| Description |
This 1 minute and 41 second movie shows the X-43A demonstrated supersonic-combustion ramjet (scramjet) propulsion during two record-setting flights in 2004. Both flights, the first on Mar. 27 and the second on Nov. 16, 2004, demonstrated sustained thrust from the X-43A's air-breathing scramjet engine, the first at nearly 5,000 mph, the second at nearly 7,000 mph, or almost 10 times the speed of sound. |
