Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne is starting preliminary design of a fuel-cooled hypersonic ramjet/scramjet combustor for potential reusable applications, following better-than-predicted results from Mach 4 tests of a baseline engine. The tests, which were slated to be completed on May 8, have been conducted under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Facet (Falcon Combined-Cycle Engine Technology) program, and could pave the way for reusable, air-breathing Mach 6 vehicles that could take off and land from a conventional runway.
