The X-51A Waverider demonstrated hypersonic flight. Powered by a Pratt Whitney Rocketdyne SJY61 scramjet engine, it was designed to ride on its own shockwave and accelerate to about Mach 6. Image – ...

India has moved a step forward in the development of hypersonic weapon systems with the successful ground test of an active cooled scramjet combustor, the Defence Research and Development Organisation ...

Scramjets are air breathing engines capable of sustaining combustion at supersonic speeds without using any moving parts. The ground test of Scramjet combustor showed successful ignition and ...

A team of graduate students at the Purdue Applied Research Institute (PARI) successfully tested a full-scale, 3D printed scramjet, an engine that allows aircraft to travel at speeds of Mach 5 and ...

Abstract: Scramjet is the basis for future hypersonic vehicles, and fuel supply system is an important part in scramjet engine development ... After simplifying the system, each part's mathematical ...

However, not all aircraft use this type of engine: There are also ramjet and scramjet engines, which utilize different methods of generating energy to propel the aircraft forward. Some ramjet and ...

They tried to get around the problem by having what they call a scramjet engine, which would take the ... turnaround time between missions. A scale model of the plane will be tested this year ...

Nanqiang No. 1 is a small (500 kilogram) ground testing model for a Chinese hypersonic plane program. They have completed over two years of testing. In 2025, China will flight test a small drone. In ...

This program — scheduled to be implemented over three years — revolves around materials and technologies underlying scramjet engine performance. A model of the Hsiung Feng II missile is displayed at ...
