What engine will they use for testing then, what are its limitations? BC they are going > than mach 1.
Edit: reread the article, I guess it's not 100% clear if they will go that fast but it's doable with existing jet engines of course, separate from new potential efficient engines.
- numpad0 6y agoIf I’m right, turbine jet engines won’t hold up against supersonic airflow anyway, so intakes has to be cleverly designed so as to feed them with subsonic air of sufficient volume at all speeds. So there might be some wiggle room between engines with sufficient TWR and durability?
