Working on a hypersonic project with one of the usual suspects recently, we ran
into a payload mass issue. Like that never happens. In any event, the payload
vehicle simmed out at Mach 4.92. The PM went nuts insisting that it's not
hypersonic unless it goes Mach 5. I asked everyone in the room for a scientific
citation that says that. I got crickets. Does anybody know or is it like
nano-particles?

If you mean the V-2, that's in ballistic free fall not sustained and
controled flight, a whole different animal. Right?
