Chinese researchers have published a new AI-driven system designed to interpret scramjet combustion simulations at speeds that could compress years of computational work into weeks. The tool, called ...

Going really fast has always been one of the major goals of air-breathing aircraft ("air-breathing" meaning that it's not powered by a rocket, and relies on air for fuel combustion) development since ...

A Japanese research agency has completed a successful combustion test of a hypersonic scramjet engine launched by a sounding rocket. The experimental scramjet vehicle was launched on July 24 by the ...

Building a jet engine yourself likely wouldn't be very easy, but the basic principle of how a jet engine works is fairly simple. Your average jet engine uses a series of fans to inhale air. That air ...

NASA has been officially recognized for setting the speed record for a jet-powered aircraft by Guinness World Records. NASA set the record in November during the third and final flight of the ...

Aerojet Rocketdyne and the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have achieved a new record thrust output from a scramjet engine, providing a boost for hypersonic flight. A year of ground testing ...

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) successfully conducted the first-ever ground test of a full-scale, fully integrated hypersonic cruise ...

Chinese scientists can now reportedly have developed new simulation software that can reduce scramjet engine modelling from years to just weeks. If true, this could prove ground-breaking for ...

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 ...

An Indian military laboratory has passed a milestone toward development of a hypersonic cruise missile, sustaining combustion in a ground rig test for more than 1,000 sec., the Indian government said.
