Just a couple of decades ago, aviation had some rules. If you wanted to fly fast within the atmosphere, you used a jet engine. The champion here was the SR-71 Blackbird, designed by Lockheed Martin, ...

Will DeVerter, a graduate research assistant in the Purdue Applied Research Institute’s Hypersonics Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (HAMTC), prepares his team’s 3D printed scramjet for ...

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 ...

-NASA’s X-43A was a black, wedge-shaped test vehicle that did something once thought impossible: it proved an air-breathing scramjet could fly at hypersonic speeds, reaching Mach 7 and then Mach 9.6 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) regards the ground test of an active cooled scramjet combustor as being a milestone in its development of next-generation hypersonic missiles. (Defence Research ...
