They are investigating new configurations in collaboration with NASA's Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion Branch at Langley Research Center in Virginia. The next great leap for jet propulsion will be to power-sustained, efficient flight through the atmosphere. Ground test hypersonic propulsion and vehicle concepts. Airbreathing Hypersonic Propulsion at Pratt & Whitney – OverviewRichard R. Various technologies, namely, hypersonic flight, autonomous landing, powered cruise flight and hypersonic flight using air breathing propulsion towards realising a Two Stage to Orbit (TSTO) fully re-usable launch vehicle. The object of the test is to attain hypersonic speeds with air breathing propulsion system. Most satellites have simple reliable chemical thrusters (often monopropellant rockets) or resistojet rockets for orbital 7-Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion (Aiaa Education) by William H. All current spacecraft use chemical rockets (bipropellant or solid-fuel) for launch, though some (such as the Pegasus rocket and SpaceShipOne) have used air-breathing engines on their first stage. Landing was never in plan 1 or 2 (paragraph 3 "controlled descent into the Pacific"). The RLV-TD will act as a flying test-bed to evaluate various technologies — hypersonic flight, autonomous landing, powered cruise flight and hypersonic flight using air breathing propulsion.
