🚀 Turbojet, Ramjet, Scramjet – How We Push the Speed Limits in Aviation ✈️ Ever wondered how engineers make aircraft go faster and faster? It all comes down to the engine: Turbojet: Uses compressors and turbines to pressurize incoming air. Combustion happens at subsonic speeds. Works well across many speeds but struggles at extreme velocities. Ramjet: No moving compressors. The aircraft’s speed and shock waves slow air to subsonic speeds for stable combustion. Efficient above Mach 3, but can’t

This plane has neither a turboprop nor jet engine, yet it still takes to the skies! The Ramjet's forward motion propels air into the combustion chamber, producing exhaust and incredible speed. | Interesting Engineering
