This is very similar to the SR-71's J58 engines. As the velocity increased, they would divert air around the turbojet core and directly to the afterburner. At its cruising speed, they were essentially acting as both a turbojet and ramjet at the same time. Chimera takes that concept one step further by having enough bypass capacity to continue accelerating even after the turbojet is shut down.

It depends upon affordability . I know people who drove their Corvette at 130 mph in the 1970's, and their grandchildren are living in Chicago, unable to own a car, commuting home from work on electric scooters.

As the Cadbury’s mini egg champion 5 years running now , I have so much respect towards these humble engineers

Skunkworks has had ramjet engines for multiple decades. They had 4500mph aircraft since the 90s. The high desert in the West saw lots of hypersonic aircraft throughout the decades. I was in the military and witnessed a test flight coming in from the Pacific Ocean landing back in Palmdale California, which upon decent and slowdown still hit sonic barriers 4 times after it had throttled down 90%. Top speed was calculated at 4500 mph, and was said to be a manned test flight, whereas the cockpit was said to be liquid filled to mitigate speed related G force issues on the human body. The only fact I do know to be true after witnessing it, was that the test flight was a ramjet/pulsejet variety aircraft and it was faster than the SR-71. All other variables of that test flight mentioned above were told to me from a third party military officer with familiarity of the flight and a higher security clearance than I had. Whether their fact or not, I cannot confirm.

Great story, 😎

As a guy that drives around all day trying to keep the mpg to its lowest & look to do something, mad respect to these engineers

This is a really young team for the level of engineering they're trying to pull off.

Maybe the elderly have allready failed too many times and lost the vision that it could be done.

@@PetSKi67 the elderly have pioneered and achieved flight, developed the mathematical tools, created design systems, raised industrial complexes just to produce the materials, and literally conceived the notion of hypersonic flight. There is no such thing as failing too many times, because there is no end to the lessons to be learned. The vision of what could be done was never lost, it's been more about individuals becoming more wealthy than countries. Luckily some of those people have been becoming involved with progression in aerospace and space travel.

i think thats a foolish categorization

As a REST controller, huge 200 to this engineers!

As a failed electrician, huge respect to these engineers!
