History

Hypersonic flight in Australia

Australia has led the way in scramjet airbreathing propulsion research. Hypersonix is now at the forefront of commercialising hypersonic flight.

2002

First successful scramjet flight test. HyShot program launches the first scramjet to produce supersonic combustion.

2012

Ground test of DLR CMC’s at scramjet combustor conditions at NASA. CMC panels undamaged after multiple 45 second tests.

1989

T4 shock tunnel commissioned at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. More than 6,000 scramjet grounds tests conducted since, at real flight conditions.

2015

First flight test of hydrogen-fuelled 3D scramjet: HIFiRE 7.

2019

Ground test of SPARTAN scramjet engine.

2021

First 3D printed fixed geometry scramjet in Australia.

2025

Target first launch DART in Q1 2025.

The first launch of DART is under HyCAT with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) which Hypersonix was awarded in March 2023. The launch will be from the US and the boost for the first launch will be provided by Rocket Lab on their HASTE rocket. The first launch will show speeds of Mach 7, a range of 1,000 kilometers, the hydrogen fuelled SPARTAN scramjet engine to be switched on and off several times as well as a non-ballistic trajectory.
