SRIHARIKOTA: India on Sunday became the fourth country to successfully test launch a scramjet engine, The Hindu reported.
The test flight, which represents a milestone in the ISRO's efforts regarding its future space transportation system, took place at the Sathish Dhawan Space Centre launch pad.
The purpose of the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) experimental mission is the realisation of an Air-Breathing Propulsion System that utilises hydrogen fuel and oxygen from the atmosphere as an oxidiser.
The scramjet engines help reduce launch costs by cutting down on the amount of oxidiser which needs to be carried along with the fuel.
An ISRO official told Indian news agency IANS that the two air-breathing engines hugging an Advanced Technology Vehicle rocket normally start breathing air when the rocket reaches a height of 11 kilometres.
The ISRO said, "With this flight, critical technologies such as ignition of air-breathing engines at supersonic speed, holding the flame at supersonic speed, air intake mechanism and fuel injection systems have been successfully demonstrated."

E.g. the news about the scramjet engine has not made it to any other international paper yet.

India is not the fourth but just the third country to successfully test the Scramjet Engine, the other two being USA and Australia. Using this engine can dramatically reduce launch costs by reducing weight and increasing efficiency.
Eventually, the aim is to place this new rocket alongside the Re-usable Launch Vehicle (RLV) which India successfully tested a few months ago to make rocket launches more affordable. Currently it costs around $20,000 to send one kg of matter into space.

Scramjet engine principles have been known for a very long time. These are much simpler than even the simplest jet turbine engines that power modern aeroplanes. There are no moving parts inside the engine. The challenges are in the high temperature materials and the gas flow dynamics. However, the main point is that this is not a space launch technology at all as the engine needs supersonic speed to ignite. Thus in this demonstration it rode strapped to normal solid boosters and only on reaching the required high speed at 11 km altitude the scramjet started functioning. It cannot be started from the ground or even at lower altitudes. After 11 km it can work for only a limited distance before the air becomes too rarefied that there isn't enough oxygen for scramjets to work. this is the reason why no one used it for space launch functions. It is purely a military technology for air-breathing multi-Mach supersonic missile systems. But that role is very hard to demonstrate.

I have been part of ISRO for limited time and let me tell you where these scientific advancements are being used.
It helps us to develop our own GPS System which is functional now.
These satellites help us monitor and predict environments which help us to generate early warnings to help poor farmers using TV and radio.
Some 2 years back Orisa, India state faced a tsunami like Chennai faced some decade back but loss of life at orisa was just some couple of people while at Chennai we lost thousands brothers and sisters.
We monitor drought, flood and even traffic and terrorist activities can be monitored using satellites. Uttarakhand faced a cloud burst and ISRO already generated warning about it but political actions were not taken. What after disaster?
In India, we have NDRF which takes action in case of disaster so how they take action? All roads/rails and airport are destroyed so ISRO tells the way by real time monitoring and also warn for future stroke.

Did I forget to tell you that Scramjet technology can be used in any flying object which uses fuel.
The biggest concern for flying object is its weight and a huge amount of weight comes from its fuel.
It can be used in Commercial flight as it is an alternative to oxygen they have to keep in liquid form to burn fuel.
If fuel weight is less then you take extra payload and that a big big commercial benefit.
It can be used in missile system and again payload amount will be high.
Obviously, to reach up to missile and a commercial flying machine part, it will take time as it needs to be updated and test for above-mentioned areas.

If India can generate some income from other countries in launching their satellites and providing other low cost services it would really help.

Congrats to India. No doubt its a big achievement but we must keep our feet on the ground.
On another note, when will we as Indians and Pakistanis understand that together we can work wonders. Americans, chinese.....must be thinking about us as crying babies not capable of working together to help improve living conditions in our respective countries. What have we acheived since independence....buying arms from our so called friends and spending heaps on our defence capabilities rather then spending the money to uplift out fellow countrymen......food for thought
