A '''SCRAMJet''' is a type of [[ramjet]] engine in which the mixing and combustion of air within the engine is taking place at supersonic speed. A vehicle using SCRAMJet technology would have an approximate operating range of [[Mach]] 4 to Mach 15. Supplementary methods of propulsion would be necessary to initially accelerate the vehicle to Mach 4 and to accelerate such a vehicle into orbit (about Mach 26). | |||
