There are very interesting projects for the future of aviation. one of them turbojet and ramjet engine that combines the basics chimera is happening.
company called Hermeus, turbojet with ramjet able to switch between chimera He is working on an aircraft engine named “Aircraft” and is actively testing this engine, as you can see in the video above. The engine, whose performance has exceeded expectations for now, is of great importance as it is an option that can change aviation. In its most basic form, going up to Mach 5 and above. A ramjet is required to reach supersonic hypersonic speeds. However, ramjet can only be activated at high speeds, a pre-acceleration is absolutely necessary to run these engines. So this engine must have a turbojet It needs to be supported by the engine. chimera This is exactly where it comes into play and as we said It brings the two structures together. An aircraft equipped with this engine can take off from a normal runway, engaging the ramjet after reaching the maximum speed provided by the turbojet engines. It can reach speeds of Mach 5 and above.

So basically engine with a hybrid structureby the firm one of the most important technological achievements to make operational hypersonic flight a reality seen as. Turbine-Based Combined Cycle Engine (TBCC) The engine, which is also referred to as the engine, is revealed with the impressive transition process that we mentioned at the very beginning of the video above. “Most hypersonic platforms are powered by rocket engines. However, this approach is much more difficult to reusable and dangerous to use on passenger flights.” declaring Hermeusthat adds: “By producing a hypersonic engine that doesn’t need a rocket to accelerate, We are laying the groundwork for reusable operational hypersonic aircraft.”
“Another advantage of this engine design is that it adapts to existing transportation infrastructure. chimera based aircraft will be designed to operate at conventional airports. The company, which also made the statement, definitely not chasing a fantasy. With the successful demonstration of its transition between the two different infrastructures, Hermeus is putting the engine in real flight tests (under the Quarterhorse project) in late 2023.Mach 4 will be tried) wants to insert. As reported, the US Air Force is behind the company, as you can imagine, such an important technology first finds support in the US in the focus of military aviation.
