Hypersonic propulsion. Color Enhanced Supersonic Hydrogen Flame Through funding from the Hyper-X Program Office at NASA Langley, an experimental study of a dual-mode scramjet combustor is being conducted at the Aerospace Research Laboratory of the University of Virginia. Using conventional instrumentation and multiple laser-based diagnostic techniques, the study aims to further the understanding of the fuel-air mixing and combustion processes within the combustor and to resolve the uncertainty in CFD predictions of such flows. The majority of the experiments are being conducted using a high-enthalpy, continuous-flow facility. This facility simulates Mach 5 flight of a scramjet operating with ramp fuel injection of hydrogen. NASA Langley is performing numerical modeling of the combustor and these results are being compared with the experimental measurements. 2, record 8, English, - hypersonic%20propulsion

Depuis une dizaine d'années, la recherche aéronautique s'intéresse à la propulsion hypersonique, permettant d'atteindre des vitesses supérieures à Mach 6. [...] La technologie de motorisation privilégiée pour la propulsion hypersonique est le statoréacteur, dont la particularité est qu'il n'embarque pas de comburant à bord mais capte celui-ci dans l'air environnant : l'air est capté en amont du moteur et comprimé par un système de tuyère convergente. Le mélange carburant embarqué-air comprimé brûle dans la chambre de combustion avant d'être décomprimé, provoquant ainsi l'accélération des gaz et la poussée nécessaire au vol. 2, record 8, French, - propulsion%20hypersonique

A ramjet engine is a mechanically simple aerospace engine that creates thrust by burning fuel similarly to a normal jet-aircraft engine. The big difference between a jet engine and a ramjet is that a jet-turbine uses fans to compress air to optimize combustion, and a ramjet creates air-compression by the forward motion of air through a partially-restricted intake system. Ramjets have no moving parts, which is a big advantage in comparison to the delicate turbine blades in a normal jet-engine, however ramjet engines typically are not very efficient below speeds of Mach 2. 3, record 11, English, - hypersonic%20ramjet

The first stage is a large (>80 m long, >40 m wing-span), unmanned hypersonic aircraft powered by hybrid, air-breathing turbo-ramjets to carry a smaller Hypersonic Orbital Reusable Upper Stage (HORUS) to an altitude of approximately 40 km. HORUS would then separate at a speed of more than Mach 6 and ignite conventional liquid oxygen/liquid hydrogen engines to reach LEO. With a 4-man crew, HORUS would be capable of delivering up to three metric tons to a baseline 450-km, 28.5 inclination orbit. An unmanned version of HORUS, HORUS-C, could deliver up to seven metric tons of cargo and return a like amount to Earth. 2, record 19, English, - hypersonic%20orbital%20reusable%20upper%20stage

The speed and altitude regimes of these vehicles are bounded by physical and practical limits. At a given altitude, dynamic pressure limitations set maximum and minimum speeds; the minimum is what it takes to lift the vehicle, and the maximum is what the structure can be built to stand. The limits form a hypersonic funnel, a band of increasing Mach and increasing altitude within which lies the optimum cruising envelope for each vehicle. 1, record 29, English, - hypersonic%20funnel
