The test flight of the Jindouyun ramjet engine took place earlier today and was a complete success.

2024年12月17日9时,"筋斗云"(代号"JINDOU400")高速冲压发动机试飞圆满成功。该型发动机推力超过400公斤,在20公里以上高空实现了4倍音速飞行。发动机采用了爆震燃烧技术,引入模块化设计,在临近空间高速飞行领域拥有巨大的商业应用潜力,为"云行"系列超音速飞机的研制打下了坚实基础
At 9:00 on December 17, 2024, the test flight of the "Jindouyun" (codenamed "JINDOU400") high-speed ramjet engine was a complete success. The thrust of this type of engine exceeds 400 kg, and it can fly at 4 times the speed of sound at an altitude of more than 20 kilometers. It has huge commercial application potential in the field of near-space high-speed flight, laying a solid foundation for the development of the "Yunxing" series of supersonic aircraft.

Video of the test flight:

"Chinese commercial space enterprise YUNXING completed on Tuesday in northwestern China the test flight for the ramjet of its series of supersonic airliners which is expected to have its maiden flight in 2026. The jet engine coded "JINDOU-400" has the thrust of over 400 kilograms. It achieved four times the speed of sound at an altitude of more than 20 kilometers. According to YUNXING, the performance data in the test flight fully verified the stability and reliability of the engine."
