The Hypersoar will be able to fly from the US, to destroy each
target on the entire globe and fly back to the US without aerial
refueling. It will have the most advanced technologies so it can
not be shot down. It will fly with a speed of mach 10 to reach
any point on the globe within 2 hours.
1 design is to fly the plane outside the atmosphere,then to start
rocket engine and go back inside the atmosphere near the target.

The HyperSoar concept promises less heat build-up on the airframe
than previous hypersonic designs – a challenge that has until now
limited the development of hypersonic aircraft. The key to
HyperSoar is the skipping motion of its flight along the edge of
Earth’s atmosphere – much like a rock skipped across water. A
HyperSoar aircraft would ascend to approximately 130,000 feet –
lofting outside the Earth’s atmosphere – then turn off its
engines and coast back to the surface of the atmosphere. There,
it would again fire its air-breathing engines and skip back into
space. The craft would repeat this process until it reached its
destination.

Can you get any more engines on something?

The Boeing Company and Lockheed Martin have teamed to perform
studies and system development efforts including collaborative
research and development in pursuit of the anticipated U.S. Air
Force 2018 Bomber program

http://www.boeing.com/bds/phantom_works/canard.html

Under joint development by Boeing Phantom Works and DARPA (the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), the Canard
Rotor/Wing, or CR/W, is a revolutionary aircraft that combines
the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft with the flexibility
of rotary-wing flight. The CR/W’s rotor is designed not only to
spin during vertical takeoffs and landings but to stop turning
during flight and convert to a fixed wing for high-speed cruise.

The first CR/W technology demonstrator completed two successful
flight tests on Nov. 24 and Dec. 3, 2003 at the U.S. Army Proving
Ground at Yuma, Ariz.. The demonstrator was damaged during its
third flight on March 23, 2004. After an investigation by DARPA
and Boeing, improvements were made to the CR/W design. They have
been incorporated into a second X-50A technology demonstrator,
which is scheduled to begin flight testing during the summer of 2005.
