The supersonic combustion ramjet engine, 'Scramjet', is a potential means of powering both hypersonic aircraft and for satellite boosting. It is theoretically superior to the present rocket engine, however further 'Scramjet' research is required. The tailored interface hypersonic shock tunnel provides a means by which the conditions in the scramjet combustion chamber can be simulated for short periods of time. For maximum testing times tailored operation of the tunnel is essential. (Author)
