Subjects
Hypersonic planes -- Research, Aircraft engines -- Testing, Aerospace and defense industries, Business, Transportation industry, X-30 (Aircraft) -- Testing
Abstract

The Hypersonic System Technology Program (HySTP), the successor to the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP), will benefit from research on the Concept Demostration Engine (CDE) ramjet/scramjet engine at NASA's Langley Research Center. The CDE will be tested at simulated speeds exceeding Mach 6.

Abstract

Engineers for the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP) program recorded positive thrust of a scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) engine traveling at Mach 8. In the past, measuring positive thrust of a scramjet engine has proven difficult, since only the nozzle actually produces positive thrust. It is hoped the NASP, a joint effort of the Department of Defense and NASA, will be able to travel at speeds of Mach 25 and reach the Earth's orbit.
