Some ramjet and scramjet engines can even break the sound barrier, allowing aircraft to move at a hypersonic speed thanks to the engine's unique architecture. Let's look at the differences between ...

According to NASA, scramjets operate by forcing air through the engine at well over the speed of sound for the entire process of combustion. Theoretically, scramjet-powered objects could reach ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — 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 ...

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 ...

The first scramjet powered by the jet fuel JP-10 has made its first free flight. The craft is being developed for use in missile warfare. It launched aboard a booster rocket from the Wallops ...

A Nasa scramjet test in June failed when the missile that was intended to bring the engine up to its operating speed went off course. The engine tested at Woomera was built by an international ...

A new scramjet engine, shaped like a bullet, will be tested in the Australian desert tomorrow by an international team of scientists that hopes it will be more efficient than previous designs.

In achieving Mach 6.83 the vehicle's supersonic-combustion ramjet (scramjet) engine propelled the craft for 11 seconds. The X-43A was boosted to an altitude of 29,000 m (95,000 ft) by a Pegasus ...
