ISRO successfully tests scramjet engine

Firstpost  

India on Sunday morning successfully tested its own scramjet or the air-breathing engine with the launch of a big sounding rocket, said a senior official of Indian Space Research Organisation. He said that as scheduled the two stage/engine RH-560 sounding rocket took off from the rocket port located at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. He said the two air breathing engines were like hugging the rocket on its sides and normally when the rocket reaches a height of 11 km the scramjet engines would start breathing air. The scramjet engine, used only during the atmospheric phase of the rocket’s flight, will help in bringing down the launch cost by reducing the amount of oxidiser to be carried along with the fuel.
