Feb 11, 2024 · Turbojet engines are wonderful until you want to fly at high supersonic or hypersonic speeds. At that point, ramjets (or even scramjets!) need to be used. Let’s take a …

Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic speeds around Mach 3 (2,300 mph; 3,700 km/h). This type of engine can operate up to speeds of Mach 6 (4,600 mph; 7,400 km/h). Ramjets can be …

Scramjet engines are jet engines that use high vehicle speed to forcibly compress incoming air instead of a compressor or turbine inside the engine for combustion to achieve sustained flight …

In a ramjet, the high pressure is produced by "ramming" external air into the combustor using the forward speed of the vehicle. The external air that is brought into the propulsion system …

In 2023, the U.S. Air Force announced a plan to procure 1,000 Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) starting in the late 2020s, as part of its Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) Family …

Jun 3, 2023 · Ramjets use an internal structure mounted in the intake to manipulate airflow, slowing it to subsonic speeds before it enters the combustion chamber. While they may be …

These aircraft first flew in 2019 and 2022, logging several hundred hours each. As reflected in the statement from Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen. David Allvin: “For the past five years, the X …

Feb 22, 2025 · P&W and GE successfully passed the Detailed Design Review of their offerings for the U.S. Air Force’s next generation NGAP engine, expected to power the NGAD manned fighter.

6 days ago · JetZero claims that their aircraft could fill the mid-size commercial aircraft market. It could carry around 250 passengers over a distance of around 4,000 nautical miles (similar to …

6 days ago · The F-47 jet, officially called the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD), will be built at a Boeing manufacturing space in St Louis. Though the jet's specifications are being …
