An 18-hour commercial flight is enough to make anyone squirm. But don’t expect near-term aerospace tech to save you from long hours in that dreaded middle seat. An 18-hour commercial flight is enough ...

A small group of Australian scientists made aviation history July 30 with the successful atmospheric test of a supersonic air-breathing engine in flight. Working with a budget most big science ...

More than 14 years have passed since the first X-51A WaveRider—powered by a supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) engine built by Aerojet Rocketdyne, now a part of L3Harris Technologies—made ...

After decades of false starts, America’s leading scramjet engine developers say scramjet-powered hypersonic flight is now within reach. That’s partly thanks to the coming of new 3D printing technology ...
