How much "bulk" would that result in over and above the present BrahMos (though the higher the ISP of the liquid fuel ramjet, the lesser would be the increase in the "bulk")? While this would be dependent upon the flight path/profile, what in your estimation would be the upper and lower bounds in terms of the CM's trajectory during which the scramjet would be deployed?

I will have dig into my archive ( unfortunately I am short on time for that), IIRC the hypersonic injection altitude should be ~ 20 km and cruise at ~35 km.



Military ram/scram jet will use the same kerosene fuel. Exotic gas fuel is not very appealing for mil use; though ISRO will very likely use LH2.
