scramjet

As such, no moving parts are needed in a scramjet.

Many do not consider this to be a scramjet "flight," as the test took place near ground level.

At the time, however, no scramjet engine of the kind was close to operational.

They continued exploring the scramjet but found no conclusive evidence.

The aircraft lost control before the scramjet engine could ignite.

During the lab testing the scramjet engine was tested twice for 20s.

The French said progress with the scramjet meant that development of a test aircraft using the jet could begin in 1995.

I will put a tractor beam on the scramjet to stabilize it."

About the same time, the X-30 scramjet programme was announced in America.

"By the time this scramjet left, six hundred and twelve years ago, all the stations were under attack.

The scramjet engine then started, and it flew at about Mach 7.6 for 6 seconds.

The first successful flight test of a Scramjet was performed by Russia in 1991.

Space launch vehicles may or may not benefit from having a scramjet stage.

The test had the longest hypersonic flight time of 140 seconds while under its scramjet power.

Second stage: dummy (Scramjet will be used in the future)

The scramjet is then accelerated down the 150-foot launching tube by the compressed hydrogen.

The scramjet was forced to take evasive action to avoid debris from the stations.

Research purposes are the aero-thermodynamic design and development of a scramjet demonstrator.

The scramjet engine worked effectively and demonstrated supersonic combustion in action.

After firing the scramjet and gathering flight data, the test vehicles also fell into the Pacific.

The scramjet flight test vehicle was designated X-51 on 27 September 2005.

A scramjet differs from an ordinary jet engine in that it can only operate at very high speed.

Scientists think that scramjet will work at 15 times the speed of sound (mach 15).

Next, the scramjet engines would take over.

A scramjet uses the speed of the aircraft to compress the air, so very few moving parts are needed to operate it.
