Brief description is presented of engine called Scramjet (Supersonic-Combustion Ramjet) which operates on same principle as conventional ramjet; major breakthrough in ramjet technology consists in elimination of need for slowing incoming air to subsonic speeds to support combustion; principle of ramjet operation is explained; modular and hydrogen fueled Scramjet test vehicles are discussed; it is felt that Scramjet is most promising approach for sustained hypersonic flight.
