They are investigating new configurations in collaboration with NASA's Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion Branch at Langley Research Center in Virginia. How far along is the technology? Professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and the principal investigator for a five-year research project on air-breathing propulsion. All current spacecraft use chemical rockets (bipropellant or solid-fuel) for launch, though some (such as the Pegasus rocket and SpaceShipOne) have used air-breathing engines on their first stage. Airbreathing Hypersonic Propulsion at Pratt & Whitney – OverviewRichard R. Hypersonic airbreathing engines can operate on a variety of fuels, including hydrogen and hydrocarbons. We are currently working on uncertainty quantification of hypersonic air-breathing propulsion (at our PSAAP Center), low-boom supersonic aircraft, and high-speed re-entry vehicles, among other things. The RLV-TD will act as a flying test-bed to evaluate various technologies — hypersonic flight, autonomous landing, powered cruise flight and hypersonic flight using air breathing propulsion. Various technologies, namely, hypersonic flight, autonomous landing, powered cruise flight and hypersonic flight using air breathing propulsion towards realising a Two Stage to Orbit (TSTO) fully re-usable launch vehicle. March 11, 2009 — A new center to develop the analytical tools needed to design the engines for a future hypersonic aircraft – one that could fly up to 12 times the speed of sound – is being established at the University of Virginia under space shuttle, it would land under power rather than glide in," said Jim McDaniel, a U.Va. Most satellites have simple reliable chemical thrusters (often monopropellant rockets) or resistojet rockets for orbital 7-Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion (Aiaa Education) by William H. The most well-developed hypersonic air-breathing engines are small ones that are easily adapted to act as missile propulsion systems.
