A Japanese research agency has completed a successful combustion test of a hypersonic scramjet engine launched by a sounding rocket. The experimental scramjet vehicle was launched on July 24 by the ...

Supersonic combustion and scramjet engine dynamics represent a frontier in aerospace propulsion, offering a pathway to ultra‐high-speed flight through the efficient combustion of fuel in a supersonic ...

Article Summary - NASA’s Mach 10 Dream: Can the X-43A’s Legacy Go Operational? -In 2004, NASA’s X-43A set the air-breathing speed record at Mach 9.6, validating scramjet combustion but only for 10 ...

Hypersonic missiles wouldn’t exist without one key piece of tech – the SCRAMJET engine. In this video, we break down how supersonic combustion works, why normal turbojets and ramjets fail, and what ...

Building a jet engine yourself likely wouldn't be very easy, but the basic principle of how a jet engine works is fairly simple. Your average jet engine uses a series of fans to inhale air. That air ...

Will the supersonic-combustion ramjet ever be a usable means of propulsion? Boeing, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne and the US Air Force are convinced it can be Hypersonic windtunnel tests have cleared the ...

NASA has been officially recognized for setting the speed record for a jet-powered aircraft by Guinness World Records. NASA set the record in November during the third and final flight of the ...

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) successfully conducted the first-ever ground test of a full-scale, fully integrated hypersonic cruise ...

A jet engine is any engine that can propel an aircraft of some kind via rearward expulsion of a jet of fluid, typically a hot exhaust gas that the engine generates by drawing in fuel from the ...

An experimental hypersonic jet engine has been successfully tested in flight for the first time, Australian scientists have announced. The HyShot supersonic ramjet combustion or “scramjet” engine ...

ATLA is working to develop a scramjet engine to power various hypersonic vehicles, including a cruise missile. (ATLA/Japan MoD) Japan is preparing to conduct the first combustion flight test of its in ...
