Maybe this is what Boeing and Airbus have been waiting for, since they have cut funding to most of their big projects.NASA was doing a project similar to this engine but after failing to get it working decided to use the technology on missiles.
The project started in 1980's but was pretty different to what it is today, the mastermind behind the engine didn't give up and hes now about to make history.SCRAMJET?If thats the one where they strap a missile to a massive plane and launch it in the air at Mach 4? (I think its that speed) then yes thats the program.Sounds like that will be expensive for an airline program, not so much for missiles. Not strange if they scrapped it.
