ScramjetSysteme
ScramjetSysteme is a term often associated with air-breathing jet engine systems designed for hypersonic propulsion. The acronym "SCRAM" stands for Supersonic Combustion RAMjet, referring to engines that operate efficiently at extremely high speeds by combusting fuel in a supersonic airflow within the engine's combustion chamber. These systems are primarily developed for applications in space launch, military missiles, and high-speed aircraft due to their capacity to achieve and sustain speeds exceeding Mach 5.
A scramjet system functions without the need for an onboard oxidizer, as it draws atmospheric oxygen directly
Research and development in scramjet technology are ongoing, with notable programs conducted by organizations such as
Despite these challenges, scramjet systems represent a promising avenue for reaching higher Mach numbers more efficiently
