NEW DELHI: The DRDO has developed and successfully carried out the ground test of the long-duration Supersonic Combustion Ramjet, or Scramjet-powered hypersonic technology. The Ministry of Defence ...

The ability of the engines to handle airflows at speeds in multiples of speed of sound without using any moving parts gives them the capability of operating at those speeds. The MoD said the ground ...

"The ground test of scramjet combustor showcased several notable achievements, demonstrating its potential for operational use in hypersonic vehicles, like successful ignition and stable combustion," ...

Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic speeds around Mach 3, three times the speed of sound. However, the ramjet efficiency reduces once the vehicle reaches hypersonic speeds – above Mach 5. This ...

While India has tested hypersonic gliders, this is the first time that an active scramjet combustor has been tested for such a long duration. “The hypersonic glider is powered by a rocket motor and ...
