Hypersonic Missiles Could Fly Faster, Farther With GE-Lockheed Ramjet Engine

Hypersonic missiles could soon fly faster, farther, and cheaper thanks to a new ramjet engine developed by GE Aerospace and Lockheed Martin.

The liquid-fueled rotating detonation ramjet features a compact design that frees up space for extra fuel or payload while cutting manufacturing costs.

Its smaller footprint, combined with higher thrust and improved fuel efficiency, allows missiles to travel farther without adding weight or size.
