A prototype hypersonic jet. Not to scale, the real one fits on a wing to launch. Start in midair, it should reach 4000 mph before running out of fuel, which is what the real one does. Enjoy!

Indeed it does move. @EnderWiggin you don't have to post links I'm following you now so I'll see all your planes.
@OminousGloom
I uploaded my second SCRAM Jet installment. This one definitely moves.

@OminousGloom
I built a very basic proof-of-concept SCRAM but it needs about another 2,400mph to really be true to form.

What ideas do you have for that? @EnderWiggin there are a few things I could build pertaining to scramjets.
Any SCRAM-Jet plans?
