A scramjet engine is a supersonic-combustion engine that ditches the compressor and turbine of a typical jet engine and can attain speeds greater than Mach 5!

A few months ago, India’s DRDO (Defense Research and Development Organization) made the news for successfully conducting the maiden flight test of its unmanned scramjet demonstration aircraft for hypersonic speed flight. Yes, that’s a mouthful. The demonstration aircraft was officially called the ‘Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV)’. The aircraft was designed to achieve speeds greater than Mach 6. To put that into perspective, a passenger aircraft travels at a speed significantly below Mach 1.
Speeds of Mach 6 or higher are achieved by using scramjet technology. Scramjet technology is extremely difficult to develop and, before India, only three other nations (USA, Russia, and China) have been successful in developing such a technology.
