Purdue University is using state-of-the-art additive manufacturing equipment to print a full-scale, fully operational prototype of a supersonic combustion ramjet – or scramjet - an engine that allows aircraft to travel at speeds of Mach 5 and beyond. Researchers in PARI’s Hypersonic Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (HAMTC) believe this innovative scram jet design paves the way for more affordable and expedient prototyping and manufacturing processes across the hypersonics industry.
