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.

NASA built an X-42A hydrogen-powered scramjet to reach speeds of Mach 9.6 for a brief moment in 2004. Therefore, this new unmanned aircraft would be more of an optimization and refitting of an ...

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 ...

China is starting to ramp up its scramjet propulsion workan initiative that will benefit high-speed missile programs while also helping the country to develop advanced aerospace materials, greater ...

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 ...

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 ...

ATLA is working to develop a scramjet engine to power various hypersonic vehicles, including a cruise missile. (ATLA/Japan MoD) Japan is preparing to conduct the first combustion flight test of its in ...

Aerojet Rocketdyne and Northrop Grumman have demonstrated large scale scramjet technologies by testing engines with thrust levels exceeding 5,897 kg as part of the US Air Force’s (USAF’s) Medium Scale ...
