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 ...

This means leveraging rotating detonation combustion – a far more efficient means of power production – within a dual-mode ramjet (also sometimes called a dual-mode scramjet). Ramjets and ...

Going really fast has always been one of the major goals of air-breathing aircraft ("air-breathing" meaning that it's not powered by a rocket, and relies on air for fuel combustion) development ...

This will be a hypersonic missile with a supersonic ramjet engine that is scheduled for deployment around 2027. Drawings of the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile are below. The scramjet propelled the ...

In fact, since ramjet (and scramjet) engines don’t have rotating parts (compressor and turbine) as turbojet and turbofan engines, they rely on specially designed air inlets to compress the air ...

More than 14 years have passed since the first X-51A WaveRider—powered by a supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) engine built by Aerojet Rocketdyne, now a part of L3Harris Technologies—made ...

fully operational prototype of a supersonic combustion ramjet, or scramjet, an engine that allows aircraft to travel at speeds of Mach 5 and beyond. Researchers in PARI’s Hypersonic Advanced ...
