1% (0.01 atm) of the sea level pressure is a bit less pressure than at the SR-71 Blackbird's highest altitudes. If all that atmosphere was 100% oxygen (instead of 21%), would a (sc)ramjet still be able to fly in it? If not, would it be able to fly in it if Earth's gravity was lower?

    $\begingroup$ @Sanchises You're right, I made an attempt to ask the question instead. What should I have done to answer it? The question and its answer should be useful to the OP in the first place. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Do you mean, would the engine be able to operate, or would the aircraft be able to fly? VTC as unclear. $\endgroup$
