Definition of scramjet in English:

scramjet

noun ˈskramdʒɛtˈskramjet

Aeronautics

A ramjet in which combustion takes place in a stream of gas moving at supersonic speed.
〔航空〕超音速燃烧冲压式喷气发动机
Example sentencesExamples
- The task of igniting a scramjet, with air going through the engine at supersonic speed, has been likened to lighting a match in a hurricane.
- Unlike conventional rocket engines, which must carry oxidizer on board, ramjets and scramjets take in air from the atmosphere and compress it enough to burn.
- Like the comparatively slower ramjet counterpart, the scramjet has a simple mechanical design with no moving parts.
- Here scramjets beat the speed of sound using the Pegasus rocket, which later separates from the vehicle.
- The advantages of the technology are clear: the scramjet contains relatively few moving parts compared to a conventional turbine jet engine.
