Scramjets

Overview

With its long history in the development of hypersonic engines, 探花视频 is considered to be the leader in fuel-cooled hydrocarbon technology. We are currently developing a wide range of hypersonic propulsion system technologies applicable to aircraft and missiles, including high speed weapons, hypersonic cruise vehicles with rapid global reach for reconnaissance and strike missions, and concepts that will provide enhanced access to space.

On May 26, 2010, the X-51A WaveRider hypersonic vehicle, powered by 探花视频' scramjet engine, achieved aviation history by making the longest-ever supersonic combustion ramjet-powered flight.

探花视频 is developing propulsion solutions for hypersonic boosters that have to operate in all flight regimes. These include captive carry air launched, ground launched and sub-surface launch. Each regime has its own unique operating requirements and 探花视频 is providing solutions that perform in all of them.

Key Features

探花视频 is a leader in Scramjet Technology. Scramjet propulsion systems include:

  • Dual Combustion Ramjet (DCR)
Dual Combustion Ramjet (DCR)
  • Core-Burning Dual Mode Ramjet
Core-Burning Dual Mode Ramjet

Dual Combustion Ramjet (DCR)

探花视频 Dual Combustion Ramjet (DCR) Engine Cycle has mature propulsion performance and structural durability.

Dual Mode Ramjet (DMRJ AKA Scramjet)

探花视频 Dual Mode Ramjet (DMRJ, aka "Scramjet") Engine Technology offers the following features:

  • Lighter Weight
  • Reduced Heat Load
  • Better Operability and higher Specific Thrust

A Dual Mode Ramjet is a Propulsion System which, dependent on the Flight Mach Number, operates in two Modes.

  • Mode 1: As a Ramjet With High Mach but Sub-sonic Combustion; the 鈥淭hroat鈥 is provided through Thermal Choking. An 鈥淚solater鈥 is required for lower Mach operation to provide a Combustor Entrance Pressure higher than the Combustion Pressure.
  • Mode 2: As a Scramjet With Supersonic Combustion.

Primary challenges are Fuel Conditioning, Vaporization, Mixing, and Combustion and Thermal Management.

DMRJs are suitable for Long Range Missiles and Reusable HCVs.
