Mode Transition from Turbojet to Ram / Scramjet (MoTr)Program Goals and Objectives Ground test an integrated Turbine Based Combined Cycle propulsion system using hydrocarbon fuel to validate the transition from turbojet to ramjet/scramjet in a hypersonic propulsion system
Technical ApproachComplete current FaCET and HiSTED testingDesign TBCC model leveraging DARPA investments in hypersonics:
HTV-3X
: configuration
HiSTED
: Mach 3.5+ turbine engine
FaCET
