But the problem was the noise... and fuel consumption. Awesome sight for spectators on the ground of night flights! | |

An SR-71 would be a better illustration, with its turbo-ramjet (switching over between turbojet and ramjet somewhere above Mach 1). | |

| Aug 30, 2021 at 18:46 | comment | added | mins | @DanielK, I made a mistake in the wording, what I wanted to say (I'll update) is neither the ramjet (subsonic combustion) nor the scramjet (hypersonic combusion) have a fan. | |
| Aug 30, 2021 at 18:21 | comment | added | Daniel K | "Actually supersonic (and hypersonic) engines have no bypass." This seems to imply that all supersonic engines are turbojets (and not turbofans). But for example F-16 fighter has a max speed of around Mach 2, it is powered by F110-129 which does have bypass (now it is low bypass, only 0.76:1, but still it is bypass). Maybe you just meant to say hypersonic here? | |
