GE Aerospace shows off groundbreaking hypersonic dual-mode ramjet engine


In just 15 months, GE and its partners were able to design and test a new dual-mode ramjet prototype. With its dual-mode architecture, GE's prototype breaks the...

GE Aerospace's latest prototype offers up to 3x the airflow compared to existing ramjet solutions, translating to greater fuel efficiency, longer range, and potentially more applications. With its dual-mode architecture, GE's prototype breaks the mold of the typical ramjet by operating in lower Mach ranges, increasing its use case applications. This innovation evokes memories of the British Airways Concorde supersonic jet, which could travel from New York City to Los Angeles in just two hours.
