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 ...

The US Air Force said it was looking to launch its 14-foot long X-51A Waverider on its first hypersonic flight test attempt May 25. The unmanned X-51A is expected to fly autonomously for five minutes, ...

-NASA’s X-43A was a black, wedge-shaped test vehicle that did something once thought impossible: it proved an air-breathing scramjet could fly at hypersonic speeds, reaching Mach 7 and then Mach 9.6 ...

The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) completed a series of “record-breaking tests” of a scramjet engine in November. The hot-fire tests were conducted on the ground at the Arnold Engineering ...

More than 14 years have passed since the first X-51A WaveRider—powered by a supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) engine built by Aerojet Rocketdyne, now a part of L3Harris Technologies—made ...

A concept image of Japan's scramjet-powered hypersonic missile. (Japan MoD) Japan's Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Agency (ATLA) has started prototyping components in support of its programme to ...

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 ...
