Quote:BTW, your statement If DRDO has quasi perfected a Scramjet for that.... doesn't mean that what is most likely a proof-of-principle experiment on scramjets by DRDO comes anywhere close to perfecting a working and reliable scramjet for the Brahmos-II let alone the AVATAR! Incidently FYI the precise flight envelope of the AVATAR hasn't been finalized.
Of course its a time bound process because fighting the forces of friction is pushing aerodynamics to its limits! Rome was not built in a day right? It takes time when any technology ends up into a successful product/item. You want workable n reliable scramjet, wait for it, they are working on it (scramjet), and you n me know that extreme technical challenges are involved here (high temp/shock waves physics).
