NASA’s X-43A hypersonic research vehicle, part of the “Hyper-X” program, still holds the world record for an air-breathing ...

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 up to Mach 7. Past the MHD the air would ...

Its shape, however, lived on in two small test vehicles, the NASA X-43 and U.S. Air Force X-51, which have managed a few seconds of scramjet flight. The simpler ramjet, however, can still fly ...

UPDATED November 21, 2004 NASA's X-43A research vehicle screamed into the record books again, demonstrating an air-breathing engine can fly at nearly 10 times the speed of sound. Preliminary data ...

Engineers at NASA have created a prototype of an electromagnetic propulsion system that would use a linear motor and ramjet engine boost system–instead of an all rocket propulsion system–to ...

Aerospace NASA's X-59 jet takes 'flight' without leaving the ground | Space photo of the day for May 20, 2025. ... A ramjet engine burns during a flight test for the P-61 in 1947.

Some ramjet and scramjet engines can even break the sound barrier, allowing aircraft to move at a hypersonic speed thanks to the engine's unique architecture. ... Nasa/Getty Images.

NASA funded a parametric design study to establish the viability of a Turbine Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) Propulsion system consisting of integrating several combinations of near-term turbine engine ...

In this historical photo from the U.S. space agency a ramjet missile from 1947 is pictured. The Nationa Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA) was a precursor to NASA. NACA was created by ...

Ramjet missiles, due to their use of abundant air, are the ideal propulsion system for high speed aircraft, missiles, and other objects. Nammo has finished tests of its new ramjet engine. Missiles ...
