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 ...

Will DeVerter, a graduate research assistant in the Purdue Applied Research Institute’s Hypersonics Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (HAMTC), prepares his team’s 3D printed scramjet for ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Article Summary - NASA’s Mach 10 Dream: Can the X-43A’s Legacy Go Operational? -In 2004, NASA’s X-43A set the air-breathing speed record at Mach 9.6, validating scramjet combustion but only for 10 ...
