The Scramjet - 2 hours NY to Tokyo??? 2007-12-17 14:55:00 Chances are you've never heard of a scramjet, and if you have we can almost guarantee you've never seen one in action (unless you happen to work for NASAor DARPA). The concept of scramjets has been around for a while --President Reagan even announced a major scramjet project, the NationalAerospace Plane, in his 1986 State of the Union address. Reaganenvisioned the scramjet replacing the space shuttle, military bombersand commercial aircraft. The program never got off the ground and wascanceled by President Clinton in 1994.Recent advances, however, have moved the scramjet from the lab to fieldtests. While they have been testing scramjets for a couple years, themost recent tests have been extremely favorable.Scramjets work by sucking air to a chamber that narrows until the airis so condensed it ignites.
