Abstract

The potential for use of scramjet propulsion systems is discussed. The applications currently under consideration in the USA are long range missiles, hypersonic aircraft, single stage to orbit vehicles and orbital transfer vehicles (OTV). Experimental shock tunnel testing of a scramjet model at the University of Queensland is described, and its relevance to future scramjet development is indicated.
