A brief discussion is presented of the major problem areas involved in the development of a hypersonic ramjet engine. Keeping the structural temperature to an acceptably low level is the severest problem expected. A rapid survey is made of some of the relatively unconventional concepts that may find application in the hypersonic region. These include supersonic combustors, underwing burning, atmospheric-recombination, engine installation, nuclear power, variable geometry, and fuel-rich operation.
