Abstract

At the Institute of Flight Propulsion (LFA) of the Technische Universitaet Muenchen scramjet research has been carried on since the 70's. Based on the experiences gained during the last decades experimental and numerical studies on scramjet engines are currently conducted within a research training group (GRK1095) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The main goal of this program is to design a fixed geometry scramjet engine for a Mach 8 flight at an operating altitude of 30 km. In addition to a historical overview latest research results are presented in this paper.
