Interestingly enough the Russians could not get their scramjet to exceed M 5.7 or 5.8 until NASA stepped in to help, then they got it to M
6.5.
LOL!
Do you even read your own sources?
When your to quick on the draw, you end up shooting your self in the foot, and right now you’re missing a few tows there buddy!
Further tests made jointly with NASA pushed the Russian scramjet even faster. These were carried out in the dead of the Siberian winter so that
the extreme cold would make the fuel on the missile denser than normal, allowing more to be packed in and increasing the top speed to about Mach
6.5.

Meanwhile I believe the NASA X-43A scramjet powered craft hit around M 9.8. Interesting, ain't it?
Not really, since X-43A is based on NASP, which was flat out bought from the Russians.
And yet again the same picture which tells a thousand words;

READ HERE - “Hyper-X”
Background
One of the primary goals of NASA's Aeronautics Enterprise, as delineated in the NASA Strategic Plan, specified the development and demonstration of
technologies for air-breathing hypersonic flight. Following the cancellation of the National Aerospace Plane (NASP) program in November 1994, the
United States lacked a cohesive hypersonic technology development program. As one of the "better, faster, cheaper" program developed by NASA in the
late 1990s, Hyper-X used National Aerospace Plane technology, and was to quickly moving it forward to the next step, which was demonstration of
hypersonic air breathing propulsion in flight.
To make it OBVIOUS, here’s the real deal;
Scramjet - Hyper-X
NASA's Hyper-X program is the successor to the National Aerospace Plane (NASP) program which was cancelled in November 1994. This program involves
flight testing through the construction of the X-43 vehicles. NASA first successfully flew its X-43A scramjet test vehicle on March 27, 2004 (an
earlier test, on June 2, 2001 went out of control and had to be destroyed)

Here’s the actual engine;

And the cherry on top;
Scramjet - Russia and France and NASA
On November 17, 1992, Russian scientists with some additional French support successfully launched a scramjet engine in Kazakhstan5. From 1994 to 1998
NASA worked with the Russian central institute of aviation motors (CIAM) to test a dual-mode scramjet engine. Four tests took place, reaching Mach
numbers of 5.5, 5.35, 5.8, and 6.5. The final test took place aboard a modified SA-5 surface to air missile launched from the Sary Shagan test range
in the Republic of Kazakhstan on 12 February 1998. Data regarding whether the internal combustion took place in supersonic air streams was
inconclusive, according to NASA. No net thrust was achieved.

So NASA paid for the tests to buy the test data only to conveniently find it to be “inconclusive”, then promptly shut down NASP program only to
resurrect it in a relabeled X-43 clone all in order to claim it as the their own design.
Dr. Wernher von Braun was not a scientist by the way, he was a good manager with a team to run, its he’s ambition that really went to the moon, and
“our own” Hyper-X project is nothing more then a fancy label stuck on the Russian hypersonic engine.
I would venture to say that as easy as it may be to look up a subject on Wikipedia, that still constitutes "research" unless you gain your
knowledge through osmosis.
My only answer to that is this -
www.wikitruth.info...
Wiki is for people who are not capable of independent thought.
What you don't seem to realize in your psuedointellectual verbal gymnastics is that I, like my wife (Intelgurl) am in the aerospace industry,
and I am more than merely acquainted with scramjets, etc.
Well, I’m very scared now, are you proud of your self?
I literally can’t contain my self, and I will immediately run to get my blanky and teddy bear.
I know where the blanky is, but I’ll have to ask my wife were the teddy is… this is getting weird…
The bottom line here is that you have attempted to hijack this thread with off-subject ramblings about scramjets, which are not the thread's
subject.
Are you calling me a terrorist? I know how it starts, first words like ”hijack” get used, “ramblings about scramjet”, then “somebody”
casually throws pu-239 into the mix, and then NSA tagflags go up.
What are you trying to do to me here? Confess!!
Feel free to start another thread spewing the virtues of Russian scramjet technology, but it is inappropriate in this particular
thread.
Absolutely your highness, please accept my outmost apologies for my inconvenient opinions. Your assertion of me “spewing the virtues of Russian
scramjet technology” are most indubitable, and will make sure to ask permission for the allowance of such behavior in the future.
How may I serve you today Master bios?
p.s. May I humbly request a list of what is acceptable and was is not according to Master bios?
Your servant, Iskander.
