Re: New Generation Fighter
Hi those pics look very cool, but dont you think that the intakes are very close to the rear of the plane?
Scram jet and ram jet are quite simple structually, almost not really an engine, but they require high speed to operate.
a- turbojet, b- ramjet, c- scramjet.
I think the top is for a turbo-type engine and bottom maybe a scramjet. What they could do is have a panel that could direct airflow from top inlet to the turbo and then close it off to by pass the turbo when scramjet kick starts using the lower inlet.
