A revolutionary hypersonic engine for aircraft has been presented in China.

Chinese scientists have unveiled a new hypersonic engine that allows aircraft to reach speeds of up to 20,000 km/h.

This engine has two operational modes. After achieving a speed of 7 Mach (approximately 8575 km/h) using rotational detonation for maximum energy efficiency, it switches to a tilted detonation mode that enhances stability and performance.

Prospects for Use

Thanks to this technology, a flight from Paris to New York could take only about two hours, which is a tremendous achievement.

In short, Chinese scientists have developed a hypersonic engine that could change perceptions of speed and open up new possibilities for aviation.
