Scramjet Engine
Scramjet Engine
A scramjet engine, short for supersonic combustion ramjet engine, is a type of air-breathing jet engine that operates at hypersonic speeds, typically above mach 5 (five times the speed of sound) or higher. A scramjet engine relies on the principle of ramjet propulsion, which uses the forward motion of the vehicle to compress incoming air and achieve combustion without the need for any rotating components, such as compressors or turbines, as in traditional jet engines.
Scramjet engines have potential applications in hypersonic aircraft, such as reusable spaceplanes or high-speed missiles, due to their ability to provide high thrust at very high speeds, which could enable faster and more efficient transportation in earth's atmosphere or beyond.
