SCRAMJET testing done at Mach 10!

Reuters News

Wow!  Now it’s a live testing that completed the SCRAMJET (Superonic Combustion RAMJET) engine testing!  This is a monumental stage folks!  In the aerospace world, trying to provide engines that could burn fuel at supersonic (internally!) speeds have been very very very hard (nearly 30 years  of testing and theories!) so to me, this is a superb news!!

Shoot.  I hope no one is surprised!  😛  With gas prices around $3/gallon, if I were to buy a new car, I’d seriously consider hybrids… at least higly fuel efficient ones.  Gas companies and car companies alike should get the message to their brains… that we the consumers are sick of paying too much for the gasoline and that we want cars that are better at fuel economy!!

Time to dump my wife’s gas guzzler!  😮  😛
