Breaking Mach 9.6 with an air-breathing engine wasn’t just a speed stunt. It confirmed that scramjets can operate where rockets once had the field to themselves,” said Harry J. Kazianis, citing the ...

What has zero moving parts, yet can blast an aerial vehicle to velocities beyond Mach 5? The answer is the recently flight-tested Atmospheric Test of Launched Airbreathing System (ATLAS) powered by a ...

Atlanta-based hypersonic flight start-up Hermeus has released images showing its Quarterhorse Mk 2 prototype on its landing gear as assembly progresses toward planned first flight this year.

Lockheed Martin’s SR-72 Son of Blackbird or “Darkstar” aims to replace the SR-71 with hypersonic ISR—and possibly strike—using a turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) that blends a turbofan for ...

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 ...

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 ...
