Hypersonic weapons promise unmatched speed and reach, but they are held back by a fundamental engineering problem: propulsion ...
The Solid Fuel Ramjet (SFRJ) and the Hypersonic Dual-Mode Ramjet (DMRJ) are seeing rapid success as the U.S. hikes spending and development of hypersonic weapons. GE Aerospace has shed more light on ...
American researchers are finally getting a real-time view inside one of the most unforgiving propulsion systems in service, the solid-fuel ramjet, and the payoff could be missiles that fly farther on ...
An American weapon manufacturer recently showcased its prototype Increment 4 Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) design. Lockheed Martin displayed the concept during the Association of the U.S. Army’s ...
TL;DR: A hypersonic dual-mode ramjet engine is a high-speed air-breathing jet engine capable of operating efficiently at both lower and extremely high Mach speeds by utilizing dual combustion modes.
GE Aerospace reported it successfully demonstrated a hypersonic dual-mode ramjet it said could make possible “high-speed flight and longer range” for multi-mission aircraft. The developer also noted ...
Rotating Detonation Engines (RDE) have been flown by Venus Aerospace. They use continuous detonation waves for propulsion and provide 15% efficiency gains (in specific impulse or fuel consumption) ...
