Scramjet, thermal protection structures, high temperature materials, hydrocarbon fuel.Abstract
Scramjet is a kind of aspirated engine, where oxygen in the atmosphere is used as oxidant to react with fuel in fuel bunker. Structural components are used in the scramjet to generate shock waves at high speed to compress the high-speed air flow, and realize the deceleration and pressurization of the air flow, which is different from engines where air compressors are used. Technologies related to the scramjet power/fuel are presented, and the features related to this kind of engines are highlighted in this paper. The development process of the scramjets in the application field both home and abroad is overviewed. The problems involved with scramjets in hypersonic vehicle application, combined cycle power system, design of thermal protection structures and high temperature materials are discussed. The critical technologies of scramjets, i.e., tail nozzle, combustion chamber, air inlet, fuel selection etc. are identified. The features of hydrocarbon fuel and its application in hypersonic vehicles are summarized. And the progress of research of the relevant technologies and personal prospects for scramjets are briefly described.
