How far along is the technology? March 11, 2009 — A new center to develop the analytical tools needed to design the engines for a future hypersonic aircraft – one that could fly up to 12 times the speed of sound – is being established at the University of Virginia under space shuttle, it would land under power rather than glide in," said Jim McDaniel, a U.Va. Carry more payloads: An advantage of hypersonic air breathing (typically scramjet) vehicle is avoiding or at least reducing the need for carrying oxidizer.75% of the entire assembly weight is liquid oxygen. Associate Professor Smart did fundamental work on new inlet designs while working at the Hypersonic Air-Breathing Propulsion Branch at NASA`s Langley Research Center in Virginia. It's a promising design that tackles one of the bigger problems facing hypersonic engines: the enormous amount of heat generated when you compress air at extremely high speeds. Professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and the principal investigator for a five-year research project on air-breathing propulsion. Airbreathing Hypersonic Propulsion at Pratt & Whitney – OverviewRichard R. The most well-developed hypersonic air-breathing engines are small ones that are easily adapted to act as missile propulsion systems. "The RLV-TD will act as a flying test bed to evaluate various technologies like hypersonic flight, autonomous landing, powered cruise flight and hypersonic flight using air breathing propulsion. That's the idea behind a different propulsion system called "SCRAMJET", or Supersonic Combustion Ramjet: The oxygen needed by the engine to combust is taken from the atmosphere passing through the vehicle, instead of from a tank onboard. GO Hypersonic airbreathing propulsion. Language: English Released: 1993. But the Sabre will use hypersonic airbreathing propulsion up to Mach 5.5 before the rockets take over. Hypersonic Air-Breathing Propulsion. Designed to conduct research, development, and acceptance testing of hypersonic airbreathing propulsion systems, the Hypersonic Tunnel Facility (HTF) is a fully self-contained facility.

Apparently, Chinese developers have abandon to waste time on the hypersonic air-breathing propulsion system but choose a conventional rocket power system to realize Single-stage-to-orbit. This will require complicated air-cooling methods using heat exchangers with flowing liquid hydrogen for the Skylon. The RLV is intended to test several indigenous capabilities, including hypersonic flight, autonomous landing, and powered cruise flight, hypersonic flight using air breathing propulsion.
