Their work aims to improve scramjet engine construction's structural and operational resilience under extreme conditions, as outlined in their technical overview, which is available online.

The scramjet engine would propel the X-24C at sustained speeds in excess of Mach 6, reaching intended peak speeds that were higher than Mach 8, or more than 6,130 miles per hour. The aircraft ...

NPR's Madeleine Brand gets the word from Ira Flatow, host of NPR's Science Friday, about the new super-fast "scramjet" currently undergoing tests at NASA.

Aerojet Rocketdyne has continued to improve the aerothermal performance, affordability, scalability and rapid manufacturability of scramjet engines to meet emerging needs for hypersonic missile ...

ATK previously built the hydrogen-fueled X-43A Scramjet, the world-record holder for powered flight which obtained a top speed of nearly Mach 10 in a November 2004 flight test.

The SR-72 “Darkstar,” the hypersonic successor to the legendary SR-71 Blackbird, is a revolutionary platform designed to secure American power for the 21st century. -Traveling at over Mach 6, its ...

The race to field reusable hypersonic aircraft got a whole lot hotter last month, with GE Aerospace announcing a breakthrough in high-speed jet engine design that could potentially allow ...

STUDENT SCRAMJET: Aerospace engineering researchers and students at the University of Virginia will display a hypersonic “scramjet” engine prototype March 19. The research team is preparing to ...

Our scramjet engine powered the record-setting test flights of the X-51A WaveRider, and we have accelerated our development efforts since then.

The Waverider is powered by a supersonic combustion scramjet engine, and will accelerate to about Mach 6 as it climbs to nearly 70,000 feet.

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 ...
