Aerojet has completed ground tests of an advanced combined-cycle engine inlet and is looking for an opportunity to flight-test the design, which enables a smooth transition between low-speed turbojet ...

Will the supersonic-combustion ramjet ever be a usable means of propulsion? Boeing, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne and the US Air Force are convinced it can be Hypersonic windtunnel tests have cleared the ...

China has revealed the first known images of an indigenous scramjet test that it says was successfully conducted at speeds up to Mach 7 and altitudes up to 30 km, in December 2015. Credit: National ...

Hypersonic missiles are weapons capable of traveling at speeds of Mach 5 and beyond. The U.S. Air Force successfully tested and concluded its Hypersonic Airbreathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) missile, a ...

This is seriously cool. American aerospace company Orbital ATK has tested a 3D-printed hypersonic engine combustor, one that could supposedly be used in a high-speed plane known as a scramjet. The ...

When Charles “Chuck” Yeager reached a speed of Mach 1.06 while flying the Bell X-1 Glamorous Glennis in 1947, he became the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound in controlled level flight.

India’s scramjet success proves hypersonic strength, but turbine complexity keeps fighter engines a tough challenge.

The first scramjet, an airbreathing jet engine capable of pushing an aircraft beyond Mach 5, was successfully flown in the early 1990s. But while pretty much any other technology you could imagine has ...
