Hypersonic missiles wouldn’t exist without one key piece of tech – the SCRAMJET engine. In this video, we break down how supersonic combustion works, why normal turbojets and ramjets fail, and what ...

Doctoral student Max Chern takes a closer look at the wind tunnel setup where University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science researchers demonstrated that control of a dual-mode ...

The difficulties and challenges associated with hypersonic flight are very well known, as they include a need to manage airflow, regulate heat, control guidance technology systems and sustain ...

The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has launched an initiative, dubbed Robust Scramjet, to expand the scale and operability of supersonic combustion ramjets (scramjets) in the run-up to the ...

India is on the verge of a game-changing moment in defense technology with the BrahMos-II, a hypersonic cruise missile aiming for speeds of Mach 7 to Mach 8 seven to eight times the speed of sound.
