Scramjet prototype tests Purdue hypersonics additive-manufacturing capabilities

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A team at the Purdue Applied Research Institute (PARI), the university’s research and development center, is using state-of-the-art additive-manufacturing equipment to print a full-scale, fully operational prototype of a supersonic combustion ramjet, or scramjet, an engine that allows aircraft to travel at speeds of Mach 5 and beyond. Researchers in PARI’s Hypersonic Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (HAMTC) believe […]
