NASA built an X-42A hydrogen-powered scramjet to reach speeds of Mach 9.6 for a brief moment in 2004. Therefore, this new ...

Decades before hypersonics entered today's headlines, NASA drafted an aircraft that bordered on surreal. Discover the story ...

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 multi-award-winning SPARTAN scramjet engine is now available in Inconel 718, 3D- printed in Australia in cooperation with Amiga Engineering, capable of speeds of up to Mach 7. This technology ...

testing at Mach 6.5 is expected to be completed later this month. This engine, known as the Ground Demonstration Engine (GDE-1), uses standard JP-7 fuel in an ...

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 conventional ...

The X-51A WaveRider hypersonic vehicle, powered by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne’s scramjet engine, achieved aviation history today by making the longest-ever supersonic combustion ramjet-powered flight.

Today scramjet propulsion is the subject of continued study, as it appears to be one of the most promising methods of powering hypersonic weapons and aircraft. So, you may be surprised to learn that ...

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 ...

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 unveil ...

The world of hypersonic vehicles is getting increasingly interesting, with a number of companies already working on designs that should make high-Mach travel inside our planet's atmosphere a reality.

It's 2023, and this year we are supposed to get the first test flight of a 3D-printed hypersonic drone made over in Australia by a company called Hypersonix. And although we don't know for sure if the ...
