In a traditional ramjet, the air entering the engine inlet is slowed by the shock cones which narrow the passageway for air pressure, and in turn, increase the jet's speed. However, scramjets use ...

The most powerful jet engines you can find on commercial planes ... If enough water gets into the core, it could extinguish the high-pressure flame being generated in the combustion chamber ...

Turbo charger Jet Engines have long been considered one of the holy grails of backyard engineering. This is with good reason – they’re hard to build, and even harder to run. Many a turbo has ...

the beginning of the engine's core, increasing the air's pressure and temperature. From there, it's pushed into the combustion chamber, where the hot air is mixed with jet fuel and ignited.

It’s left to [Integza] to take this idea and see it as the compressor for a jet engine, and though the prototype you see in the video below is fragile and prone to melting, it shows some promise.

At Mach 9, the tests revealed pressure spikes at detonation points reaching 20 times that of ambient levels, suggesting the engine was capable of generating a considerable thrust in a speed region ...
