Scramjet technology is designed to eliminate the need to carry oxygen. Instead of bringing it "along for the ride," a scramjet-equipped aircraft will scoop up oxygen as it flies, decelerate it ...

And sooner than you think, it could be coming to an airport near you. What exactly is a scramjet? Short for "supersonic combustion ramjet," a scramjet is, at its core, an engine technology aimed ...

NASA hypersonics expert Dr Isaiah Blankson believes that MHD energy-conversion in the intakes can take 30-40% of the energy, letting a turbine engine run at ...

The Boeing X-51 Waverider demonstrated the viability of scramjet technology during a 2013 test flight, reaching Mach 5.1 while flying for over three minutes, as reported in Boeing's official media ...

The X-43A reached a speed of Mach 6.83, or roughly 5,000 miles per hour, and flew under scramjet power for about 10 seconds. This flight set a new world record for the fastest air-breathing aircraft.

An experiment in harnessing scramjet technology for future space transportation systems was flown last weekend by the University of Queensland.

The aim of the HyShot program is to provide the world’s first in-flight tests of scramjet technology, validating experiments held in ground test facilities.

Both NASA and DARPA have been dabbling in scramjet technology for years, creating a vast body of knowledge and data for engineers to build upon.

The Senate Appropriations Committee has approved funding for research on new technology that could one day allow planes to travel anywhere in the world within two hours. The $25 million research ...
