No references found | According to a report by ABC News, the design stems from the goal of the program - to demonstrate an air-breathing, hypersonic, combustion ramjet engine, known as a scramjet. This launch, which took place on August 16, 2002, was the first hesitant step in developing a hypersonic ramjet engine, an event that even now is only barely beginning to reach the public consciousness. The term "scramjet" is used to describe the engine s supersonic combustion ramjet design, which follows the same principles as a ramjet engine in which air coming into an engine is compressed as it is forced through a narrow neck on its way to the combustion chamber, but at supersonic speeds. |
