DRDO to test indigenous scram jet engine next year

[Angad_NSA]

Mach 24 & speeds more than bullet.

This has been achieved in Agni-V. So, whats difference?

fails to make turbofan kaveri?
goes on to make scramjet...

but goodluck anyway.

I do no know if in your country an institution introduces a new technology, another institution either under a different ministry or a competitor to it in its field takes over the R&D of the Former. Here in India its not it. There are several technologies which ISRO posses but DRDO dosent and Vice versa.

Go read articles related to the testing of Scram Jet Engines By the ISRO. And How on earth is Kaveri a Fail and Besides it generates power equal to those engines introduced into your newest fighter aircraft's.

Then we havn't seen the future missiles yet....


This is an old pic... i think 2010...It was validating RLV or HSTDV....i don't think it was the test for scramjet engine. Scramjet engine till now has been tested in controlled conditions (labs and wind tunnel facilities) and has achieved speed close to Mach 6.

ISRO conducts flight testing of advanced sounding rocket

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully conducted the flight testing of its new generation high performance sounding rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) on Wednesday.

Advanced Technology Vehicle (ATV-D01), weighing 3 tonnes at lift-off, is the heaviest sounding rocket ever developed by the ISRO. It carried a passive scramjet engine combustor module as a test bed for demonstration of Air- Breathing propulsion technology.During the flight, the vehicle successfully dwelled for 7 seconds in the desired conditions of Mach number (6 + 0.5) and dynamic pressure (80 + 35 kPa). These conditions are required for a stable ignition of active scramjet engine combustor module planned in the next flight of ATV.

The successful flight testing of ATV-D01 is a step ahead towards the advanced technology initiative taken up by the ISRO in the area of Air- Breathing propulsion.

ISRO's design of reusable launch vehicle approved

India’s dream of joining the select group that possesses reusable launch vehicles is close to realisation. The design of the winged vehicle by Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro), the Reusable Launch Vehicle-Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD), has been approved by the National Review Committee.

An Isro official said design-related issues have been addressed and presented to the National Review Committee and clearance obtained to go ahead to build the RLV-TD.

The space agency, as a first step towards realising a Two-Stage To Orbit (TSTO) re-usable launch vehicle, has developed a winged RLV-TD.

Isro, in its recently released annual report, stated that design options have been finalised. Besides, the mission design has been completed with a revised vehicle mass. 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.

The first in the series of trials is the hypersonic flight experiment (HEX) followed by the landing experiment (LEX), return flight experiment (REX) and scramjet propulsion experiment (SPEX).

During HEX, the vehicle will take lift off in the form of a rocket with a booster. Later, it can be recovered from sea. Though the trials for the first experiment are slated to take place this year, an Isro official said the launch date for carrying out HEX from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota has not been fixed. The development and flight testing of the Reusable Launch Vehicles-Technology demonstrator missions leading to Two-Stage To Orbit (TSTO) is part of India’s Space Vision 2025 and is expected to bring down cost significantly.

Isro, in January 2007, conducted the Space capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE-1). Launched by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C7) from Satish Dhawan Space Centre on January 10, 2007, the capsule was successfully recovered on January 22, 2007, from the Bay of Bengal.

Here you goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Welllll Doneeee ISROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Omega007]

GREAT going ISRO!!NowLETs hope DRDO also succeeds to pull their armed version off in the near future.

@ INDIAN SOLDIER
Thats ATV-D01....It flew in earl 2010...why are you posting it now ???????? Already its being posted alot of time on the forum and discussed....

This article is talking about that reusable capsule tested way back...there's video also of IN recovering it from sea....i think its isro's official video...something like showing annual report but its even older than ATV-D01 test.

Australians have also developed some hypersonic vehicle.
