW programs reveal different engineering trade-off choices.
