Hypersonic cruise missile engine. Engine used in the first ever ground test of a full-scale fully integrated hypersonic cruise missile using conventional liquid hydrocarbon fuel. This engine is part of a collaboration aiming to produce a future high-speed strike weapon capable of speeds in excess of Mach 6,with a range of 600 nautical miles. Hydrocarbon fuels are non-toxic and safe to carry onboard ships. Photographed at NASA's Langley Research Center,Virginia,USA,in 2002 | |
