DRDO conducts key test in scramjet technology development
In a crucial milestone in the development of next-generation hypersonic munitions, the Defence Research and Development Organisation has successfully demonstrated a cutting-edge active cooled scramjet combustor ground test for 120 seconds for the first time in India. The key to hypersonic vehicles is scramjets, which are air breathing engines capable of sustaining combustion at supersonic speeds without using any moving parts, DRDO noted in a statement. “The ground test of scramjet combustor showcased several notable achievements, demonstrating its potential for operational use in hypersonic vehicles, like successful ignition and stable combustion,” it stated. The fuel offers dual benefits of significant cooling improvement and ease of ignition.” Further, DRDO said that another key achievement is the development of state-of-art Thermal Barrier Coating which is designed to withstand extreme temperatures encountered during hypersonic flight.
