Both scramjet and Ramjet are types of jet engines. A ramjet is an air breathing jet engine which is usually associated with supersonic transport. Ramjets can start at supersonic speeds only, so as a result they cannot be started at zero velocity and cannot produce thrust as there is a lack of airspeed.Hence assisted take off flights or rockets are needed to or accelerate it to a supersonic speed from which it starts producing thrust. This makes ramjet engine to be efficient only at supersonic speeds as it can accelerate to speeds of about Mach 6. Ramjet has revolutionized Rocket ... Read More

A turbojet engine is used in Aircraft. These are air-breathing engines which suck in air from the atmosphere for combustion. It has various components like inlet, compressor, combustion chamber, turbines, and nozzle. Air is drawn into the turbojet engine, compressed, mixed with fuel, and burned continuously.The exhaust product of this burning operates the turbine for the compressor, producing thrust which propels the aircraft. Turboprops are used in smaller and slow-paced air crafts as turbojets are not efficient at low speeds whereas turbofans have better specific fuel consumption than the turbojet. These engines are generally installed below the wings or near ... Read More

In the present day fast-forward culture, everything should happen at jet speed. People do businesses across continents and Airplanes are a very convenient way to travel. But many people are not delighted to travel above 35, 000 feet up in the air.How High can a Plane FlyEvery airplane has a certified maximum altitude. The highest certified altitude of an airliner was Concorde's 60, 000 feet. Many of the corporate jets can fly at 51, 000 feet.Regular passenger international flights fly between 35000 to 42000 feet. That is considered as optimum height. "Each individual aircraft has an optimum altitude (for minimum ... Read More
