High-speed aircraft maker Hermeus has revealed a ramjet-powered test vehicle that can be launched from under the wing of its supersonic Quarterhorse aircraft.
The unveiling of the Ramjet-X concept reveals a low-cost, expendable vehicle capable of high-speed flight to complement the reusable, Pratt & Whitney F100-229-powered Quarterhorse.
“Ramjet-X gives us a way to put new systems into sustained high-mach environments without building an expensive one-off test program every time,” Hermeus CEO Zach Shore said.
