The "Waverider" is being developed by the US Air Force who hope to have the aircraft ready for testing by 2020. 

The hypersonic air vehicle would reach speeds of 3882mph (Mach 5) at a altitude of over 60,000 feet. 

The Air Force hope to have the plane ready properly by 2023, but would "weaponise" it as opposed to selling it to Michael O'Leary. Soooo we can't hitch a ride around the sales, then!?

It looks like a giant dustbuster.
