Did it (or will it) fly or is it a concept?



When I was young I used to pray for a bike, then I realized that God doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.

The one of the three showed on this two pictures already passed exstensive testings by the year 2000 ...

For another one (black one on the second pictures - testings are schedulered and about the third one (first one in the picture) and by my opinion most impressive one I have no info....

So how fast did it go?

I will look it up for you ... cant remember quite cozz it was tested on various heights and based on that speed was different ... but above Mach-5 thats for sure... those are hypersonic vehicles ... and on the basis of that research MARV for Russian ICBM like Topol-M/Bulava was developt ...

These ramjets or scramjets?

Scramjet.

Cool

Scramjets is the way of the future.
Imagine: Unmanned nucleair scramjets airborne@ mach 8, practically 24/7. A weapon platform that
can reach every corner of the earth in a few hours.
