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).

Yes, and thus the rationale for my posts 249 and later. They'll need to model the hypersonic aerothermodynamics very thoroughly. I trust they have some sort of advanced simulation in place and experiments like ISRO's recent successful launch need to be carried out regularly in order to add to the data base of experimental data, especially that of the reaction kinetics amongst other issues. God willing they will succeed! Why don't we think of starting a thread dedicated to modeling issues in strategic technologies? I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who have a lot of experience who could contribute. Perhaps you could float this idea among senior members and get this started.
